i cant remember where but i read that statement yesterday and it actually said "120 new cars available"

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Sat 7 Sep 2013 - 18:14

120 cars, five tracks, 16 car lobby, no aero repairs...

Bathurst and Spa alone don't justify the expense of a new console and game when everything else is less than or equal to FM4.

If you think about it logically, there shouldn't be aero repairs. At least not on the road cars, everyone's thinking of Formula 1, and that's only nose cones. Rolling Eyes

Yes but if you can do an engine swap/repair in a matter of seconds a body panel shouldn't be an issue, particularly when it effectively makes the game "not fun any more".

I know, they should take out engine/suspension/brakes etc repair out as well, might make people drive a bit more careful.

by Standaman94 Sat 7 Sep 2013 - 21:22

^ Exactly. Repair body work for light bumps, but suspension/engine etc would take longer/not be repaired at all, making you drive much more carefully... Hopefully that would spell the end to some of the reckless behaviour a certain minority seem to demonstrate Razz

NASCAR does aero repairs (usually involving duct take and patch panels) ALMS/LMES/Rolex Prototypes switch noses, tails, splitters and rear wings, Indycar switches out front and rear wings... lots of aero repairs get done in many series. Except Forza.

So, maybe not have it on production based vehicles, but by all means have aero repairs on race cars.

Forza 5 will feature lots and lots and lots of dlc I have been told

Have you now? Wink

by Ax4x Kane Sat 7 Sep 2013 - 22:23

I don't care if it's realistic or not, but it makes the game more enjoyable if we can repair aero.

I don't mind DLC if we get at least some track dlc. I couldn't care less about the abundance of useless cars we have.

by **JAMIE ANDERS0N** Sat 7 Sep 2013 - 22:43

We was conned in fm4 why have a section for track dlcs and not bring out any

But some people like realism, I'm one of them, and unfortunately Turn 10 can't please both sides. And TORA's motto happens to be #AsRealAsItGets, so as a community we should be pushing for more realism.

by Ax4x Kane Sat 7 Sep 2013 - 23:01

Don't get me wrong, I love realism. But Forza isn't in that genre exactly. I see Forza as being 'in the middle'. Not as hardcore as Rfactor or iRacing, but certainly not your average kiddie racer.

I play hardcore war simulator ArmA III, but sometimes its nice to go on Battlefield. Just put it in as an option.

by Hainesy Sat 7 Sep 2013 - 23:04

Ideally they will give us the option to turn features like this on or off, then they can be decided on individual championships with maybe the flagship series going for the more realistic approach.

And please, the ability to separate damage and tyre wear, and make tyre wear adjustable depending on length of the race.

by Ax4x Kane Sat 7 Sep 2013 - 23:11

^Absolutely.

I heard in an interview that with simulated damage parts like suspension would be ether broken or not broken with no in between like in real life

,,Ideally" they ONLY have 2 put it back in like it was in Forza2. Separate selectable fuel/tyre wear and damage!!. Simple as that. No big deal.

by **JAMIE ANDERS0N** Mon 9 Sep 2013 - 19:25

Say thanks to Matt, I just checked twitter (a rare thing for me) and Matt re twitted it.

by Ax4x Kane Mon 9 Sep 2013 - 20:42

After I already ordered it from shopto Rolling Eyes

I suppose, considering I was going to buy FIFA 14 anyway, It's not like I've lost out on anything.

by Ax4x Kane Mon 9 Sep 2013 - 22:35

Reading over at the Forzamotorsport.net forums and it seems that a helmet designer is quite a popular request, particularly with the inclusion of open wheelers. Is this really worth the time & effort of development?

Don't bother mentioning how everything is worth more than Forza Vista. I've heard it a thousand times & it's boring.

by CQR HABURi Mon 9 Sep 2013 - 23:13

Well, GT5 had tons of pre-set helmets to choose from, so why not have the same thing on Forza?

by **LMR DarthMario** Mon 9 Sep 2013 - 23:15

i'd rather have a helmet designer than Forza Vista
