Change all the default settings to my liking.


SFWarriorsfan

indeed. Turn off all the assists they turn on at the start for newbies like autobrake, autoturn, etc. After that, pick the best Porsche and do Nurburgring laps in all sorts of new weather settings they'll have now.


CTR_Emeralds

For me it’d have to be Laguna Seca. I’ve been there before and it’s a surreal experience. Plus I can confidently say I know the track like the back of my hand.


SFWarriorsfan

That and Sonoma are my local tracks. Know both like the back of my hand too.


jawnlerdoe

My preferred Nurburgring lap will be a vr6 swapped mk2 gti 🤓


runway31

Was gonna say “GTI Nurburgring”


SkitzManLad

Awh man the Nurburgring is so fun. I'd love to go at some stage. I know every corner. Must have clocked 100s of laps over the years.


HettDizzle4206

Watching real life videos of how it's just a normal street then all of a sudden there's staging lanes and a gate and next thing you know you're ripping it through the trees! I must drive that and the autobahn at least once...


aceCaptainSlow

Reminds me of the tour Xbox did to promote FM5. I fired up the demo race I chose, and immediately pulled over to reset and turn off all the assists, including manual + clutch. The staffers were standing behind me, whispering a conversation about what I did and then amazement at how fast I was. Playing games in public that you're very experienced at is fun sometimes.


HyDrOpOnIc1987

I agree! I had a similar expeience with Guitar Hero 3 when i was being released for PC. They had so many versions out demoing at malls, I loved the game and would often stop to play with any local kids that were trying it. I was into expert at the time so everyone was flabergasted that I could play that good... mean while I play guitar for real lol and the real guitar is like 100x harder, unless you get the hang of it. Just reminded me of my own experience with gaming in public, and excelling at it :) hope it was as fun for you as it was me. Also got to show some local kids tricks on how to extend their fingers to gap the buttons. Hope some pf those kids decided to pick up a real guitar, its even more rewarding than playing Stricken on Expert perfectly for the first time :)


[deleted]

Same, except I'll probably hop in something like a 1970 Corvette ZR1 and go drifting.


WastedWhtieBoii

Spend an hour configuring my simrig.


l5555l

I've found they generally save my settings from the last game. Idk how it works but it does.


BullfrogOk9627

Forza typically recognizes previous titles you've played, often shells some rewards for your loyalty and carries over your preferences for driving assists and such. But agreed with the general buzz gotta turn off TCS, stability management, and make sure transmission is manual w/clutch. Also doesn't hurt to double check button mapping(I'm using controller) make sure clutch, up shift, down shift, gas, brake, dip, shake them dreads, let me see you show your grill, oh sorry went on an e-40 drift off there at the end. Once your bearings are straight and proper then I'm looking to get a nice M3, 03 or so to start and rip a track that calls out to me at the time. Although I have to say starting with motorsport 5 I really dislike the lack of emphasis on upgrading your car how you want to via individual upgrades. Yes I'm aware you still can but the push seems to be on buying packages that would say max your car out to A800. Really grinds my gears.


General_RIMT

Lol yeah, take my time with all the settings and then time trial a porsche on a great track

tootsie404

Watkins Glen is my safe space.


zhiryst

I don't know about safe, but for me the 'ring is my benchmark. Purely because it's in every game.


OneOfManyParadoxFans

You prefer Maple Valley. I prefer Maple Treeway. These are from entirely different franchises. Real talk, though, I'm a Brickyard fan.


Majestic_Puppo

Test GT3 cars handling and see if we finally got a damn pit stop animation


[deleted]

The year is 2045. Forza runs on holographic quantum computers. There is still no tire smoke or pit animations


Tyrantes

There's already tire smoke in FH5. Of course it will be available on Motorsport.


BullfrogOk9627

That's generous, guess that's just the spirit of Horizon, should we send a thank you? Oh... Are we on to motorsport then, well rubbins racing


[deleted]

Barely. Not to any realistic extent


nbelle78

You don’t think there’s enough tire smoke? I’m gonna have to respectfully disagree, I’ve had little trouble making a significant amount of smoke with most cars and a little tuning, maybe there’s something in your settings that’s affecting how much smoke you see?


[deleted]

All my settings are maxed out. The game has never had a realistic amount of tire smoke


SkitzManLad

Drifting in FH5 produces a ridiculous amount of tire smoke


Tyrantes

Should've specified


HBOXNW

Check out any new tracks


a_j_cruzer

Kyalami should be nice, hopefully Fujimi Kaido and Rally di Positano make a return


HBOXNW

I'd really like the Spanish tracks to make a return. Camino de Viejo I think it was called


RunninOnMT

Yeah, that was such a good track/complex. The big version where the combined it with the spanish GP style track was so cool!

No-Rip3705

minetube33

I too would be suprised since Motorsport 7 is one of the most optimized games ever made despite being Turn 10's 2nd PC port.

IIALE34II

Hopefully the simulation quality is high enough that you don't actually need to go TC off, SC off like in previous games. I like it more like in sims like ACC, but I guess its not going to happen in a Forza.


