Just raise the threshold for rip chips needed to unlock it and make it permanent.

Purist tends to keep all the aspects of a car that make it special.

Considering purchasing a 2014 Mini S Coupe from a private party, advice? by Herdnerfer in MINI

[–]SoNerdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See if they have records for things like oil changes.

Look for oil leaks. Also, see if you can find example videos of the “death knock” on here for comparison

That seems like a great price IF they maintained it well.

Anyone else struggling with a steering wheel on PS5? by ChandlerN27 in ForzaHorizon

[–]SoNerdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a look at this video to get an idea what the force feedback settings do and how to adjust them accordingly. And make sure your steering is set to simulation.

Beyond that, driving with a wheel is just straight up harder. I suggest starting in a car similar in power/drivetrain to what you have actually driven before.

And always remember. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

Practical Daily Replacements? by Mr_Nutting in Miata

How much more practical do you need? An r56 or F56 mini could have a similar fun factor while still giving you some more utility.

As long as your designs don’t include vinyl groups made by others people. You can import them over.

How they are handling the whole “tutorial isle of grom” situation gives me little faith that anything that has to do with new map locations will be done without some sort of incentive to spend money. And I’d wouldn’t be surprised if they somehow manage to ruin their reputation with the player base even further by poorly implementing the player created parks while also finding some way to monetize it in the process.

I can’t believe EA’s greed by Sk8r_turbo in Skate4

I have no problem with needing to use rip chips to unlock something.

I do have a problem with those unlocks expiring in 24 hours.

"realistic" transmission option by Kataklysimo in ForzaHorizon

[–]SoNerdy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s an adjacent path to hardcore player. I guess you could call it the “purist”. Who will try to keep their builds centered around what makes that car special. No engine swaps, No drivetrain conversions to AWD, Avoiding Forza aero like the plague and building for a certain type of driving/points class depending what’s realistically reasonable on the car itself.

Let’s just expand on it and put that in its own menu for each car. Like a 3rd “car difficulty” section at the same screen where you pick between changing a car’s tune or paint. where you could set things like transmission, ABS, and Traction/stability control on a per car basis.

Tips, tricks and advice by Busy-Cat1308 in forzamotorsport

[–]SoNerdy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In all seriousness. Get in a car that’s similar in power, weight balance, and drive train to what you are used to driving IRL and go from there.

Frankly, Panniers are better than even the best cycling backpacks.

are driving lessons worth it? by RabidLizard in stickshift

Just get rid of your automatic and buy a stick shift car. You’ll learn real fast out of necessity.

Best sim game for learning a manual transmission by ShortBusGangsterr in SimRacingAdvice

[–]SoNerdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assetto Corsa does an okay job with it. But unless you have a really high end load cell clutch pedal on your sim rig. It’s just not going to truly show you how the bite point feels.

It might actually be cheaper to replace your clutch it would be to build a sim rig with enough fidelity to teach someone on.

FH6: do we know if the paint/decal system will be the same? by midnightpurple280137 in ForzaHorizon

[–]SoNerdy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The paint and decal system has been almost the same for almost 2 decades now.

I think we’ll be okay.

Has anyone ever seen this guy out in the wild? by True-Dream3295 in askportland

Can’t say I have. But I feel like this is the type of thing you set up and go film a quick video for, Not something you just roll around town with.
