Sarnie Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I've been chasing McGoo around for days and struggling to get near 2:12, how can you get around 5 seconds quicker without fettling with the car?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same way Vettle was 1 second a lap faster than Webber every race? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pallett Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 With the stock Z i found you just need to be really subtle with the accelerator as it loves to oversteer through the sweeping corners but its actually well suited to that track.

Sam Mcgoo Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Alps Festival - Stock 350z (C439) - clean laps only Sam McGoo - 02:12.458 Pallett - 2:07.720 Sweet Jesus Pallett!

With the stock Z i found you just need to be really subtle with the accelerator as it loves to oversteer through the sweeping corners but its actually well suited to that track. That is seriously quick considering we're using the same car! I was by no means doing perfect laps, but didn't think there would be THAT much to time to give. I really enjoyed it though and suspect that I'm spending too much time sideways round some of the faster sweeping bends. It's so addictive though. So has anyone figured out a way to see each others times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 You can in a way, if you challenge them as a Rival, however if they've done that track in a faster car then it'll show that instead sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pallett Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Im pretty sure i have done that track in a faster car, sure i was chasing a sub 2 minute lap, obviously not in the zed. Best bets i guess would be a quick snap on your phone of the time. Not sure if it shows the PI of the car your in though or just make/model.

Sam Mcgoo Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Yeah, the reason my time is displayed in the Zed is because that's the only car I've done that track in. As Dan says if you've done it faster in any other car, that's the time it will display. When you select finish race it displays your current best lap, your car, PI etc and your rivals. you could say 'Xbox record' and it will record 15 secs of that screen with your time displayed among your clips. Its a shame you cant filter times by car, that would be very handy. Anyway...... just had a 'few ' more laps and I'm getting there... Alps Festival - Stock 350z (C439) - clean laps only Pallett - 2:07.720 Sam McGoo - 02:08.797 Come on get ya times up.....Will, Liam, Dan etc......Oh sorry Dan you can't can ya.

Ekona Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 My wheel is here, and it now works! My Xbone still isn't though so I still can't play on the damn thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Will be worth it when it is finally sorted. Why are they repairing and not giving you a new one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Xbone? They are sending me a new one, well allegedly anyway: I had a half hour web chat with an MS rep last night, who basically admitted their system was crap as if you pay for the Advanced Shipping option (pre-auth of a credit card for £390 in case you don't send the other Xbone back), their web page cannot update itself with an order status. A bit crap really, as I think I've been stuck in the system somewhat, but just one of those things really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Xbone still isn't though so I still can't play on the damn thing How do you know it works if you ain't got an Xbone? does it work on the 360?

Ekona Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Nah, I tested it on the PC. Had to update the firmware too while I was there, but at least I know that the other unit was DOA. I suspect that was what killed the Xbone, tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gudzy Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I've just picked up an Xbox one with Forza 5 today. My gamer tag is Gudzy, feel free to add me. My best time so far in a stock 350z on the Alps festival circuit is 2:07:018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'm back bitches This wheel is f*cking amazing, even with the cheaper pedals as the three-pedal set isn't available yet. So much feedback it makes your arms ache, but it never feels excessive. The F1 car is just crazy with this setup, way more mental that with just a pad! Mega bucks, but mega brilliant.
