I'm sure you'll get yours soon enough :D (Y)

Imported my Forza 3 profile and got a nice bunch of cars gifted plus 60,000 credits. Had two races and now been throwing my beloved E39 M5 around the Top Gear track, the sound of its' roaring V8 makes me weak at the knees :laugh:

So much automotive bliss, I love you Turn 10 :wub:

Do you have to do anything special to get it. I have a 2003 530i so I'm dying to get an E39 in the game. I also used to have a 1973 AMC Javelin which they have in the game too.

Thats what I mean, if you had slower people you could end up smacking into each other :D which would be fun!

Agreed :D

The Top Gear track is in career mode as I've just found out; one of the events is to knock down pins on the track to gain a certain level of points within one lap.

Nah, it's part of the official car list (not DLC). Fired it up via free play/hot lap and chose the Top Gear track to throw it about.

hey Radish how do you import your Forza 3 profile? maybe i need to look again before asking...

The first time I started it asked me if I wanted to use my Forza 3 profile or create a new one. I had restarted Forza 3 because of a lost hard drive so I didn't get as much as Radish but I got about 20,000 if I remember correctly.

It's like how Ironman273 said, does give you a nice head start if you're already Level 50+ in Forza 3 (Y)

Oh and I freaking love having the Top Gear studio to showcase your garage -

Because I've never done it before.. How do you get your screenshots from your Xbox?

If your upload your screenshots to Forza's storefront via the game, you can login into Forza's website (http://forzamotorsport.net/en-us/Default.aspx) with your XBL account. You'll see your screenshots and be able to download them.

The rivals mode in this is really well done and addicting. My complaints about the credit XP from playing in F3 is not a problem in this game!

Only complaint is the pre-order RX-7 unicorn which you pick-up in F3 to import into F4 didn't import. I even deleted the F4 save file and restarted.

Been playing the game for a couple of days now. Overall it's good but one thing I hate is start of a race. You're basically given a cut scene with the engine revving, then it goes into the cockpit and you are given about 1 second to get your revs setup for start, way too little time. I usually lose places on the start as don't have enough time to get revs dialed in. This was bad on Forza 3 but I think you've got even less time to do it now on Forza 4.

Play Career > Cars > Change Homespace. You also get the open Top Gear track as a homespace :D I got 60,000CR on importing my Forza 3 profile, which I promptly blew on tuning the E39 M5 with turbochargers and the like :laugh:

I see cues from NFS: Hot Pursuit (2010) (Rivals is kinda like Autolog for competing against others) and PGR4 (cone sprinting) in Forza 4, they are welcome additions (Y)

E39 M5

Well played, Turn 10. You have my money... well, you will. This has been enough to convince me to rent the game tomorrow, if not buy it outright. I imagine there's a lot of fun things that could be done with the E39.

Just buy it, you won't regret it.

I don't wanna buy a wheel just for this game (I use a Driving force GT Lightning for my PC) so my question is; will the xbox joypad be good enough for playing this competitively online?

Yes.

Is it just me, or does anyone else find the engine sounds a little.. cheap sounding? I thought they were better in F3.

To me they sound more realistic, if you want to truly appreciate the FM4 sounds go listen to the vacuum cleaner cars from GT5 :p

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
