11.4

 

oh cool. now i know that you dont just 1 up me. you 1 up everyone

 

I find it hard to believe that 11.4 was achieved with a fwd cobalt on this game.

 

i keep the stock motors and stock drivetrain in. more realistic than a v8, rwd cobalt

 

There's no option for rwd in the cobalt like there was in forza 3

 

just saying though

 

 

is it the v8 swap? fastest i got on the lnf motor was 12.7

 

yeah v8, the LNF one i got to around 12 flat.

different tracks seem to have different grip. just banged out a 12.0 on sedona when i could only get 12.7 at infineon

 

 

So far the game isn't that bad, can't get the LNF to corner right though. Every turn I take it either pushes through or the ass slides out and how does a Fiesta get thrown into a race with lotus and ferraris? I had to throw on evey bolt on and it still wouldn't keep up.....got pretty pissed at that.

 

Probably in a multiclass event i'm guessing?

 

make sure you have a car at the top of the class. if not then its hard to win

 

It was an A600 multi class event and I was an A600. First time it ever happened to me, usually if I am at the top I smoke the **** out of everyone. I even messed with traction control thinking I was spinning off the line too much, went with the AWD conversion and a new gear box and still they whoop my ass. I just went with a different car so the class group got lowered, balt wouldn't even keep up with them.

 

Ya it's bullshit that the game auto upgrades every computer to the top of the class. I mean I guess that's realistic because that's what you would do in real life, but it's still annoying

 

Dillema.
Using component cables with the GEN1 XBOX.

IN standard mode, non HD, the SOUND WORKS!
When I switch it to HDTV in the settings, and switch the little switch on the connector to HDTV, change the source on the TV to COMPONENT (Same connector as the source AV2 for standard) the sound doesn't work...
HMMN

 

Tyler, you should have to move the red and white audio cords to correspond with the component cables since the green, blue and red cables are video only. There should be a audio input below/next to the component plugs that go with that component input Sorry if I'm insulting your intelligence on this, just trying to help you brainstorm, in the end I dont know how the inputs on your tv are arranged, but I've always had to do this. I'm just guessing its this because if you have sound in normal mode your Xbox audio has to work ok, it should be plug placement issue

 

Forza 2 and 3 never did that, they just ran stock cars up to a certain point. How are you supposed to win with a 300hp car against 500 + 600hp cars?


Are you using the same component cable you were having issues with? Might be a bad cord.

 

there is somewhere else for audio out, but it wouldn't make since with the way the tv is set up
kind of strange.
I'll try that.. Thanks

 

You have to put the red and white audio cables in the audio in for whatever component input you are using. I think thats what tommyp just said though..

 

Hey tommy, you were right. IMAGINE THAT

THe placement of the cables for this made it strange and that's why I was unable to fix an easy problem.

Hmmn.. Who woulda' knew?
LOL
Thanks

 

Ya that's what I was trying to say. If the audio works in non hd mode there's nothing wrong with the cables

 

It makes a big difference going from yellow to component. I used my wifes Wii for netflix the othernight and had to turn it off because it looked so shitty, I just watched it on my laptop instead.

 

Yeah, I never had it non HD mode to begin with. Once I tried it that's what I realized..
