Anyone else notice a typo in autovista for the Delorean? If you click on info about its wheels the onscreen says 14 inch but the announcer says 15 inch.

I would do, but i'm already part of a club with my mates. I don't think you can join more than one club can you?

So with the shared cars in the Neowin club, how does that work? I have not tried anything yet, just have seen them, so can I use them, or if I use them, does that mean I am the only person using them? If that makes any sense. :laugh: I am home sick today from work, so I will probably get a few hours in a bit later on.

Anyone can use the shared cars, but only the owners can modify them. I have to look and see if there's anyway of putting notes on the cars, I was going to share my A-Class drift cars, but they're nearly un-driveable as race cars.

Thanks for the reply. I am still on a Level 13, so once I get a bit higher up in the ranks, I will share any good cars I might have as well.

Pretty much the one downfall for using the wheel is the same downfall one has always had while using the wheel, it just does not have all of the buttons, such as LT. Also it is near impossible to apply any custom decals etc, as one cannot spin them using the wheel, at least not as far as I can see. I may be better off though, as I remember wasting hours with Forza 3 just playing around with decals. LOL

heh heh you're using the wheel again? is it the same one from the previous two Forzas?

and what's all this with the neowin club? nice initiative. as for the game, really love it, better racer even than the previous one and glad they incorporated some of the wacky PGR stuff, like the bowling pins. also glad particle effects are back, finally some dust and stuff flying around, unlike in Forza 3. my only disappointment is the soundtrack. it's still good and ambient, but nothing like the sheer epicness of the menu music from Forza 3.

I haven't really heard the music much until yesterday. I was streaming music from TVersity so I was just listening to what I wanted, but since my 360 and laptop don't seem to want to stream I've listened to the game's own soundtrack. It's pretty good, actually!

heh heh you're using the wheel again? is it the same one from the previous two Forzas?

Yep same wheel. I have had this wheel now for awhile, a good 4 years now if not longer. Only downside with the wheel is they did a recall on the power supply. I called MS as instructed way back then, twice actually, both times I was told I was getting the new power supply mailed out to me, but I never got it?? Which was indeed odd as there support was always super responsive, etc. Maybe they deemed I had one of the okay wheels, but I am constantly feeling the power supply just to make sure it is not overheating. :s It does seem to be fine though, I have never even come close to seeing smoke, etc., so I am pretty sure it is good to use. Still, would have put my mind at ease if I got the replacement power supply. It makes the game so much better though, like there is not even a question if it is better with the wheel or not.

Great. So I kicked the 2 remaining members of my club so I could close it but if I try to leave it I can't. It tells me that I must promote someone to leader before I can leave it. is there no way to close a club?

    • 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.
