Re: Best racing game shift2 or forza
I think of everything, Forza lacks immersion. I've had more thrills driving a Go-Kart than the 911 GT2. It bores me out of my skull. I like the realism of the car's handling, but the game is just boring. There's no sensation of speed, aside from the road passing under the car, and even that is dull....

Re: gt1 setups
Check out this thread, and scroll down to the GT1 tunes. My personal favourite is the Lamborghini Murcilago R-SV GT1, because it's so stable.

Re: Best racing game shift2 or forza
Ok, I've been playing the Forza 3 demo, but I've had to stop a bit for exams. They're both good games, but I like Shift 2 more. But let's face it: I've never driven a race car. I've never pushed a car to its limits of grip. So when I'm given a racing game and told it's realistic, I've got to trust t...

Re: Why are there not more racers playing shift2 ?
I've got my exams next weekend, so I'm swarmed at the moment. I get off on Friday next week, so we can have a race to celebrate in the afternoon around 4 EST.

Re: Best racing game shift2 or forza
I remember playing Forza and not liking it, but that was back when I had little interest in sim racing. I should still have the demo of Forza 3 on my 360. I'll get back to this thread after I remember to try the demo. What I don't understand is how the Forza community acts like such d*cks towards th...

Re: Clean online Racing & autolog xbox360
My GT is LITE992. I drive the Nissan GT-R in races and Time Attacks, and Lamborghini Murcielago in Drags and Standing Miles. I drive with Elite Handling on Hard difficulty, and my favourite modes are Time Attack and Endurance. What I consider my greatest achivements are winning the Spa Endurance rac...

Re: Nordschleife at night. Oh how I hate thee!
I'd also recommend practicing on the track beforehand and tuning. Using the Best Line can also help greatly with night race. I've only done this for Endurance races and I got easy wins even on Hard.

Best line vanishing
On long races (usually those with >7 or so laps, or even a single lap of Nordschliefe) the best line has a habit of vanishing and reappearing. This becomes more frequent, until it goes away completely. It happened around lap 12 or the Spa Endurance race. I've gone into Options, unenabled and reenabl...

Re: Violent car crashing
This has never happened to me, but I've witnessed it happen to an AI. It was at the beginning of the Spa Endurance race, accelerating down the starting straight towards the first left-hander of Eau Rouge (the first corner). Suddenly the AI a few cars ahead of me begins spinning and flipping. From my...

Re: Nürburgring lap times
Thanks for the link above, helped alot. I'll give Nordschliefe a shot sometime soon when I get the time to do it (I love running laps on Monza). I'll give it a shot in my Works Nissan GT-R, Murcielago and McLaren F1 (when I get it).

Re: Why No 3D customizable avatars?
Also, how do customizable avatars make a racer immersible? The helmet view is more immersible than that.

How is an avatar going to affect game play at all? FM, GT dont have avatars and they are ultra realistic so how does making an avatar make a game realistic. If anything avatars make a game gay.

Re: Drift
I currently drift with a Works Corvette Z06, and I must say drifting is a challenge in this game compared to previous NFSes (well, it's a simulator). For tuning, all I did was set all gear ratios to low and set my brake bias (or whatever) to rear. I initiate drifts with the brakes, so tuning them to...

Re: Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, how do you feel about it?
The best I've done on the Tour is around 13:30, 30 seconds shy of 1st on Autolog. The best cars IMO, are the slowest and lightest ones. They have better handling, which can help in the long run, especially when dodging traffic. When a racer is targeted by a cop's EMP, the racer will almost always ja...

Re: How do you add custom songs?
I've figured out how to do it for consoles. You need to create a custom playlist. Now I don't know how to do this for PS3, but for Xbox there's only one way to do it. Burn songs to a CD then rip them to your Xbox (yeah, they don't have any other options). I was a little disappointed with the soundtr...

How do you add custom songs?
As far as I know, you can add your own songs to the game. However, in the options, I am unable to choose between soundtrack and my own, even though I have song songs already saved on my Xbox.
