Cars get dirty TOO FAST!

In FM7 I noticed that cars getting dirty is much more faster than FM6 and I think is TOO FAST
For example, I drive my car slowly for maybe 10 meters to take a picture and there are dirts on grille!
Absolutely I agree dirts on car shows excitement about racing, but that speed is really unbearable.
There was a perfect solution in FH series is we can make our car look like brand-new with a button, and I can not understand why we can’t do it in FM even just make it new only in Photomode.

Here is the picture I metioned before. I just want to show it’s beauty and I found it is dirty. The picture is 1080P and you can zoom in to see dirts on grille.

I love that bmw v10

This is the text book definition of a nitpick

Or has everything else been complained about so you’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel to find something wrong.

As you said it’s not an important-enough problem, but T10 done well in previous FM and they changed in FM7 to make it worse.

To me, I just want to take some picture with my car that looks clean.

Not entirely… The windshield gets dirty too quick and there’s no option to turn on the wipers to wash it off.

I’ve hated this issue from a photo mode stand point, its the reason I don’t have many pictures on the Nurburgring because a full lap cant be done. I’d say its not as much a problem in the races even though I think the dirt looks rubbish, but for those of us that love taking pictures its such a pain. FH3 option to clean the car was great but dirt in that game looked fantastic, especially when you drove though a puddle in a dusty car. Motorsport however, just before the dirt appears, you see what looks like (the most PG think I can use to replace what I want to say) uniform PVA glue splodges. Yes you could say its nit-picking but when a genuine part of the game is made unnecessarily suboptimal by something tiny that they already have a solution to is just another frustration. If you don’t take photos you wont see it as an issue just as a non tuner wont see the test drive issue or a non painter wont see the lighting in home space as an issue.

I remember this in F5/F6 and even if you done 1 lap the car had dirt all over it,it doesn’t even look like dirt it looks more like tyre marbles have got stuck to the car.

In FM6’s Road America I know the exact spot where my Viper gets dirty all of the sudden

It’s a typical T10 overdone feature. No subtlety just layer it on there.

In FM, my cars get more dirty in one lap than a whole day at the track in real life.

Especially frustrating is how the windshield gets so dirty so quickly.

I’ll drive hundreds of kilometres before needing a clean IRL yet in FM it happens within 5 kilometres.

Some cars have a distinct cutoff from the dirt (especially in Rainy races), such as the e92 M3.
It looks silly.

I completely agree there should be an option is either turn the dirt effects off or at least make them accumulate slower

This is pure nitpicking, I personally don’t think the cars get dirty too fast

It is 100% nit picking but he is right.

Do either of you play via Cockpit or Driver camera? You’re always looking out the windscreen and if you’re doing long races, then it’s dirty over 90% of the time.

That’s not right and gets more annoying when you have the sun in your eyes refracting and flaring off the dirt.

That’s not a nitpick, it’s a constant thing that impairs vision.

Hi fella, yes i only play in cockpit view and as i said he is right but with the growing amount of issues people are coming up with this one is way down on the list.

Id like a way to be able to clean my wind shield but can I see it ever happen, no.

While I agree its of nitpicking nature, because if it didnt exist, then we would complain that the cars don’t get dirty, however last night I was doing a race on Silverstone Full Circuit and by the 3rd turn my car looked like it’d been behind a car doing a burnout for 10 minutes.

Wish I would have taken a picture for sake of this thread.

I agree with your perspective. You shouldn’t have so many bits of rubber stuck to the cars bodywork after just a lap and half, not to mention how dirty the windscreen gets. It should build up slowly after at least a few laps and it would be very nice to actually see the wipers move to clear the grime away.

Since we’re on the subject, working headlights and wipers would be a first in Forza. I’d enjoy that for sure.
