TORA Ford Fiesta Trophy - General Discussion

As far as I know race 3 hasn't happened I think Xbox may be down as its showing 0 friends online.

Yeah xbox friends etc seems to be down.

Lag bombed by the usual laggy culprit in race two and couldn't continue due to wrecked car. Final race, well don't know if anyone else got invite or not but XBL my end is fine.

Xbl being stupid for me😞😒😠😢☹

Yeah XBL is down I think sadly, pitty as I was really enjoying lobby B racing tonight.

Must be randomly affecting certain geographic locations, mine is most definitely up and running.

Are we rescheduling Lobby B race three for next week or are we still trying for this evening?

Either way, thanks to lobby hosts tonight again for hosting. Cheers guys.

Guys look in sign in bit for tonight...my live is being a bleep bleep ruddy blleeeeper

To everyone who was in lobby b, please read my post on page 3 via the link below:

This week i joined TORA and yesterday was my 1st race (and in B lobby). My 1st thought was "once but never again...!!! This bs was ridiculous..!! I'll unregister..!!"
I could never b more wrong    i have Microsoft to blame for the lag, distorted voice chat, 0 friends online.
I experienced lag both races, however 2nd was realy bad. I'm maybe wrong but there was no 3rd race. 2nd race was re-done.?
I prefer to do the whole race again, i understand the 3rd will go tomorrow. I'm in.

Besides that i learned something about my shifting behaviour because of the sim damage. My clutch is LB, i clutch/shift in sync what obviously distroyed my gearbox every race in 2 laps      When you're A=clutch. clutch/shift is always a little async.

unfortunately lag is out the hands of tora..regarding your clutch config 90% of us on hear use the A button as clutch and X as up and B as down that way you can hit clutch and up or down gear much smoother..try it might help..also in future if you ever get robot voices you will need to do a xbox reset by turning it off at the wall for ten seconds and then rebooting that should clear up the voice issues..just make sure u msg the host b4 you do it tho...hope this all helps....

A way to avoid robot voices, If you are in a XBL party and you receive your game invite..LEAVE THE PARTY FIRST!! It seems to work, it has everytime I've done this. THEN...join the lobby #HappyDays

I'd tweaked the deadzone settings for the clutch a bit, in my tests so far i didn't smoke the gearbox. Physically i'm not able to shift with clutch on A because of a muscle disorder
I'll try the "party leave" method, didn't know that thnx.
