ATTN: Friend Requests

HebbNH — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 01:49:11 GMT

I've sent out friend requests to everyone who is signed up for a series here. Please accept as my communications are set to friends only (because I can't stand listening to random people online), and this will serve as a backup in case I forget to change my comm. settings back before a race. Nick, apparently your list is full. Any chance you can make room for a crappy driver like me?

Series Driver Restrictions

Major Pile — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 06:47:11 GMT

Due to fact I cannot, nor do I wish to, regulate the speech of our members during our series races, the minimum age required for participation in our series races is 16.

However, there is no age restriction for participation in these forums and everyone is encouraged to participate.

Miata Spec Series forum

HebbNH — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 20:33:14 GMT

Is there any reason to keep that forum around since the series has been over for a while? Could we create an archive forum and move the miata series stuff into that? I think it'd be kinda cool to have a "History of Forza Spec" type of thing where new racers could catch up on stuff that's happened here. Plus the front page wouldn't be cluttered up with old forums that aren't posted in any more. What do you guys think? Is something like that even possible, Major?

What are we looking for and hoping for in Forza 3

Major Pile — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 06:02:09 GMT

This is always all over the fm.net forums and I was curious to see what you guys were hoping to see or what you guys think needed to be changed.

I have an elaborate list below, but mostly I want more tracks and better control and more options over online races so I can set up leagues.

Here is my ever-growing wish list:

1. More Tracks

2. Ability to set grid order in Lobby, or a lobby option to hold a qualifying session first.

3. Allow any number of laps, don't ...

Track Design

Major Pile — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 06:40:29 GMT

I first heard about Google Sketch-up on another racing site, and I thought it would be a cool tool to use to design tracks. I'm obiously terrible at using the program, but I got my idea down from my head to a 3d object.

Anyways, I thought it would be great, if, instead of test tracks, Forza had a competition for a gamer to design a racetrack for the game.

My idea for this track is a lot of elevation changes and a lot of light to moderately banked corners to allow for outside cars ...

An attempt at mesh...

Nick14s6ix — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 05:14:40 GMT

This is based on the same idea as K's carbon. You cant see in the pic, but in the game it looks like glistening woven metal. K showed me a FM.net post that explained this, so I figured I'd share it w/ you. For carbon, paint the car or the hood "special silver# 2" (if you scroll down the special colors you'll come to a group that is white to black, black to silver, etc.; it's the second one in that group I think). Get a black square and cover the part you want to be carbon, make ...

Good Explanation of Damping and Rebound

Major Pile — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 07:18:28 GMT

Pretty good visualization for Damping and Rebound - now if i could only relate that to tuning my car.....

"Dampers quite simply dampen spring movement to prevent oscillations. If you had a car with springs but no dampers, you could push down on the bumper and the car would bounce up and down repeatedly.

Jumping on a trampoline is a good analogy. The trampoline is a spring, and your legs are the damper. Lock your legs (no damping) and you'll bounce a long time. When you want ...

Rear Diff settings and using the Friction Telemetry

Major Pile — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 06:51:28 GMT

I'm just flat out stealing advice and posting it here, probably more for my own reference but here goes - For a RWD car:

"If the diff accel setting is high, the diff tries to lock the two wheels in at the same rotational speed. The outside wheel has the most weight on it and so has the most traction. It is also travelling in a wider arc and so, is rotating faster than the inside wheel has to. The inside wheel is forced to try and rotate at the same fast speed as the outside wheel and ...

You put your left Toe In you put your left Toe Out........

Major Pile — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 06:27:13 GMT

I found this on fm.net and thought i'd share it here, helps a little bit in understanding how toe works as related to a RWD car:

".....In the rear world this is true, in Forza this not. In the real world negative toe does help to make turning easier and positive toe stabilizes or 'discourages' turning. However in FORZA, this was modelled backwards. Moving your tuning sliders to +0.2 actually adds negative toe and improves turning and a slider at -0.2 adds positive toe and inhibits ...

Forza Spec Racing Championship FAQs

Major Pile — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 04:47:37 GMT

What is a SPEC race? A race in which all the cars are built to a certain specification. These series are designed to be low cost with a focus on driving skill and tuning abilities.

Are there any requirements to join the series? Nope, all are free to sign up and join.

Why is there a mandatory pit stop for each race? No other reason than to throw an additional factor into the race, the pits are there for this game, but the feature is hardly used. This will allow for an additional strategy ...

If there aren't enough people for the Miata race i guess we'll just skip it, I'll let you make the call as to whether or not to run it and for how many laps.

This car is a pain to tune, but get it right and it's very nice....It runs a 1.51.8 (could do better) on Mugello, and has beaten a few other F355 times I had.

Boogie is nice with these sleeper cars.
