I'll add you when I play later today. Also, search for the Acurazine club on Forza. The 4-digit code thing is AZNE if you have a hard time finding it.
I'll make sure to join the club this weekend. Btw, sorry I didn't message you or anything last weekend. BF3 and Mass Effect were consuming my free time

Nice pictures btw! Good to see I'm not the only one who likes taking pictures in Forza.

So I picked Forza up again this weekend. I was kinda bored after an hour or so.

I wish it had rally racing. I wish it had rain and night racing. After a few hours of racing and car collecting I was ready to turn it off and I used to play Forza 3 for HOURS and HOURS.

What am I missing that would get me excited about this game again? I think I'm only at level 18 or so. I was playing BF3 for a while but I'm pretty bored with that.

I can only play for an hour or two. Unless its rivals or online, in which case I can play for hours.

I do wish they had rally. They have trucks in the game, so why not? Night races and weather would be sweet as well. Id love to run the 'Ring at night in the rain. Hopefully for FM5 or even the new Horizon game theyre putting out

I can't play for more than an hour either...and even then its just buying cars and time trials.

Can't stand the grind when its just the same ol' tracks and time of day.

Forza to me is notoriously sterile.

Morgan I'm guessing the 599 GTO plate says something bashing a Lambo?

I've started to get bored with the game as well. The Porsches will be a nice addition but we have to wait almost 3 months for them

I'm curious as to where the Caterhams, Ariel Atom, and the KTM X-Bow are. Those are definitely track cars. Also here's a few of my K swapped EK out for a thrashing at Tsukuba:

Wouldn't it be nice if they came out with a really great driving sim game that was open-world? You could drive around a city/freeway a la GTA and choose to race people or enter other time trials as you choose? Drift competitions through city streets? Something to break up the lapping of the same 12-15 tracks over and over but still with the same level of detail to the cars and available modifications/upgrades. Would be sweet!

All of that would be awesome....

1) TDU2 style open world...Day, night, rain, etc.
2) Forza Physics and customization.
3) Somehow incorporate real world tracks, maybe an option.
4) PGRs level of detal.


Anyone remember Midtown Madness? Loooooong time ago on PC. Chicago was mapped out with weather/time of day, even traffic jams at morning and afternoon hours on the freeways.

Open world is I think the next big thing in racers. TDU has done it, just not perfected it. NFS:HP has come the closest to open world perfection.

There's your perfect sim right there. Have track racing and also street racing, but would be more prone to getting your car totaled, impounded, etc etc. Would be fun pulling up to a stoplight in a Lambo next to a Ferrari and going on green!

I really wish they'd add cars people actually want to drive. No one dreams all day to drive a freakin old ass Fiat.

Try to re-download it. It's happened to me before.

Am I supposed to do something extra to get DLC packs to install? I already posted I can't get individually purchased cars into the game, but I just bought the November DLC and that isn't showing up in the game either. WTF

I had this same kind of trouble too. You'd think they would make it easier to do.

The Ultima completely upgraded has got to be the fastest accelerating car in the game.

220 on the back straight at Sebring.

I love the Ultima. I got mine up to 270 on the Mulsanne straight with the rear spoiler delete, buts it jumps around. With the front and rear spoilers, it'll do ~255. That thing is insane. Its easier to drive without the turbos though, and only slightly slower (like .04seconds). It'll still hit 60 in 2.2seconds, 1.8seconds with the drag radials

Just a head's up. If you can beat Juan Pablo's time this month of 1:32.574 (it's a dirty time btw), you'll be eligible to get the new Zagato from the DLC & you'll get the LP640 unicorn.

The challenge is Indy Road Course (Sunrise) with the ZR1. Not a hard time to beat, but you may have to work for it.
