I have only just found if you hit up on the d pad it brings up a big watsit thing with g meter and tire stuff.

Nipper · May 11, 2007

I also found out that you need traction in the Zonder R class car, span it on the start grid.

this made me laugh hard LOL LOL LOL doesnt describe how much

Throttle Control is required for a quick start :p

no throttle control off the line = spinning

Traction Control = *YAWN* the car never does anything surprising, and is somewhat a bore

im looking into a wheel now, but doubt i will get one, simply cos i HATE wheels that dont offer Shifter (as in an actual stick) of any kind, and it doesnt even have 900 degree rotation, so once again, why?

leave the hardcore sims that need wheels for the PC (as long as you have a strong enough PC to play them on lol)

Pherelas · May 11, 2007

I don't really care about it being realistic with the wheel or not. Its really good fun, the wheel is great and for what I want it does its job.

As for spinning. It was my first go on the demo, I got stright in the Zonda and got it a bit wrong. Ok i'm useless with the R2 cars but I don't really care. I'm still getting use to it, better n this than TDU I have to say, though that dosn't say much.

Traction control has its purpose. When a car has traction control I see no harm in useing it and if i'm racing i'll use it. Drifting in my opioion is stupid, if you gunna go round a corner, go round it, don't make such a meal of it. Sorry drifters.

I agree with you, And it slows you down. I race karts and drifting just slows you down so others overtake you easily.

FA430RGT · May 11, 2007

Very interesting.. Pretty late right now and I'm exhausted so I only played for about 10 minutes.. All I can currently remember is that there is one song there I really really like!

SupermAnthony · May 11, 2007

Would that be The Prodigy song?

Nipper · May 11, 2007

Drifting is only slow if you do it wrong :p

Drifting (if done right) can be the same speed (or faster depending on corner) than if you were to grip

Eudemon · May 12, 2007

Grab a 997 Turbo, do a 180 and head upto the top of the straight, park up turn your speakers up and listen to the Gallardo, F430 and SLR come by, in the Gallardo's case you can hear it round the whole track.

Oh and the crashes sound soo good, the bar has been raced for engine, tire, crash sounds in games now and it is set up very high indeed.

Oh here's some crash/damage pics to make you smile

PS Racing a circuit correctly will always be faster than drifting, it's been proven, the only place drifting can be faster is a 180 or 90 degree, also there is no such thing as gripping, only drifters seem to say that for some reason. The fastest way through a corner is to go as straight as possible as this means speed, being at an angle and shredding your tires does not benefit you in a normal race.

wrong? show drift is slow, but race drift is almost as fast as racing, and often its faster.

Hamann M6 · May 12, 2007

i had an amazing run in the zo6 today, let everyone go ahead of me and then just gave proper drifting a go!!!!! so much fun, best car for drifting ive used yet, especialy on the 2 and 3 corners!!!!!! is this the end for test drive????? i think so......lol

Drifting is making a meal of the corner? Oh dear... :wtf:

The Driver · May 12, 2007

I played the demo at a friends house, and the physics and feeling of the cars is great, but the graffics really lack in quality, those graffics must be improved...But the driving is pretty accurate...

For me the graphics are spot on, and this game will be at it's ultimate online and that is a fact. Forza2 will be absolutely at it's peak when online tournaments and challenges kick off, that's without the callouts and friends challenges.

Forza2 will become the standard for 360 racers on Live......that you can bet your last quid on. :excited:

craigie · May 12, 2007

the graphics run a bit slow (with the blotchyness) just because it is a demo on the marketplace. You have to remember it has been conpressed ALOT so the full game should be smoother

Eudemon · May 12, 2007

I find it strange that only the environment is reflected and not the other cars, seems a bit weird especially when you watch racing a lot and see this all the time. Also the replay cameras still are as awful as ever and are final though other tracks should hopefully be better.

FA430RGT · May 12, 2007

Would that be The Prodigy song?

Maybe.. Got a name for it? As for reflections I think it's just to do with cutting size of Demo I mean how much extra space would that be?

Edit--

I found it!!

Its called spitfire

wrong? show drift is slow, but race drift is almost as fast as racing, and often its faster.

Maximum speed is obtained through apex-controlled turning and drifting includes loss of traction which subsequently reduces acceleration, deceleration and braking power making it a lot less effective and thus slower.

Fastest way through a turn, as Diablo already said, is enter on the line, deceleration, apex, acceleration, exit on the line.

The point where tires squeal is the point where you stop having complete grip on the tarmac and where you start loosing speed.

Which is why professional racecar drivers rarely let their tires squeal.

The only exception is of course; Off-road rally.

Agreed.. When was the last time you saw F1 cars (ok bad example) drifting through corners? I'll admit it's much more fun watching drifting cars than any other..

FA430RGT · May 13, 2007

Here is two of my pics.. Also working on a quick video too..

Edit---

Not anymore.. Can't seem to get Windows Movie Maker to work.. Suggestions for any other good Movie editing program?

Cheers..

Eudemon · May 13, 2007

Why won't Movie Maker work for you? A good program is Sony Vegas Studio but there are freeware programs also, I just don't know any !

Pherelas · May 13, 2007

F430 sounds the best. Really got into this now, and love trying to beat my times. When it came out one of the first things I did was sit in that little alcove and listen.

Hamann M6 · May 13, 2007

when i had my pc, my windows movie maker developed problems, nothing would import to the movie maker, then i brought a mac and now using final cut HD 4.5 and all my editing troubles have now gone away!!!

Hamann M6 · May 13, 2007

f430 does sound amazing, and im happy that they got the SLR mclaren to sound like it should, just cant wait for the porsche carrera GT, thats gonna sound AMAZING!!!!

I don't really know about the Carrera GT. When your in it you can't really hear the engine, just wind noise. The SLR does sound great but it does in real life.
