Forza 4 1st drivers challenge

[ELVA164]

You know, I wonder how realistic this game is. Could I use actual tire stuff? Like, can you get the tires hot and change the pressures?

[ELVA164]

Wow, so I just did some reading and apparently you can do all that?! I just got super stoked about this game. I could even figure out optimum tire pressure for the Cortina maybe! So cool. I wonder how to check warm tires...

[Wschnitz]

Pressing in one of the sticks will bring up a stats screen while driving, showing tire heat, body roll, etc.

Got into the 1:45's tonight

You know, I wonder how realistic this game is.

I've been wondering the same thing but more so with how these lap times reflect real life lap times.

[ELVA164]

Uh oh, back to 3rd...got a 45:635, but that doesn't seem worth posting now. Guess I'd better get to it tomorrow. I think there's definitely time figuring out how to keep the rear in around corners. It has a tendency to oversteer.

[blasphemy101]

Did a little bit more running tonight, messing with pressures. I too found more pressure in the rear tires yielded better results. I was able to keep things in the 45-46 sec range, but I was not able to beat my previous 1:45.5xx time. I can't wait to mess with it some more tomorrow, now that it looks like I'm on the right track.

FWIW - I imagine acceleration stats and stuff like that are going to be relatively accurate, since they can be approximated pretty well. The tire physics, of course, are the real issue. Supposedly, they spent a good deal of time on it for Forza 4. I don't think you could compare lap times down to the second, but it's probably pretty true to the "X car is faster than Y car around Z circuit" level

[EDIT] Holy cow! The top 3 are within ~.15 sec of each other. Looks like Saturday is going to be pretty exciting...

Welp, I did like 20 almost identical laps with one or two good ones and that STUPID bottom half of the corkscrew ruined them, but I finally got this:


1:45.198

Apparently top 1% of people in C-class! That's cool!

[Eric]

Whoa. Any way to post a video of a fast lap? I'd like to see how i'm doing so miserable... I can't break 1:50!

[Ervin87]

1:51:384 after playing for 30 min. Didnt do any tweaking. I will try to play one more time.

I'm not sure how to do that...do you have to do it right when you do the lap? If not, I'll find one of mine.

This - I started using hotlap mode and was impressed how well the e30 kept up with my other C-class ghost. Awesome time, dude.

Congrats u crazy fuck lol

At this rate I'm not even going to make our leader board!

[ELVA164]

Thanks guys! :up:
I'd be happy to PM people with any help I can provide/answer questions about lines and stuff...

[samiam3356]

I'm in... I'm already in the r3v club just have been playing other stuff lately. Got a head set so I'm ready to get back after it.
