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

    • Age of Empires Mobile comes to PC, here's how to carry over progress from your phone

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Age of Empires Mobile comes to PC, here's how to carry over progress from your phone by Ivan Jenic Image: YouTube/Microsoft Microsoft just released Age of Empires Mobile for PC. The game, officially called Age of Empires Mobile: PC Edition, is available for free on Steam and Microsoft Store, almost two years after its initial release for handheld devices. Age of Empires is one of those franchises that entire generations grew up with. The original came out in 1997, and immediately got people hooked to building civilizations and crushing their enemies on the battlefield. However, the franchise today is a far cry from its roots, as Age of Empires Mobile is, well, a game optimized for handheld devices, and not a classic RTS title we’ve all loved for years. And, of course, it includes in-game purchases. The PC version is still a mobile game at its core, but it’s been optimized for desktop play. There’s mouse control, full keyboard compatibility, and a refined UI. Microsoft also refreshed the visuals with some 4k textures, so the game should look better on larger screens. The game supports Crossplay, so you can switch between your phone, tablet, and PC without losing anything. But linked progress doesn’t come out of the box, as you have to enable it first. Here’s how to link your progress: On your mobile device, open Age of Empires Mobile. Go to Settings (Gear icon) > Account. Select Bind Account and choose a sign-in option. Once you enable account binding, sign in on PC using the same method, and your progress will be accessible across all your devices. Xbox Game Pass subscribers also get a bonus reward pack on PC, which includes: 1 Monthly Pass Token 1 Custom Resource Chest 10 Universal 60-Minute Speed-Ups 1,000 Empire Coins Exclusive Player Portrait Frame You can find more info about Age of Empires Mobile: PC Edition, as well as download links, on the Age of Empires official website.
    • Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features. Grab the discounted Apple Watch Series 11 (sold and shipped by Amazon) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake

      By +Edouard · Posted

      The laptop in the bedroom is an Acer with i7-10510U CPU. Acer's website states they will not be upgrading it so I had little choice other than disable secure boot. I know next to nothing on these matters so hopefully it will be fine.
    • GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans by Karthik Mudaliar GitHub is removing the ability to manually select an AI model from its Copilot Free and Student plans, making its automatic routing system the default and only way to choose a model. This means users on these tiers will no longer be able to deliberately select a particular OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Microsoft model for a task. In its announcement, GitHub said Copilot Auto will dynamically choose what it considers the best model for each request. Free and Student accounts will retain access to models from multiple families, although the available selection will continue to depend on the restrictions attached to each plan. GitHub did not identify a fixed pool of models that Auto will always use, and its documentation warns that model availability can change over time. GitHub describes Auto as more than a random fallback system. On supported surfaces, its task-optimization technology evaluates the complexity of a request alongside real-time information about model health and availability. Straightforward prompts can be routed to faster and less expensive models, while more demanding coding tasks may be sent to higher-cost reasoning models. The company says this approach should reduce rate limiting, latency, and failed requests. Auto generally selects one model along natural prompt-caching boundaries rather than repeatedly switching models during a session, as GitHub found that mid-session changes increased costs without producing sufficient improvements in output quality. Users can still check which model generated a response. In Copilot Chat, the information appears when hovering over an answer, while Copilot CLI and the Copilot cloud agent display the selected model alongside their output. Auto is available in Copilot Chat, Copilot CLI, and the cloud agent, with the exact implementation and release status varying between supported development environments. The latest restriction follows several months of adjustments to Copilot’s individual plans. GitHub temporarily halted new Pro, Pro+, and Student subscriptions in April as it sought to manage demand and service reliability. It later introduced token-based billing and began gradually reopening individual-plan registrations on June 17. Alongside the picker change, GitHub is retiring the “Preview” label from Microsoft-developed models. It argues that the label is no longer necessary because Auto handles model routing and models are continuously updated behind the scenes.
