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:

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By RejZoR · Posted

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.
