Does anybody have this game for xbox? i do and i worked hard to complete the Arcade Series to unlock the McLaren F1. However i was disappointed to find it could only do 205mph Max!! This game is supposed to be realistic but i dont know of any F1 variant that could barely surpass 200mph. Also does anyone else have traction problems with the Cerbera Speed 12? It slides like the wheels are rolling on butter. you cant turn at all without spinning out.

The reason why the top speeds are so low are because of the immense downforces that they produce. That's why the saleen in the game as well as real life does not have that great a top speed.

but the Saleen doesnt handle good either,it has butter wheels.

Oh it handles like god.

really? cause i take it for a run down test track oval and if i turn just the slightest bit at 150mph it slides like hell and i almost go off the track. it turns good but is unstable at high speeds.

this is totally offtopic but how do i modify my rank? it says poster but what if i want it to say something silly?

i aint got forza but try lowering suspension buying softer compound tyres and creating more downforce on rear wheels and chage the camber setting to -1.0 or something that might help, oh and mayb stiffening the suspension and roll bars a bit (not too much)

Anyway, I don't have an X-Box.

The top speeds of cars are rated during perfect conditions on perfect tracks. There is no way you will reach the rated speeds under normal road conditions on the street... Might have something to do with it

The S7's handling is geared for sub 150. Above that, barring the 'Ring and Road America you won't need to worry about sudden changes.

As for the sliding tail, that's the physics engine of the game saying, "Lots of downforce...NONE!"

I'll mess with it tonight and see if I can do anything, I know the S7R has a wing on it for added rear end downforce, so I don't know if it'll be any different.

For RWD drive cars, stiffen the front springs AND front anti-roll bars so you get more understeer that way your car doesn't have a tendency to slide as much. Also, the differential setting is key although I haven't quite figured out how locking decides the handling (maybe a car expert can shed some light on differentials). I was able to handle the Viper SRT-10 with a bit more ease. The same goes for the Hennessey Viper (although I tend to steer a bit too much and slide it a little)

Just read the description on the bottom of the screen to understand it.

Simply put, a limited slip differential splits the power between the drive wheels. In the game if you slide the bar higher, it allows whatever percentage you determine in wheel rotational speed versus the other drive wheel (s).

For example:
70% on an S7, the differential will allow one wheel spin up to 70% more before the differential cuts the power to that wheel. (locking the diff)
What that does is it gives that wheel more traction by killing the power to it basically, and allows the other wheel to do the accelerating.

So...on high horsepower cars, set the percentage low, not too low, I usually leave it at 34% for track racing, and 68% for making fantastic replays.

But, that's my personal driving style, find your own "sweet spot". =)

this is gonna side track abit but, whats the best tuning to tune a car say, an trueno for turns and crysler for straights?

The mclaren is kinda let down but oh well, its just a game

I borrowed the game out a couple of times, i never played much of the singleplayer stuff, just hooned about with my dad. We ended up on one of the first tracks ramming into eachother with a Zonda and an Enzo.

that's some good advice,i'll try tuning it a little. Personnaly im lazy when it comes to tuning cause im always nervous i'll make the car worse than it was before but i guess u gotta take chances.

Heh, I guess that's why my 968HP Skyline M-Spec handles a lot better than my Hennessey Viper (in the game of course). Yeah, the confusing part for me is basically whether to increase the percentage or decrease the percentage of diff. lock on high-HP RWD cars. Well when I get back on Forza, I'll remember that.

^Yup, basically...the higher the %, the less traction you'll have.

The lower, the better. Obviously, it all depends on personal driving style.

I guess now I know why they had that warning about 'excessive locking'

wewt! 200 posts!

The saleen is a car you have to learn to drive..simple as that...

it's not a "gas brake" car....

You guys do realize you're talking about physics in a video game..

Point being?

Don't try and make it sound lame Attaus, tons of people game.

He listens to the Mad Caddies..he has no room to talk

Physics are a very appropriate topic in a game such as forza motorsport. It's not so simple as picking a car and racing. Forza focuses a lot of emphasis on "REALISTIC" tuning to run a car good out on the track.

Physics don't apply in virtual reality.. its more of how the game is designed..


I game too, but I play games like NFS: MW.. but i'm not worried about taking the quickest line..

Video games are for fun, not calculation.

most games do this, but by steering with the d-pad, the car does not spin

:| isn't it untill you reach level 49 or 50 that you actually get the enzo (which is rather crappy in comparison with some other cars in the game)

Never bothered to play the arcade mode. Still trying to finish the last few races in the game

physics are nothing but mathmatical computations....

NOW....maybe you're talking about physics in the sense that..
"what goes up must come down" physics...but everyone else when thinking physics thinks of a plethera of different variables/equations ETC

Physics shmysics, taking a tuned Ferrari out onto a track, or an XJ220 against 7 other people on Xbox Live, without worrying about damage is alot of fun. MW gets boring after about ten minutes once you complete the game.

maybe its f1lm??:-k

i beat arcade mode a long time ago. got all the cars for free run:) im still only 54% done the game though.

Arcade mode is a quick finnish...Im sure you can breeze through it in a cuople of hours.:-k

the last race though was one a b1tch to finish because the AI racers cheat alot and their cars go faster even if you're using the same car as them with increased power from tuned exhaust. i used an Audi TT with Modified exhaust and the volkswagen golf was still close behind the whole way...

I can't for the life of me beat the Shelby challenge. The car slides waaaay too much in stock form. I'm thinking of trying to improve my Drivatar but the last time I did, I pretty much hit a roadblock in the practices as there were no improvements

did you read my post in here about how to get a really good drivatar?

edit: you did...

Actually, I can probably go back and conservatively spend my 500K credits on a good RWD car I can drive comfortably (I bought a Lancia so hopefully that can be my improving car)

Arcade mode is a quick finnish...Im sure you can breeze through it in a cuople of hours.:-k

yeah, the reason I didn't try is that I currently have 3 user profiles up on 80% completed, 24% completed and 92% completed.

(the 24% completed one is for testing purposes)

I couldn't care less about arcade mode. I want all the cars in career mode :)

you can get all cars and do anything you want if you create a new profile with the name tEAm4rza or whatever it was.

o really? I never saw that cheat anywhere. The only cheat I saw was a lame cheat involving the Jetta

what does the Jetta do with this cheat?

It pulls money from it's arse.
It's lame.

Finished arcade mode.
Again lame.

Still didn't finish career mode though. I'm lame as well I guess.

how do you do this cheat?

The Jetta cheat is totally FUBAR. All you do is buy upgrades for your stock engine, then install the engine swap and then reinstall your stok engine and sell the swap for 70K and you keep doing that over and over. It's really FUBAR IMO.

lol wierd cheat

its not really wierd, its what you call in real life, swindling

basically it's a glitch they never caught while developing the game

There's also another glitch involving the race title. I think the event is supposed to be called the "911 GT3 Cup" where you unlock the 911 GT2but instead, it's called the "911 GT2 Cup" (or it could have been the other way around)

did you hear about the glitch in the Championship series? even if you win all the races if you dont get the last one they dont give you the cup and the car. that glitch is pretty serious.

theres a glitch in a bunch of racing games...you just have to find it

actually most games have glitches,not just racing ones. i think pretty much all the games i have have some sort of cheat or glitch you can exploit.

glitches are common in games, its just whether u notice it or not
