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

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By WaltC · Posted

      AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.

      AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.

    • Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
