I started braking too late and it was either rear-end you or try to go off the track without hitting anyone else. I tried to go off the track but ended up hitting Commanche69 instead. In retrospect I should have just tried to keep braking on the inside line. I would have cut you off but it wouldn't have severely damaged any cars... You did a quite respectable mid to high 1:29.xxx, if I recall correctly, as your best lap time. My best lap was 1:28.7xx and I managed to lap SPEEDCORE. Okay. How's that work anyway?
Haha! My pleasure. Don't worry about the manual thing. It's fun, don't change the restrictions just for me because I'm a Forza wimp. For the majority of the race, I recall being 3 or 4 seconds behind you. At one point, I was 1.8 seconds behind you. Then I spun out. Well, if it was my fault for glitching then I apologize. I don't really know what to do to troubleshoot it. I don't play Forza on live that much. I think I played a total of 3 times when I was still on Forza 2. How did you manage to get pictures? Wow. I was so concentrated on shifting I wasn't even watching my times.
You have to wait until everyone finished a race and then save the replay and then go back and take pictures then. I'll have to get online later, I forgot the upload my pics to Live so I can't get them off the site now.
Yeap being 12000km away does that That's why I said I'd be reserve driver, still it's playable and when I wasn't in the wall it was fun I have it on video. Will upload later AHHHHH. I blame lag..... hahahaha. Can you gift me the replay of the 1st race, I was going to click save but it changed to the next screen too quick. The uploading pics is so annoying, esp deleting current pics to add more.
Making a movie is annoying you can't see what is being recorded till after you have uploaded the file. You just have to guess the time. I slowed it down to 40%. Looks like I took that corner wrong and was under-steering off so had you not come in so hot you would of passed me anyway http://www.coresworld.net/Forza3/kiss.wmv 5mb
I look behind me and just see this huge collision, just missed it. I'll send you that replay next time I'm on.
Haha, riiiiight.. This was certainly not one of my better Forza moments... Yeah, I really hate the way the movie making works in Forza 3. Plus, why does it have to make a .wmv?! That's so annoying; I couldn't get it to play on my Linux server (even with the proper packages) or my Mac (even though it has Windows Media Player!), and finally had to go to my Windows XP box which didn't work until I downloaded some codec... I don't have any speakers hooked up to my XP box, but oh well.
Ok here is the play by play for the first 2 laps of the race. I really can't drive on cold tyres Image Unavailable, Please Login 1st corner #18 had the lead and #69 was 2nd but was taking the corner slower so I went on the inside not to hit him and I guess I was actually going too quick as I under-steered into him, you can see i'm on 2 wheels. Image Unavailable, Please Login He then proceeds to hit #023 who spins out, I take 2nd. Image Unavailable, Please Login I decide to take the long way around the corner and funny enough took the lead for a short period of time Image Unavailable, Please Login By the end of the 1st lap I stuffed up the last corner and #69 took advantage of this and returned the tap, which made me tap the wall Image Unavailable, Please Login Still struggling for grip #023 tries to pass me on the inside but I'm able to keep the place. <<<<Watch video for accident>>>> Image Unavailable, Please Login After the accident we are all in the grass, #69 and #023 both damaged and both end up pitting at the end of the lap. We all pretty much lapped around the same pace so that's how the race ended
If you want, I'd be happy to make one for you. I've been dying to replicate this paint job. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Can we make this two days of the week? Because Saturdays won't work for me for the next three weeks Maybe Thursdays and Saturdays? Oh and I made myself a nice Gulf paintjob for the series
You popped out of nowhere at that point, not expecting that. Still need to get my pictures up, I keep forgetting to upload them. We can do a race thursday but I can't afford to sponsor. I'm working that night but should be off by 10pm (EST). This is what I based my car off but I really need to start running my Tommy Hilfiger car again. Image Unavailable, Please Login
yeah you arent going to get hit by me unless something else is going on. ill let you go and figure some other way around before i do that. remember nobody can see to their sides. im usually using the in car or hood view. so i know i cant. so call inside outside other persons car number. that usually helps and maybe the other guy will give you alittle more room if he knows youre there and has the room to give. if a big wreck like that happens we should probably all stop on the next straight following pit out and wait for everyone to gather back up and restart from there.
I usually try to watch the distance meter thing in the top left of the screen to determine if someone is right next to me. Sorry about ramming you.
I always race on the hood when I'm online as opposed to interior, because you get the full rearview mirror. Making sure you are aware of your surroundings is a must if you don't want to start pissing people off. The right thumbstick controls the view, so you can always check your sides before making any sudden moves. As for the stopping after a wreck, I'm going to have to disagree with you. This is a racing series, and I hope that's what we plan on doing. Sure, if someone gets messed up to the point that they can only go 10mph, maybe we'll "red flag" the race and let them pit and then restart from our original positions. I just don't want to keep starting and stopping if people keep crashing. As they say "Speed sets the pace, but consistency wins the race"
