That is some insane skill. Props to that guy!

racing with american cars anyone? any tips on handling?

Look for front wheel drive or all wheel drive cars. You lose a bit of power, but gain some handling. I just built a Subaru with my first decent paint job (pictures turned out too dark, so I have to retake them later) and it took a few hours to tweak it just right. I still don't have it as good as Larry's boy, Martin, claims to have it (6.2 accel, 4.7 handling), but I'm just hoping he misquoted his specs, because keeping it in class B, the best I was able to do was 6.1 and 4.4 respectively. However, getting back on point, I only have a top speed rating of 5.8, but top speed should be the last thing you worry about. Think about it. How many times do you even break 150mph? Not that often. You want to be quick out of the turns and the rest can be dedicated to improving your handling.

Like I said, he has the guide, and like he said, he has way to much time to play. Way to much. LOL

He is supposed to come over either tomorrow night and or Saturday, and show me all of the tricks to tuning.

That does not mean I will get it, but he is going to show me, so I will pass along whatever I learn if I do learn anything.

He did mention to me the big key is the upgrades that a person buys, so I believe his specs 100%.

He is seriously the type of person that once he gets it in his head to master a game or an aspect of a game, he does not stop until he does it.

For example the first two months of Gears of War, he was unemployed, and dedicated way, way to many hours to playing it and maintained a rank that kept him in the Top 100 out of everyone playing Ranked Games, Top 50 for the first month. He was getting recruited by pro gaming leagues and the whole nine. He is just one of those people that when he puts his mind to it, he learns everything about a game possible. Then he will not play any games for months at a time, Just really odd. :wacko:

The point is I do think whatever specs he gave you were 100% legit. He is right now obsessed with the game.

Also got the game. It's brilliant!!

One thing I can't figure out is: How do I clone vinyl's from one side of a car to the other side? I am pretty sure I saw this option some where but I can't, for life of me, find it.

Go to the other side of the car and hit A on an empty box. On the menu that pops up, towards the bottom, is the option to copy the vinyls over.

ummm.. so how do I export this to the net? I don't get it.. what do I do?

Take a photo and save it. After you save it, it will ask if you wish to upload to the official forza website. Then you just go to the website and grab the image file.

hmmm.. well ok, here's the thing, I don't think I uploaded it, is there a way so I can upload my saved pics?

right, but i'm really keen on racing with the RWD V8's, and those are a pain on the track in this game. not that i'm a pro or anything, but my Caprice used to handle herself much better while road racing back in the day. i'm thinking they kinda exaggerated the characteristics here?

Im just addicted to the paint shop mode. Update :blush:

Really, really nice no doubt. (Y)

Great job on the whole thing. Simple yet extremely well done. That 8 Ball is really sweet.

Damn, now I am going to waste hours upon hours in this vinyl editor this weekend.

I have drawn myself way to many times just using simple shapes, so my DL character (which my main "simple" version I do is in my Avatar that I made using simple shapes in Adobe Illustrator) is going to be somewhere on my car this weekend!

Does anyone else have a problem with entering the code you get with the LCE to get the free cars? My code has a "-" after the first two numbers and when I enter the code it doesn't put the "-" where it should be and thus the code is invalid :/

    • The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair
    • If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