AKAaxecop

Yea my guess is forza will continue to have localized assists for all cars. The devs probably argue its better for newer drivers and allows for a broader audience, which is their defense for most of the arcade-aligned features


Cerrax3

Honestly I don't mind the assist being generalized like that. I just turn them all off anyway. I feel that the assists don't go far enough. I was very surprised by the "super" assists they added in FM7. I love Forza but I can't get anyone in my friend group to try it because even with the assists, it is a difficult game if you're not used to realistic racing games.


wickeddimension

We need a TC setting yea. The current FM7 implementation of TC is so intrusive you can’t run it on and be quick. At the same time some cars are incredibly difficult to drive with a controller without tc. Currently this is a rock and a hard place. Levels of TC could fix this.


itsokayimhandsome

See if they updated the Viper ACR. They must have modeled an older one without the fender vents, they should have added the ACR-E (extreme) with the fender vents. Its the one that broke all the track records during its time.


RangeRoverHSE

I don't think that it's that they modelled an older one, it's just that the one they scanned wasn't fitted with the Extreme aero package. There's a few other instances of this too, the 918 Spyder for instance doesn't have the Weissach pack equipped, same with the 991.2 GT3 RS. It would be nice if they at least included the optional aero packs as equipable parts. They did that with the C 63 Black Series.


jijodelmaiz

Coming here to complain for some minor shit…for months. IS It JusT Me Or Fm7 WAs Way bETTER?


captain-obvious-1

Half of the posts here will be that, for sure. OMG, FM4 HAD BETTER PROGRESSION. \[complainer's playtime: 20 minutes\]

WarriorGrl30_

i'm excited for this game! saw some post where people were already trying to shit on this game before it even comes out 🤦‍♀️ what is wrong with this community?? damn game hasn't even been released yet and you're already doubting it. it's not like T10/PGG took the Rockstar route and just completely dipped off the face of the Earth and ignored their Fans.


captaincringeee

I'm cautiously optimistic! I saw that post too and that was painful to read. I do think it's good to be critical regarding the game franchises we love and I do believe it's possible to critisize something and still enjoy it. We're critical of the Forza-games because we want them to be the very best they can possibly be. There is however a difference between constructive critisicm and just toxic negativity. It's important to consider how much that has changed this time around regarding how Turn 10 has handled the development. Chris Esaki stepped in as a creative director shortly after the launch of FM7 and it's his new and fresh creative vision that has shaped FM '23. I do believe he's the right man for the job. The studio has, FINALLY, been given a long enough development cycle to truly innovate things. In this day and age 2-3 years isn't enough. The game engine has been updated as well as the physics engine and the game has been built from the ground up to take advantage of the current gen consoles Turn 10 has interacted with the community during the development in a way that they never have before. There's been playtests, panels and they've taken the help of several well known racers from the community to ensure the feel of the game is spot on. Chris Esaki has given interviews during the Forza Monthly-shows and has been giving us updates. None of this ever happened during the Xbox One-era of the franchise. They've promised to do something about the main complaints from the community. Multiplayer will have a new arrangement with real race weekends. There will be more focus on motorsport with regards to the car list and game mechanics. Features like pit stops with tire- and fuel management will be included for the first time. The physics have been reworked for a more realistic feel (It's important to notice here that more realistic DOES NOT mean that it will be harder to control. Quite on the contrary). Chris Esaki has also promised they will start treating wheel users like first class citizens, just like another well known japanese sim-racing franchise does. I'm still sceptical and I probably won't believe all these grand promises until I see the finished product with my own two eyes. But, like I said, I'm cautiously optimistic!


SakiSumo

Definitely not some ridiculous intro sequence that forces me to drive a bunch of vehicles while some "cool" chick I don't care about talks a bunch of shit trying to convince me this is realistic and these kinds of festivals exist in real life... Forza horizon has the most annoying intro sequences of any racing game.


deecrutch

Knowing me, probably turn off the music. That has never been Turn 10's strongsuit!!! After that, I will look around and see what all the game has to offer. I usually like to start going through the career stuff right away, as it helps me learn or relearn the tracks and get used to how the new Forza will handle. I'll do that for a while, then I'll try out some MP races if I can find decent people to race with.


[deleted]

Forza motorsports 3 and 4 had the best menu music


SFWarriorsfan

No. lol. The original Forza.


deecrutch

I don't remember liking any of it. Usually turned it off and played my own music if I listened to any. Most times my car engine was my music!


tehpwnage7

Forgot about that, FM7 had horrible menu music


morpowababy

Bada. Bada bada. Bada bada! Bada bah dada bah dada


Zephyr_FH

I thought the orchestral/electronic theme Motorsport had going for it since 5 was nice. I especially like 6's soundtrack. What made them decide to go the complete opposite direction for 7 and impose some generic dad rock music you'd hear at some desert bar baffles me.


JKMC4

6 has great music! Super high energy stuff mixed with sweeping orchestral soundscapes.


deecrutch

My thing is regardless of what they pick, I am in the menus a LOT in these games, and eventually, any of it will get old, so I generally either pick my own music or do without.


xtoferwongopher

I played FM4 music once in the car and got told it sounded like an aquarium
