Quote from Shotglass :

not quite sure what you meant to say with this but any freak accident that may have shown the old high nose bug in action would undoubtedly be influenced far more by the collision detection bugs

Quote from danthebangerboy :

i think he means that so called bugs that only occur when having an accident cannot really be classed as bugs as such, as due to the very nature of accidents, an unpredictatle and unforseen occurance, which is kind of a good point, as any numder of freaky unexpected things can happen during an accident.

Yes what dan said. In an accident, while lfs will only simulate them and probably not be as random as real accidents a bug that appears when only in an accident while yes a bug, raises to points for me - firstly taking this example would people notice because the accident would mask and secondly even it was noticed it would not be a bug that could be exploited for an advantage because you would have to crash for it to work. Which comes round to your comment, shotglass, that the bug even if outside of the parameters would still be there. I was just raising the point, if it was there would it really need to be removed because it is a useless bug. Though knowing how lfs is developed any and every bug would be removed.

Quote from Shotglass :

e.g. imagine if we wouldnt have been able to raise the nose on downforce cars during version p days enough to notice the bug it would still have accelerated cars unrealistically if the nose went up due to a crash

Hmmm I agree with you in slight respect however, taking the high nose bug as you did. While it is a bug and I hope, as im sure everyone does, that there isn't any. Would that bug be spotted if it was a case of when you have an accident you gain a speed advantage. I am not sure it would be to be honest due the nature of the bug only being noticeable when you are having or just after an accident.

Only in LFS would a problem be found leading to the whole tyre physics being re-written and thats what I love about it.

This sounds like it will be a worthy wait for this update. Also will give me an excuse for why I am slow again

Looking good hereticlohani

Quote from hereticlohani :

Do I need to upload the skin also?

Yes, I want to check out all the skins in cmx before I finally decide the winners

Quote from hereticlohani :

I've done the road car skin already. Working on the single seater right now. Will do the race car shortly. Is it ok to upload the road car screen shot right now, or should I wait till the deadline?

You can upload them when you want. As long as you have the three skins uploaded before the deadline then I will accept them.

Good to see more people are getting into this though.

I agree for people to be careful with te invites. I am on RU but I cannot find how to generate the codes. (I assume you have to be on there so long, or gb difference of X ammount etc before I can invite but no FAQ lists it so :shrug

When I figure it out, I will send the codes out.

Edit: Ah after some searching and moving thread to thread to thread I found the answer. It seems you get a set number of invites and no more but you have to be on the site for over 3 months and have a good ratio to get the invites. I only got my invite a month ago so will have to wait a couple months before I can invite.

Off the top of my head:
Click new colours and then pick your skin name out of the list that appears

I said it before but it is amazing how they manage to get so much more detail in forza 3. Everything just seems to be better and higher quality than 3.

@Danowat: Don't tease us with the thought of something looking like forza 3 and handling like lfs. It would be a dream come true (and alot of extra expense in buying a new pc lol)

Quote from (The Stig) :

Are you allowed even to do this kind of thing? let the dev team have their say in this

Yes you are allowed to do this. As already said you are not allowed to give or sell your licence. So you cannot sell the licence in the name of 'The Stig'. However in these cases, I will simply buy an S2 voucher and give that voucher to whoever wins. It is really no different than buying a voucher from a high street store and giving it someone.

Anyone else got any questions, I don't mind it means free bumps for this thread

We are now 1 week down, hopefully more poeple can enter this. There is enough demo user's on this forum and who doesn't want a free licence.

Quote from Dajmin :

I'd make a mistake and the gap would increase to 500m, then I'd do a really good corner and the gap would go down to... wait, 550m? That can't be right...

I know how you feel in that respect. Though we had a good race on the nordschleife (sp?) in the standard camaro's. That was until I binned in the wall a few corners from the end .

Weird, in the year+ of owning forza the past couple weeks I have had the best online races.

Ah ok, never seen it happen.

The problem I find with the small grids is if you make even a small mistake the other cars get away from you and unless you are alot quicker than them you just end lapping on your own instead of just falling back into the pack or being able to catch the tail end back up.

Those car models are looking immense. There seems to be sooo much detail in them.

Quote from danowat :

I have seen grids of 9 cars before, but yeah, more would be better.

9? Thought the maximum was 8?

278 points, so you achieved position 41167 of 329256 on the ranking list


You type 366 characters per minute
You have 70 correct words and
you have 2 wrong words

Hmmmm - not bad but not as good as I thought would be, don't really need to type so much these days. I know when I was at uni (and so typing alot of reports) I could type 90 - 100 a minute. Guess I need some more practice.

Edit: second go, a little better
300 points, so you achieved position 30606 of 329352 on the ranking list


You type 384 characters per minute
You have 74 correct words and

Yeah there was some good races last night even though I cocked up a couple royally. More people would be good, just a shame you cant have more than 8 cars, would be good to get a full 20+ grid racing.

Well..................... no lol

Not even a week has gone past yet out of the month I set for it. So far though I think I am right in saying, there one skin entrant and 2 for the timed laps. Hopefully more people will enter though and turn it into a competition instead of the one person who enters wins.

Quote from Dajmin :

My account is short on cash, but that's only because my garage is obscenely big with a lot of pointless stuff I bought for achievements Easy enough to make 30k though.

Easiest way I know if fully tuned mines r34 skyline with no aids racing the skyline supra face off at the oval.

Either way, I got pretty much ever car I want to own and working on buying and tuning every car in game (for no reason other than i want too lol) but I have about 1.5 mill so if you cba to race I will happily gift them out.

Could make it interesting, Ill take the stats of the cars and build them before I come racing online. Seems like a good idea, if they aren't level playing could always be a slight change for another night.

Edit: Those cars aren't that expensive to buy/upgrade but if on the off chance anyone is that poor, I can afford to gift a few of them here and there.

Depends on how you buy your microsoft points but just worked it out, I got £9.71 (based one 2100 points for £17)

I wasn't going to get this game but after reading this thread, it sounds good so I will get it tonight. I'll try and add some of you on xbl so I can see your times, but also feel free to add me.

Sounds good, will try to make it tonight. However with work then food, wont be until about 7 / 7:30 that I can make it.

If anyone wants to add me, my gamertag is in my sig.

O/T should finally be getting the full trials hd tonight too, so would be good to challenge people on that too

Gotta love 'em

I think I have gifted everyone the paintjobs who wanted them but if I missed you shout out

Goddamn it Turn 10! Teasing us like this just ins't fair

Is it bad that I am considering booking a day or two off work for when this is released?

that skin is alot better than previous ones. Bit hard to tell on the small screenshot though, post the skin files up too and we can take a look at them properly

One thing to improve for the future is if you are doing a replica you need to replicate it. I notice the yellow lightening stike goes into the light on the fzr when on the 350z it goes along side and you are missing some sponsor logo's.

Add me on msn if you want and i'll WIP watch your skins for you

Quote from Luke.S :

o0 could i get one too please?

Yeah sure no problem Add me on xbl my tag is same as here One question though - Which car do you want? Norris Evo, the RSE Motorsport Evo or both?

Quote from e.M :

could u extend the deadline? cuz im on vacation until end of month

I set the deadline so it didn't drag on for too long, If there isn't enough entries then I might extend the deadline but for now, it stays as it is.
