Just picked this up for £6.99 at GAME 2nd hand, for the 3rd time.

will be looking for fellow forza'ers to have some online races with.

Used to have some amazing races on the nurburg in R1 cars!!

[GMC79]

Yep as long as u can avoid the quitters. Ive had over 1100 races online and i'd estimate That 45% have quit. Same with any game tho.
£6.99! lol. Bargain.

[nokmond]

£6.99? Wowaweewah. I've ust got my 1st 360, enjoyed the demo so i'll be getting it shortly.

I'm playing thru a component cable, does anyone know if vga gives better results on it? Less jaggies?

This will most likely depend on the display. Most people have made different comments on both, Probably down to the display itself along with picture setup etc etc.
Jaggies are not that bad at all for me, not tried VGA myself as my PC is using it.
However i did notice that Metallic paint give loads of jaggies on cars (what u see in demo) so never ever use it. Normal paint is 100% better, and from what i remember demo is a tad worse anyway. Any jaggies is only on cars, tracks/enviroments are very good indeed.

In regard to the buying all cars from a region achievements, does anyone know if cars bought from the auction house count towards them?

I've chosen the Europe region and some of the US and Japanese cars are only unlocked if you choose their respctive region to begin with.

yes

its easier to buy cars from auction than keep paying to swap regions

stay in europe, buy cars and mod them then sell them as you get massive discounts that you loose as soon as you swap regions

maybe 1 in 10 times you see the car you want in an auction you will get it dead chaep

i ended up borrrowing the last 10 or so cars i needed

[TVR_Fan]

Anyone up for a S998 Porsche 911 meeting on the 28th of December at 7:30pm or 8pm.

[BigStu1972]

I haven't played Forza for ages but I might give it a go tonight.
Will be nice to install it on the hard drive and cut out all that disk noise

[TVR_Fan]

I am going to call off the 911 S998 meeting, due to lack of intrest.

Hi,

Happy New Year to all.

I have just recently repurchased Forza 2 and managed to pick up the SE for only £13. (God love GameStation) And i was wondering if anyone could tell me where i find the 3 cars that come with the game. I have entered the code and downloaded them but don't know where to find them. Are they in the garage or do i have to buy them in game so to speak?


Also a while back when i first had the game someone (and i cant remember if they were from this forum or not) very kindly gifted me some cars and allowed me to sell them back to him. Not in a cheating kind of way though. Just so i could get a few more cars into my garage. (As you can probably tell i deleted my game save before i bought the game again )

If that was you or you know that person or they did it for you and you know there GT could you let me know as i would like to do such a task again. Not in a cheating way you understad though.

Many thanks

Yep if the codes worked and downloaded correctly the the cars will just appear in their respective dealers, ie the Subura S204 will need to be purchased the same as any other, same goes with DLC. remember what the cars are and just go buy as norm.

---------------------------------------------------------------

On another matter i was playing PGR2 yesterday and while online i realised or more remembered what we need in Forza 3. The thing is in PGR2 when u select a DLC track or pack etc it tells u if someone in the lobby dont have it. Annoyed me that that didnt happen in Forza 2, so if devs are reading take note please.

[matttr6]

Really thinking about buying this again (esp if I can get it for a tenner!!)

Is this still popular online, or will everyone move over to Racepro when its out??

Getting a bit tired of Grid, have started playing PGR4 again but I fancy another cheap racing game. Got Pure but that seems to be dead online.

[Pooon]

Yup still busy online, but, as you say, might not be once RacePro arrives, i know that the guys in my racing team will be moving over to RP

Can get it for less than a tenner thou in the classifieds

Thanks for the help

[Boon72]

the whoole idea is you race to get the cars to progress through the game, you dont have to follow the races from left to right you can not finish 1 type before entering the next type.

some cars are only available in each of the zones, Europe - USA - Asia

[stevenisace]

thanks for the replie, but i have got to level 50 now and done all the races. I jsut want to get these last achievements so i can finish the game

[McNab]

Do some more races for more credits.

That's what I did.

[dUnKle]

Anyone able to take pity on me
Used to love Forza until it was "borrowed" by a Cousin
Managed to get a 2nd hand copy recently but for some reason I must have deleted by saves

Anyone want to take pity on me and gift be a half decent car (or cash for one) ?

Just something so I can breeze through the first quarter of the game


Oh - also when I got my Forza at launch I got the MS wheel too - but have heard there are problems with it - should I still use it

I still need a ton of cars to get my acheivements too but doubt I will ever get them. I started racing again and I had up to 1,000,000 credits but then I thought sod it and started doing my cars up again and i spent it all. Why do so many people want to cheat there way to gain acheivements
your gamer score certainly doesn't impress anyone

Not sure what problems you're referring to but my brother in law plays on it all the time without issue. There was some issue I seem to recall with running it from the power adapter but I never looked into if they did a recall on any models or anything.

Cheers
May dig it back out and try again then

Oh and anyone wanna take pity on me for a gift

[smokingreen]

I dug this out and had a go on for the first time in a while last night. I still have quite a bit of career mode to do.

When I was playing I noticed something which I am sure I haven't noticed before. When driving some of the cars (in chase cam) the engine sound was only coming from the centre and left speaker (5.1 setup). This did not happen on all cars, but I did notice it on an Evo Time Attack car (it was called something like that), but when I tried a 911 (and a few other cars) the engine sound was coming from the front right, centre and front left speakers...

It's not really an issue, but I couldn't figure out why they would have coded it like that?

BTW the 360 is connected to my amp (Denon 3803) via optical cable and the amp states that it is decoding Dolby Digital.

[thelegendofyrag]

Are all your wires connected properly? I had an issue similar with my sub the wires were loose.

What Class do you ideally want the car to be in? i'm sure i can sort you out with something

[smokingreen]

Yeah all the wires are connected, it's fine with nearly every car and every other game. Its just a few cars, for some reason they tend to be Japanese 4wd cars. Like I said before it's not an issue, I just wondered if it was intentional, or whether it was a bug on a few cars.

god knows
Only got the first half dozen or so sections open - so anything really for them

[Pooon]

Right o, i'll take a look at what car/class will be suitable for a smany of the early races as possible and gift it over

[dUnKle]

Still looking to see if anyone would take pity on me and gift me a car (or two)

Nothing state of the art but maybe just a tweaked up 4x4 or something

Would be appreciated

Cheers

[jammieeeee]

Really struggling for credits on forza, justa couple more cars to buy....

If anyone has left this game now and has a decent amount of credits a few wouldn't go amiss sent my way.

I know its a long shot but thanks
