Hmmm so I didn't get any of the VIP stuff yesterday, on todays first wheelspin I notice I get a VIP bonus I didn't get on any of yesterdays.

 

Unable to invite anyone to the club right now, the club overview is giving unknown error.

 

But anyone who's my friend should find the club by looking for friends club when the game gets to the join a club stage, or just search for club Neowin or tag Neo


Also if anyone figures out the airport discount board. Double tap the guide and click x or say record this ###### ;)

Also just for information, if you challenge a drivatar on the road, the course doesn't have any checkpoints, I'm sure you guys can figure out why that can be... beneficial...

 

I thought that was the point? When challenging cars in the previous game, you'd be given an end point and that was it. With this game being more open world (you can drive pretty much everywhere) you're encouraged to take the car off road.

Makes it easy to win when you can drive a quarter of the distance ;)

 

Also, I get it's a road trip, but I'm not taking that route...

Yeah it does seem a bit strange, I guess you can't implement checkpoints without taking away from the freedom, but then as you said you potentially lose half the race.

 

Also pics seems to be broken...

How do I access the DLC cars? Pre-order bonus and Launch Day car pack, if that makes a difference.

They were under Garage or My Cars for me, forget which one, I then just had to activate them through the game.

The advert for this was on tv last night, i gota say GT6 has a lot to live up to.

 

GT6 or GT7? GT can't hold a candle to Forza anymore. It's one instant where Microsoft has put the money in to get it done right. 

 

This game is the BEST fun I've had on next gen so far.

Activate them how? I'm at work but don't remember seeing them in either place, just 2 cars.

From the pause menu there was a marketplace area. I went there and was had to download, which is what I meant by activate, each pack, even though I had redeemed the code before I even launched the game. It then did a quick little download, and that is when the cars then showed up under cars I owned.

It made no sense at all to be honest and seemed ass backwards, but that is what worked to get the game to recognize I owned those packs. It was showing the cars as costing $0 as mentioned above, but that did not matter until I went to the marketplace and downloaded them.

I think it is safe to say they are having some odd things happen due to launch on the servers, as they should have just been recognized as soon as I launched the game, especially since as I pointed out I downloaded them first thing.

Thank you very much for clarification. I'll try this when I get home. I appreciate it.

      Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.

      Wow, throwback.  VERY VERY briefly - but realised that it wasn't the language I needed for the tasks I was taking on.
    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.

      Last time I used Pascal was in college about 40 yrs ago, programmed an inventory database for my exam.
