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.

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 :/

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
