8.3 Megapixel photos

I’ve been playing this for a while now and tried a lot of the features. I’ve recently started playing around with photos and last night I took one in 8.3 megapixels that took some time to upload.

Two questions;

  1. Am I right in thinking you can only upload one 8.3 mp pic at a time. The new one overwriting the old one?

  2. Where is my 8.3mp photo? It didn’t upload to my storefront with the rest of my pics.

  1. This is correct, each 8.3MP shot you upload overwrites the other one. However each bigshot only lasts 24 hours anyway. If you are a VIP then you can store an extra 2 bigshots at a time.

  2. To download bigshots, you need to go to your gallery here on ForzaMotorsport.net (click gallery from under the community tab, at the top). They should be displayed here along with all the other shots from your FM3, FM4 and FH storefronts. As I said, each bigshot lasts only 24 hours before being deleted (as they take up significantly more server space).

  1. Think twice before posting a BigShot here on the forums.

You can upload 3 bigshots. and then download them. These 3 photos are then written over, top to bottom in the list I believe, so as long as you have downloaded those 3, you can upload another 3… etc.

You can absolutely post them on the forums here, as the new forums will automatically scale them to fit the width of the columns, though I recommend not using anything wider than 1024, as the forums will cause the image to add unwanted sharpening at any size over 1024 wide.

If you are hosting through flickr, I believe the “LARGE” image size, rather than the “ORIGINAL” image size would be the most suitable option.
