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!

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?

    • Web search has been one of those crap ware that I try to get rid of asap. It's annoying and slow. It was a cheap way for Microsoft to drive traffic to Bing.
    • All I can say is that think the USB G8 is better in many ways, and costs the same or slightly less. I wouldn't part with mine. It's even a big improvement over the G6 USB. (You can also use studio phones (up to 600 OHMs I think) with the G8, but I have to say that even relatively cheap 30-50 OHM phones sound absolutely great--far better than through most internal motherboard sound!) Considering the difference in these products I am surprised that Creative is still making the PCIe internal card versions. https://www.headphoneer.com/cr...ve-sound-blaster-g8-review/
    • I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)
    • I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output! Memories...
