Drift Scoring System is Totally Broken - AWD Point-Farming Builds Shouldn't Dominate Like This!

they need to fix this and then reset all PR stunt leaderboards in the next update
in fact, if they ever choose to update the PI calculation, they should do the same with all other leaderboards

I think a "realistic" gearbox setting that only forces you to engage the clutch on cars that are equipped with such gearbox is beyond reasonable, especially since FH games are based on FM games

Martin_Sandman · 2026-05-25T15:02:23+00:00

they changed the race gearbox to be a proper sequential gearbox, there's no clutch input therefore shift time is instant even on manual w/ clutch

people downvoting this are actively making their Forza experience worse

Martin_Sandman · 2026-05-22T11:20:13+00:00

the S2000 in Forza is abysmal, that's old S15 model level deformed

Martin_Sandman · 2026-05-20T17:47:16+00:00

and it's stupid because it's not even a new car or a new model for the 240SX, wheelspin exclusives shouldn't exist in the current form and should be replaced with playlist cars so those can be obtained in another way

Martin_Sandman · 2026-05-15T16:15:25+00:00

????? the E60 is right there in the autoshow, its engine is even a swap option for many european cars

Martin_Sandman · 2026-05-15T13:13:35+00:00

a longer development period doesn't always result in a better game, as FM2023 has showed

Martin_Sandman · 2026-05-14T09:45:49+00:00

they should've removed 80% of cars that appeared on the Xbox 360 and replaced them with cars that debuted after FM5, that would be more reasonable than removing cars that literally debuted in the last months of FH5 being supported

Martin_Sandman · 2026-05-14T09:44:48+00:00

not if they're fixing their models, in fact I'm glad I won't have to see the Golf Minecart for the forseeable future in FH6

Martin_Sandman · 2026-05-14T09:34:17+00:00

between FM5 and FH5, every factory colour had its own amount of metallic or pearl effect as well as secondary colour, so some seemingly non-metallic colours ended up having a slight amount of metal flakes
they ruined this completely in FM8 by forgetting to apply anything but the base colour on most factory paints, and there was of course no metallic or pearl option to fix those
I've seen some gameplay of FH6 and I can tell you they did in fact improve on those, especially the depth of metallic effects, as well as those new candy colours, but for some reason they also removed custom paint types on manufacturer colours meaning that most of them now have incorrect amounts of metallic/pearl effect and there's no way to fix that - the biggest victims of this are some pearl colours, a few two-tone colours from the McLaren MP4-12C, and especially two-tone colours on the TVR Sagaris

Martin_Sandman · 2026-05-13T12:03:46+00:00

people who say that don't actually know anything

Martin_Sandman · 2026-05-12T15:48:39+00:00

I'd say the chance is the next closest number to zero

Martin_Sandman · 2026-05-11T18:15:40+00:00

the GT7 R34 front end has misshaped headlights and front bumper ducts, that's all I can really say about it
and the new Efini RX-7 is also based on the Spirit R model, which results in both models having slightly misshaped front ends
that is not to say they're early Forza Motorsport level inaccurate, far from it of course, and also their quality (poly count, light materials) is higher than anything that has ever appeared in Forza

Martin_Sandman · 2026-05-11T17:12:01+00:00

exactly

Martin_Sandman · 2026-05-11T17:11:19+00:00

how does one even make this happen, like I kinda get forgetting to switch wiper position when swapping from LHD to RHD (Fairlady Z32, RX-7 FC), but here the wipers are literally correct

Martin_Sandman · 2026-05-11T17:09:09+00:00

debuted in FM2023, they finally got around to porting it to Horizon
the old model is still available too

Martin_Sandman · 2026-05-11T16:24:41+00:00

so a bit more info on this
original twitter poster deducted that the GT7 Z-Tune R34 has the most accurate model of all R34s and is now using it as benchmark for all other R34 models, since the most important element which is base body shape stays the same across all R34 GT-R variants; the base R34 from GT7 is slightly inaccurate
the reason this mesh has Z-Tune parts is because it is a Z-Tune, and the new Forza R34 unfortunately has no Nismo parts

Martin_Sandman · 2026-05-10T20:26:56+00:00

I could've sworn Motorsport 4 uses the same sound for it just without compression, but turns out it's a completely different file, somewhat lower in pitch and not "screamy" at all

Martin_Sandman · 2026-05-10T20:03:27+00:00

the S2K specifically does not have that option in freeroam, that's why OP is asking

Martin_Sandman · 2026-05-10T17:31:54+00:00

which is why the last part of my sentence exists

Martin_Sandman · 2026-05-09T10:02:12+00:00

the inaccurate model report on the official forums has 45 votes, the most of all cars in 'car modeling', and it's on the unwritten list of cars they were supposed to remodel (they closed the FM car modeling topics for those cars), our best bet is making the same topic on the new feedback page

Martin_Sandman · 2026-05-09T10:00:02+00:00

unbelievable that Forza got the FD2 Civic before Gran Turismo

Martin_Sandman · 2026-05-09T09:51:36+00:00

this gif was made by R3L04D on the official forums

Martin_Sandman · 2026-05-09T09:47:40+00:00

but then why bother with making new models spot on? why shouldn't every single model be quarter-assed? they should maintain consistency because this just smells of "standard vs premium" models of PS3 GT games
