New user here, big time racer though. Not much I can say that hasn't been said already though.

If you think it's easy, wait til you hit level 35 and up. Rossi ends up returning, worse than before.

Also, for anyone wondering about the ms speed wheel. It is a great mix of a wheel and regular controller. I would almost say it is just a 360 controller with the ps3 sixaxis tech built in, shaped like a u. Response in great, advanced settings for it, for sensitivity and dead zones is great, and the feel of the controller is amazing. Put the steering to simulation, and climb into a high hp rwd car, and have fun trying to keep her straight. It's a damn great controller option of the price.

I have a ms wireless wheel, as well as a playseat with a fanatec wheel, and gotta say, it's my favorite of them all. Only down sides are it takes regular batteries only (2 AA), it doesn't have a plug for a wired headset, so u can only use wireless headsets, and it's missing RB and LB buttons.

I will check this thread often if others have questions, so feel free to ask. I really think if you are a forza fan, a car fan, or a racing game fan you should give the speed wheel a few hours of your time.

I'm assuming you are talking about the Fanatec wheel. If so, buy rechargeables.

It's an evolution from Forza 3, but what a fun evolution. I'm only at level 7 or something, but I bought the Olds 442 since my dad is big into cars and is currently restoring one and have been using that in the early races.

I showed him the game and raced the Olds for him and he was like "Wow, that looks like the dash..." and asked him if the engine sound was accurate, and he said, "Yeah, that's pretty much how it sounds."

What I love is how well they seemed to model the power of the car. You can't just floor it coming out of a turn or that back end will come around. But it was really easy to race some of the less powerful cars.

I think this will be a racing game that I actually get close to finishing.

I hate this storefront thing. Can't get tuning help no more. "Go buy it!" Can't because I'm not paying for XBL Gold. Any sites with tuning settings?

I used this for Forza 3. http://forzatune.com/
It's almost done for FM4.

For those of you transferring your Forza 3 account to Forza 4;

What are the benefits? From what I've read it's based on level and which cars you have in your garage, not completion of the game, is that correct? For those who transferred level 50 accounts over, what did you get?

Re: Forza Motorsport 4 Impressions From the OS Community

Was everyone forced into an A class Chevy trackday for race 3 in the masters division? It was the only option no matter how many cars I switched to.

MS Speed Wheel

so beyond the obvious shortcomings (no LB/RB) and low rumble, what is the consensus on the MS Speed Wheel? Better control than controller? Tiring to hold? etc

thanks!

Re: Forza Motorsport 4 Impressions From the OS Community

First sim racing game. I got my Chevy affinity level up to four, went and bought an Impala, and then proceed to max out all the upgrades including slap a turbo charger on there. Now all I do is sit there and listen to the engine idle. I love the sound of power.

Re: Forza Motorsport 4 Impressions From the OS Community

What is the maximum number of cars that can be in an offline race? And if you play 2 player is there any AI cars racing against you.

Thanks.

2-player split-screen is supported.

If you do split-screen, you can only add 2 more AI racers to the track.

usually I have 3 choices and can kind of manipulate them but I think that race was only a choice of two - Chevy or Dodge. No way to change it.
