    Quite an odd bug really. I wonder if that'll get fixed.

    Honestly, it seems pretty trivial. I’m sure they have much bigger things to worry about with their AI system and multiplayer.

    Having set up a primitive in-car view for a prototype, I can fully admit to door mirrors being stupidly easy to overlook. I had it working for days before one of my coworkers was looking at it and realized, "Wait, these mirrors are reflecting things backwards."
    Almost certainly not a bug and just someone accidentally tying the wrong two objects together. It's probably already been fixed. >_>

    Okay, good news-bad news.

    Good news: They're redoing Nurburgring to be more accurate, possibly even laser scanned!

    Bad News: It'll be DLC in January.

    So until January I get to enjoy not having to race that track every other day we play? Sounds good to me. :p

    I assume that will include GP, or no? (Assuming they said, of course)

    heh i assume in the early days it'll be a lot of the new tracks anyways. i also hope this re-doing of nurburgring allows for the full nurburgring + gp course, that'd be great. worth the 2 months.

    The quote (which I found through the Forza boards), which comes from a 10-page piece in EVO magazine:
    "...Connect the Xbox One to the internet and you'll also be able to get all the very latest content - further new tracks and new cars - as soon as it's available. And in January, that will include arguably the most challenging circuit on the planet - the Nurburgring Nordschleife. Well known to evo readers, the Ring has become the ultimate performance benchmark, a lap time the supreme arbiter of a supercar's talents. From January, you'll be able to compare your times with the test drivers from McLaren, Pagani and all the others..."

    Gotcha. Inconclusive. I hope they pack it all together, but the way those two have historically been separate doesn't give weight either way.

    I just hope they fix the 'ring and make it the proper length. The current version is over two miles longer than it is supposed to be.

    Does make it more fun to race on really since it's less cramped, but if they rescanned it as rumored they'll probably make it the correct size. Also the "compare your times" wording sounds like they're planning on fixing the size. But marketing speak ho! Find out in 3 weeks anyway.

    Personally, I would trade accuracy of the Ring for slightly more room since it is already rather difficult to pass on as it is in the increased size version.

    So the SBC PI is updated. I didnt get results from Sebring so ehh fuck it.

    What results do you mean? You seem to have the right of the grid order ...

    Otherwise, ooooh, 2 PI worth of tire upgrades you say? ... Realistically, I'll try and cram the race transmission back in. <_<

    50 dollar season pass for FM5 like Horizon.

    People on the internet crying, but i think that's alright. Mostly curious how the Nurburgring is going to be distributed.

    16-player confirmation is good to have, even if I was subtly hoping we'd somehow hit 20.
    Also, nobody else saw the windshield damage and thought, "Sweet Jesus ..."?

    I thought "huh I wonder if that happens in Forza 4." Since I never play in cockpit view.

    My first thought was "Wait a minute, that car flipped in a relatively realistic fashion and did not warp across the track like a ping-pong ball! What have they done to ForzaPhysics !?"

    EDIT: Oh, and that video confirms modern F1 cars (at least the Lotus), which there had been some wondering about.

    Also meant to post this earlier:

    For those of us who use the livery editor (so... me...), it shows off the fact you can now make your vinyls various paint/surface/finish types (shown here, chrome). Imagine a technicolor death car in chrome!

    Could you really tell that much from that half second clip of the car flipping? I had to go back and watch it a few times and I still couldn't tell much of anything from that bit.

    I hope we get matte as well. And I use the Livery editor! I'm just really bad at it and don't have enough time really so I just reuse the stuff i made over and over. If i could import vector files from photoshop or something it'd be a lot less painful! :p

    re: ForzaPhysics™, i hope it means there's some sort of sanity checking, but more likely it's just offline mode. Forza's physics work in a way that makes sense 99% of the time offline, the comedy usually happens when two cars are interacting via the internet and shit goes crazy.

    It had not bounced into the opposite wall, done a pirouette and then ricocheted 70 degrees on it's nose, so it was at least less psychotic than 4 :)

    EDIT: To Knight's point on ForzaPhysics™, true.

    And matte will also be an option on vinyls as far as I can tell.

    THIS.

    I use PS a reasonable amount and trying to do anything in the livery editor is just incredibly tedious when compared to working with modern design software. On the other hand if that was allowed it would mean we immediately get porn on the side of cars.

    Easy editing vs penis-mobiles.

    Mask layers would make editing way way better, yea. I end up using same color as the car shapes, but it's very cludgey, and can be seen if you look close.

    Ladies and gentlemen, Porsche!

    In other news, Forza 5's full official car list is out.

    http://forzamotorsport.net/en-US/news/FM5_Forza_Showroom_final

    Only about 200 cars, a gigantic amount of glaring omissions. Any thoughts I had of buying an Xbone after a price drop for Forza 5 just went right out the window.

    Oh, and the full track list:

    Bernese Alps
    Catalunya
    Spa
    Indianapolis
    Le Mans
    Laguna Seca
    Mount Panorama
    Prague
    Road Atlanta
    Sebring
    Silverstone
    Test Track Airfield
    Top Gear test track
    Yas Marina

    What a giant leap backwards.

    While I am not flipping the fuck out like Cube is on SA, I have definately gone from "resigned to buying a Xbox One" to "not any time soon".
