I'm pretty sure that no matter when you're driving you can hit pause and go down to photo mode.

If those two features made you that excited...I don't wanna know what you're gonna do when you find out about the other awesome features.

^You are haulin'!

After I get over the nice stuff in Free Play, I'll start playing in Career soon.

Playing with the Photo Mode which is pretty useful in the game.

ZR-1





My favorite car probably on one of the best tracks in the game, the 10 mile mountain run in Fujima Kaido.

Thanks! All it takes is practice my friend, remember to not stay on the throttle once your car is starting to slide...give it little bursts of throttle and countersteer. I'm cgtpotomac btw online!

^cool, I'll add you

I cannot seem to get the 62 degrees view with my game, what am I doing wrong?

Multiscreen:on
mode:host
channel:0
view:center
degrees hidden:0.0
degrees btw screen:62

and my console restarted and it's still not working.


And for those playing often how do you use the clutch? I just shift, is there more to it?

^Sexy pic of the Reventon! Those tail lights are too sexy.

I use the manual tranny without the clutch so I can't help you out too much with that. I'm just lazy haha

Aside from putty and paint, the wheel stand is done! I feel sorry for anyone driving with the wheel on their lap, this is truly the best thing I've ever done for gaming. I'll be putting the DFP wheel and pedals on there in a bit to check out the setup difference.

Nice drift shots, all of you guys. I don't know how the clutch works at all in FM3 but maybe it helps in drifts?

^Do what you gotta do man. The only reason why I have this game is because Santa was generous and came early this year, bringing me the game

I used the clutch in the demo and hated it, therefore I don't use it in the actual game. I haven't used it in drifting yet either. Maybe I'll do that tonight.

Add me on XBL -
RetiredMongoose - Tom (gotta love the random generator)

I'm up for some racing (semi-serious). Only had the game a few days, but I can't seem to get enough of it. Props to whoever posted the multiscreen mod - very helpful!

Beautiful RS CL! The car is an absolute beauty to drive. I've played a few hours today and I'm on level 7.

Daniel, this game is absolutely crazy. If you're remotely into cars AND gaming, it is a must have in my opinion. I do think the price was expensive (90) but it's worth every single penny of it.

The clutch features works pretty nice and use it all the time, when I'm inside a corner. I just dip it (while the throttle is applied fully) then release right after, just like you would in real life.

I always told people that GT4 would be unbeatable and probably the best racing sim ever made, but FM3 really showed me otherwise.

I can't put the game down too, just that damn multiscreen thing that isn't working for me for some reason.

if I had a wheel and pedals with a clutch I would use the, but on a controller it makes it too busy for me. It does help in launching a 2wd car on the drag strip though. If you get off the power immediately with the auto clutch it re engages even unless you are using X amount of throttle.

Same here. The last game I bought was GTA4 when it came out almost two years ago. I'm not a big gamer, but I'm all about GTA and Forza

I've been racing online alot recently. The only thing that pisses me off is that you can't do the public matchmaking online with a class lower than "A". I got a C-class Civic that tears it up.

ps guys... play online to get those level's and your money up quickly.

i played online with a few of the guys here over the weekend and was making up to 14,000 credits and 12,000 XP for EACH race online... sometimes when you dont even win

the more people in the room the more money you get... and levels are going up like crazy when you average 8-12k XP a race....

Last night was the first time I've really raced online and was trying to win. For the most part, everybody I was racing against was mad cool and not just a bunch of noobs in Enzos thinking they are the shit. Like you said, if I finished the race within 30 seconds of the first place guy, I got between 8000 and 16000 credits. Shit was crazy.

And at the angry Ferrari guys. Sounds typical. I love Ferraris, don't get me wrong, but you can't beat that AWD. And that sticker added easily 50 horsepower and took 860 pounds out of the back

Yea holy shit! I wasn't expecting that and I nailed a wall in my R8 V10

That was the one and only time I've used the rewind feature.

I think I level up faster in the game (most high level races are way above 14k for a race), but it is less tedious online. I went from 45 to 48 last night online without even realizing it.
Also. I am addicted to tag virus on benchmark ring E. With 8 people there is more fun to be had there than anywhere else.

true.. but the higher end races take like 20+ minutes... you can race 3 laps on short maple valley in 4 minutes or less and earn 12k and do it all over again with a bunch of guys and its a blast!
