The Featured spotlight track choice was very bad, most people are cutting the track.

The initial physics model seemed to slow cars down that cut the corners or otherwise went off track. It seems recently the physics model doesn’t slow cars as much or not at all if you hit the grass. I bet the top runners cried out loud and T10 listened to them. So the physics model got changed to stop cars from losing speed in the grass and corners. If people want it to. E more sim.like then it should punish drivers for going off track and cutting corners not reward them.

Did they really change the grip on the grass? If so - I see it as a good thing. It was very annoying when the grass sucked you in and threw you off the track basically if you dropped 2 tires outside of tarmac.

6

So you want a true arcade game not anything close to a sim or a simcade?

7

It’s already a simcade, and Forza isn’t supposed to be a sim.
It’s more about to go more on an arcade or sim way

8

It isn’t a simcade, it’s an advanced arcade-sim.

9

So a simcade, but who tend more to arcade from your view.
I mean, what you call “an advanced arcade sim” that’s actually a part of “what is a simcade”

10

To be a sim of sorts,

it needs tire modeling that works, FM doesn’t.

It needs off track physics that actually slow the car, consistently from track to track and through cutting corners, FM doesn’t.

Tuning physics that models (at least closely) real world tuning, FM doesn’t.

Handling physics that doesn’t wobble wobble with most of the stock vehicle setups, FM doesn’t.

Handling physics that more closely match the handling characteristics of the actual cars, FM doesn’t.

I could go on and on. Compared to a real sim Forza is cartoonish at best. Compared to FH it is more sim like. Compared to NFS it is more sim like. But that in and of itself doesn’t make it a simcade. At least as far as I care to admit. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. If people don’t like I ok with that. Anyone can call it anything they want, it won’t change my opinion.

It’s an advanced arcade game with sim like qualities, an arcadsim.

11

No, I just don’t want the game to feel like GTA V where AI traffic turns into your lane on purpose. That’s how the grass feels in FM, like a cheap “gotcha” from the devs. I’m not saying it should be full grip or forgiving, but it shouldn’t suck you in so hard, especially in a game where you are 100% likely to get punted off the track. In ACC if you catch grass you can still save your car and continue racing. In FM you get sucked in and lose like 20 seconds from a minor mistake or whenever someone decides to push you off.

I hope they sort out that Daytona exit and the punishments soon.

In my case, I also have a constant drop in FPS and I have no car sounds.
