Jealous bitches

Here are my stats as of last night. Sean I just copied yours and I put mine in bold so it's easier to compare.

Career complete: 54.9%-48.3%
Total Winnings: 5,541,016-5,633,259
Online Winnings: 12,169-155,347
Current Credits 5,574,674-1,174,259
Total Repairs: 49,439-47,069
Parts Value: 1,129,130-3,673,940
Garage Value: 33,351,130-42,708,940
Cars in Garage: 96-115
Time Driven: 55h 56:33-47h 42:10
Distance Driven: 5,031mi-4,415mi
Number of Victories: 629-571
Number of Podiums: 637-582
Number of Races: 646-583
Distance Jumped: 134.5 ft-143.3 ft
Top Speed: 220.8mph-217.1mph

I know I did at least 230 in my Veyron

And spend some money you stingy bastard

And I can't remember all of the free cars I've gotten. I know for a fact I've gotten:
-Porsche 911 GT1
-Nissan GTR V-Spec
-Audi R8 V10
-Audi R8 V8
-Lamborghini Murcielago

There might be one or two more, but not too many more. I sold the R8 V10 because I bought one earlier in Career that was already all decked out. I still have the R8 V8 though

Here are some pictures from yesterday:




















I just bought the SV yesterday. It has the LP640 engine in it

I'm buying the Countach and regular Gallardo today. I love Lambos.

^I was that way with my garage in FM2. I kept maybe 5 cars of each class and that's it. I sold the rest.

I'm about to start the E-class endurance race. See you in an hour!

I keep all my cars so I can get discounts on parts. I try and not race any car that is alredy level 5 unless I have 5 cars of the same make already at level 5 so my discounts are already maxed out.

^I do the same. I have three S2000's because first of all I love them and second because I find myself always using them, so I spend 20k and win a shit ton more than that with them and also get the discounts since all of them are Level 5.

I didn't know this before, but the Countach has 15" wheels

Glad to hear I'm not the only one having problems with the MS wheel. Although it is getting easier to use after a few days. Slower times or not, the game is a lot more fun with the wheel.

Hell yea. I think I'm up to 60 or 70% off of Honda and Audi upgrades because I use those manufacturers the most.

I won't be on tonight but I'll be on tomorrow!

My FORZA has been freezing too much lately I even downloaded the game to the hard drive to no result. I may have to buy another copy. I did verify with other games, the laser reads them fine.

mine would ALWAYS freeze too every single time i try to do any gaming in "free play"...i pick a car, pick a track, click start race and it freezes every time, but thank god, no freezing on career mode.

hey is there any way to race in the rain or at night on tracks?? i kind of miss this feature from other racing games. rain would be too much fun and i wanna see my headlights flip up on my F355 challenge!

GT5 will have both, Forza 3 has neither unfortunately. Closest you can get to nighttime is the startline at Catalunya lol

Speaking of that, my girlfriend and I were playing yesterday and she asked why there was no weather or night driving in the game. I think that would have been a great addition to an already awesome game. I think the game can't be considered the #1 simulator until those elements are added.

You won't be disappointed with the Fanatec wheel. I highly recommend it. It's like a whole different game with it.

But GT5 does not have damage... so you need to pick your battles I guess. Personally I prefer damage modeling over weather/time of day...

I bet but I'm sticking with getting a DSLR for now. The wheel will come later

Do you have any videos of using the shifter and clutch?



Here are some pictures from yesterday:

not to mention the glitches like the rear view mirror shit. the flickering shadows, how every car runs off the road if its in front of you, or the predictable AI that will run you off the road if you are in a turn and taking its line.

I also can't stand how shitty the lighting is when adding vinyl to the car. Now I'm not one to put stickers all over the damn place but it would be nice to see what I'm doing when I decide to add something to the car.

You may think this is just another Fit with a stupid wing, but it's much more than that


And this is what pisses me off. Look how far away from him I am and we aren't even directly behind each other and yet I still get penalized for it

Uh oh... if that's confirmed then uh oh. From what I read though it was only limited to racing cars... not all cars.

Even if it is all cars... based on GT5 Prologue I still like the way Forza plays better...

^Nice! Welcome to the AZ FM3 crew

I've been busy with school so I haven't had a chance to add anybody here or take pictures recently. I should be on sometime this weekend.

And I bought a Nikon D60 from another member here on Acurazine! It should be here early next week!
