This is a QUESTION about freeplay ghosts not a wish list or any other lockable illegal post OK ( babying voice ) . i like to time trial and set hot laps like i have done in every forza game . in forza 5 and 6 the TT mode was erased and turned into rivals in 5/ 6 same thing only you have to be connected to the internet to set recorded times by track and class . forza 7 changed it even more and it seems to me that the last stand for TT is freeplay hotlapping . you still need to be ONLINE to set a record , but i noticed the ghost records seem to be glitched . is it just me or does the record only give you your last lap no matter what ??? In forza 5/6 it would do dirty and then over write it when you set a clean lap . can any person confirm this is true and or if forza devs know about and can fix it so i can use my ghost as a tool to get a faster lap …pleaseus christ thanks good bye #dontbealocksucker #freeyoungpostscuz #ifthesenolifemodslockmypostplzmessagemetheanswercool
Like you I miss the leaderboard ghosts enormously. The disappointment is higher because the file marker appears to indicate that a ghost has been saved but is unusable.
Ghosts in Free Play are created each session but are lost at the end.
A ghost is always created on your 1st lap, clean or dirty. That ghost is only replaced if you set a PB during the session.
If I’ve set a time already on that leaderboard I try to make best use of the 1st lap ghost by:
setting to standing start,
reversing from the line,
warming up the tyres,
start the lap at race speed,
use rewind to perfect as many turns as possible.
If you do this right you should end up with a ghost that is close to (or even ahead of) your current PB.
Make sure you have ghosts turned on and drivatars set to 0.
Ok but i have been ghost hot lapping so long i get the concept . when i do it in forza 6 it records the best lap dirty then overights it if i set any clean lap even if slower , in the track session even if i do 10 laps and finish it keeps that lap until i load another track. But in forza 7 it seems to be just recording my previous lap no matter what i set even if a fly off the track and flip around .
