Forza 4

Well, it's a bit unrealistic if the back end is all over the place at 40mph on race tyres with controlled acceleration. I can't imagine a car in the real world would be like that.

It doesn't do it with all the cars however, just a few (the SLS is a bit of a pig at times)

Are you using a pad or wheel? i don't find that the case at all, and although not flawless i feel the physics and therefore handling are pretty much the best I've experience on any console driving game/sim... and I've played pretty much all of them.

Using a pad currently, I'm eyeing up the Ferrari 458 steering wheel Thrustmaster are making to see if the experience is any different. Can't help but feel I'd go back to a pad though.

I would personally only get a wheel if it had force feedback.

quick question - I got the collectors edition of this when it came out and I got a download for the 'top gear football course' how do I access this as I cant seem to find it?

The wait for the CSR Elite is killing me... glad I got my pre-order in, it just seems to be making time go slower!

I think it's multiplayer only.

Completely forgot to check it had force feedback, swerve that then.

Small patch today, which apparently fixes the steering wheel counter-steer bug.

erm the car pack is out, i can download if i buy i credits however if ive got the season pass theres nothing there ..

Anyone help me ?

Grumps82 · 6 Dec 2011 at 22:13

Download the VW Sirocco. It is free and then it unlocks the rest of the cars in game. Thats what i did anyway.

Demon · 6 Dec 2011 at 22:28

I have the season pass and just went to the in game marketplace (right most option on the main screen) and the selected the December car pack, as Cobra says, click on the Scirocco and it says its free.

The Suzuki Monster is a right laugh!

Code for the IGN car pack if anyone would like it. I don't have the game so it's useless to me

Darryn · 7 Dec 2011 at 01:08

Thats very generous, I've already got the December pack as part of the season pass, so won't be using the code obviously, but thanks for offering it.

Just logged in to receive a free "1965 Shelby 427 S/C" from Turn10 anyone know why?

it's a VIP gift, the choice was the cobra or gt40, the cobra got more votes on facebook so got sent to VIP's.

Guys - I'm running Forza 4 at 1080p on an LG 32LH3000 LCD TV, whilst autovista looks incredible , on track the jaggies / anti-ailiasing is terrible - very noticeable and not very nice to look at.

Anyone else have this problem - should I try knocking the Xbox down to 720p to cure it ?

Sit further away or use a VGA cable to smooth it over.

That's because the game actually runs at 720p, even if the Xbox is set to 1080p, it upscales. Autovista doesnt have much going on, so I imagine it uses antialiasing.

It's annoying compared to GT5, but IMO forza is a better game and that makes up for it.

yeah, its a great game alright, the engine sounds alone are a massive improvement. I'm going to try outputting at 720p to see if it improves things

cheers
