I don't plan to buy/rent & play Forza 4 anytime soon but this thread has had me hooked onto it. I found a Forza 4 setup in a bestbuy (Cambridge, MA) with the new wireless-hold-in-air-with-your-hands wheel and played a couple of laps and it was fun+easy. The wheel felt really responsive and better than using controller. This is obviously coming from someone who has never used *any* wheel before so probably doesn't count much but I feel that thing is good for someone like me (amateur, casual etc.) at least.

I was never good at simulators and hence never had any desire to pick up Forza but recently I spent some time on Forza 3 and I loved it. I will pick this up as soon as "life" allows it. :)

The pack looks great, even though some of the cars aren't really to my taste. I can see the Chevy Bel Air being a blast to drive, though. It might be one of the few Chevrolet cars I can say I like for the design. I remember it being one of my favourite cars in Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition, but I'm curious how it is going to handle in a more realistic game environment.

I'm not a huge fan of Le Mans cars (likely for the same reason I'm not a huge F1 fan: the cars aren't production models or based on them), but the R15++ could be fun to try out. I wonder if they'll put it into R1 class, like the 'normal' R15, or will it just immediately appear in X Class? If it does then it'll be the only stock X Class car in the game. I want the GMC Typhoon to be good when upgraded.

On an unrelated note, how far can you upgrade the Hummer H1? I returned the copy of the game I rented on Tuesday so I can't really discover for myself. I'm hoping it would turn into some kind of beast after upgrading, but I am fairly sure that wouldn't happen. A friend crashed in an H1 into my Prius after using the entire straight on the Old Le Mans as a run-up, and the H1 came off worse than the Prius, somehow. I'd laugh if it got into A Class. If anyone has an H1 and Hummer Affinity 4, then could they check it? The H1 would be hilarious to race against Ferraris and actual sports cars.

You know when you go into your clubs garage and scroll through the cars? Some of the cars in my clubs shared garage come up as black squares, so the only way I know which ones i'm on are to select them and go to the lobby. Any one else have this problem?

Yep, I was having the same problem. It seems to have fixed itself now.

Finally reached driver level 50. Next on my list is to save up for the Sesto Elemente.

How much is the Sesto Elemente? I was in a race against it with the Zonda R, and it seemed to be slightly better than my Zonda because it would occasionally pull ahead before I'd catch up again. It's a great looking car, even when it was only really designed for racing.

IMO the Zonda is the better car. Also IMO, the Reventon with a weight reduction (the final stage drops a ridiculous 1000 lbs or something) is better than the Sesto.

The Sesto is 2.5 million credits, too.

Well try them both. :laugh:

For it's power to weight ratio, I found the Sesto lacking, but I will say that I've only tried it stock in rivals mode. Could be better topped out at R3.

Oh i'm definately gonna get the Sesto for sure, but 2.5 mill isn't exactly chump change, add on that the upgrades. So i'll sort that car out for my club and i'll get one of my other club members to sort out the Reventon. And if the Sesto turns out to be rubbish i'll be very very p****d off! :laugh:

Have to say i'm absolutely loving Forza 4. After the utter disappointment of GT5 i'm so glad we have such an awesome driving game which has some real longevity. Only managed 1.47 around the TG track so far though :(

Anyone know if the Ariel Atom is in the game? Absolutely dying to try that car out but haven't seen it so far.

The atom was in the third, but so far ot in F4 unfortunately.

I love the small nimble cars, but I suck at driving the cause I suck cornering and thus keeping speed in corners which ishowtheycan compete with far faster cars. Indeed big huge heavy cars that still handle good, and heavy enough to bully myself through :p

So for anyone who's interested in trying out the Hummer maxed out, I've added it to the Club Garage. it's a mid A class car which handle's as you'd expect!

Also did some nice visual alterations to it, just to give it the right 'pussywagon' look. :laugh:

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By fintechfooty · Posted

      is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
