Yeah, it does. Thank you 
Whew, got through that read, and that is a lot to absorb. Needless to say, I need to Favorite this thread some I can refer back to it. I’ve got so many notes on my desk right now that I am going to have to take time just to summarize the notes! LOL
Great write up K, and hats off to you for putting in the time to put this down. If it took me that long to read it, I can only imagine the hours taken to organize the structure, thoughts and layout, let alone type it.
I hate to ask, but maybe a reference guide or summary at the end?
Like a adjustment quick guide table? I don’t do those, sorry. I dislike those because it becomes too much of a ‘do exactly this’ when ‘this’ doesn’t even apply to the situation, so one can easily get confused, frustrated, and give up on the whole process.
I’ve read approximately half of this so far but it’s good to see something like this on here, I’d also like to add a few things too.
Firstly, Don’t underestimate the effects simple geometry changes (Toe, Caster and Camber) can make, I’ve tuned some very nasty habits out of cars using only these three and the telemetry screen.
Secondly, That telemetry screen is priceless when it comes to tuning, many people would kill for such a system in real life and it’s the only readout of information at your disposal so use it.
Thirdly, If you find yourself still at a loss as to what each adjustment does then simply experiment and find out, it’s sometimes helpful to only purchase certain adjustable items so that you physically can’t change other settings, I tend to find myself learning more when I’m restricted to only a few options rather than having an enormous selection to choose from.
Couldn’t agree with you more on that. It just sucks that we can’t use the telemetry during replays. Thanks for the response on this though. You seem like you already know what you’re doing, but I hope that you might be able to pick something else up out of this lol.
Thank you so much for the informative post! I too am very new to Forza and am enjoying it thoroughly. Though I have found myself experimenting endlessly to try and find the right balance for me without really grasping what it was I was looking for. Hopefully, I can use the details here to further enhance my tuning experience with some glimpse of understanding what it is I am actually doing. I think the key for me is to understand how adjusting one item can impact other items I have tuned so that I know what to go back and look at. Definitely takes a lot of practice and is so different from car to car. Keep up the great work!
even though my profile is new, I’ve been around Forza since the beginning and Gran Turismo before that. My favorite “tuning” game to this day though ironically is Need For Speed Underground 2 lol. Maybe I remember it better than it really was…
anyway, this needs to seriously be stickied to every Forza game’s “Tuner’s Lounge”. It’s absolutely brilliant.
I have zero circle track experience, but I’ve been 9s in the quarter, over 200mph in a mile, and 1:29 at Mazda Laguna SECA in real life. So you could say I have some experience with pushing and tuning cars to their best as well.
this is so well written.
