the only thing that bugs me, compared to gt4, is that the steering in forza is 1:1 with the thumbstick.

you can go full lock to lock with the flick of a thumb in just a second.

i'm not positive (need to go test it out) but in gt4 you weren't able to do this. it was more realistic in terms of how long it takes.

you can also notice this in replays, where the wheels look a little more "twitchy" in forza.

i'm still loving forza, and still think it's better than gt4 overall. but i still love using my DFP...

Yeah, same here. Im prefering Forza over GT though I love GT with the driving force. Its just so much fun, if only the DFP worked on the xbox. :pinch:

I bet if you made a convertor (very easy, less than $3) for USB to xbox, you could plug in the DFP

Things needed:

xbox extension cord = $0 (call pelican, and tell them that you require them for your light gun. they will send them. I got 2 this way)

usb cord = <$2 (we all have plenty of them)

soldering iron

solder them together.

you just wont get the wheel lock and the force feedback.

do research before trying though.

can you go into detail about the bugs?

i have not come across any yet.

There are currently two known bugs. One that allows you do get as much $$$$ as you want, and the other that allows you to earn money that helps you level up.

THe first glitch, lets you upgrade an engine, and then buy a new engine (for cars that can do this), then re-equip the old engine, and then sell the new one. On the VW Jetta, you can buy a new engine for $2500 and sell it for around $40K

so, that is glitch one...

Glitch two allows you to play on xbox live, and lets say I host. I set the track to maple valley short, 1 lap, , and have 8 people join. As soon as the race starts, the hosts backs out to the join menu, and changes the options to Nurburgring, 25laps. Now, you will earn the money for Nurburgring, 25 laps, but only complete 1 lap at maple valley. 1st place gets around $375K

the engine one seems pretty odd. i have heard of the second one, i was just thinking more of bugs, not exploits, but i guess you could look at it either way. doesn't bother me though, i won't be touching them. and all the n00bs that want to get the fastest car, but not learn how to drive, will still get smoked.

yup! I still beat all of the enzo's with my porsche 959. Unless it is the test track that is.

I actually dont mind the bugs, or exploits. For me, it is about having the cars, spending an hour on the test track, tweaking and everyting, and then going online and seeing how I do. Everyone breaks out the Enzo's now, but thats ok. I have an Enzo, and unless I am on the test track, I'll go with my 959 everytime.

(but, i do like having the extra money for all the engine upgrades) :)

      So the card is targeted at headphone users - so the review should be from someone that uses this - maybe I can review a card next time.
    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have a older F4-210 NAS, it is pretty basic, the CPU is not the fastest by a long way and only 1GB of ram, but it works fine. I don't understand the need for A.I in a NAS. It seems like A.i is being shoved into everything, if we like it or not. i will stick to my old Terramsater NAS, thankfully the OS is not being updated. Also, got myself a small NAs built using a Raspberry Pi 5. iy usesd less energy, so stays on all the time. As for the unit above, if it is as reliable as my old Terramaster Nas, then it will be a good unit.
    • Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors by David Uzondu Google has started rolling out an update to Gemini in Google Sheets that allows the AI to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click, as long as your Workspace admin has Gemini for Workspace in Sheets turned on. According to Google, the new feature can handle pretty much everything from basic arithmetic to very complex calculations. This ability to debug formula errors comes about two years after Google introduced basic formula generation with Gemini in Sheets. To create a formula with Gemini in Sheets, you open a spreadsheet on your computer and click Ask Gemini in the top right corner. You can also enter an equals sign in any cell and use a shortcut like Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows and Chrome OS, or Command + Ctrl + G on macOS. Once you open the side panel, you write a natural language prompt using your sheet references. For example, you can ask Gemini to divide goals by games, or to find cell C1 in range D:G. If for some reason, the formula Gemini generated doesn't work, or maybe you wrote the formula yourself, you can troubleshoot the issue directly inside the grid. When a cell shows an error message, you hover over it and click "Fix". This action opens the side panel where Gemini analyzes the data structure and automatically applies the fixes when they are ready. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking stop in the side panel. Image via Google Google has been pushing its Gemini integration in Google Sheets for a while now, steadily moving AI features from side panels directly into user spreadsheets. Last year, the Mountain View giant shipped an =AI() Function in Sheets that allowed users to run translation and text generation directly inside cells instead of using the side panel interface. Earlier this year, the company announced that Gemini in Sheets had reached near-human expert performance, achieving a 70.48% success rate on the SpreadsheetBench dataset.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I get what you are saying, If i go onto the Instagram site, it says log in with Facebook, but they are not allowed to link my account with Instagram until I do that. Maybe in the U.S, they can link them, but Privacy is not a thing in the U.S. the way things are going,l won;t be any better in the U.K.
