I want to race a club members ghost but it doesnt give me the option, if you scroll though the leaderboards some people have a circle icon and those people I can ghost race against, what causes this and why do some people not have the option for me to race them. The club member ran a clean lap time in hot laps so whats the deal?
Those times with a circle next to them have a replay so that you can watch the lap. To have the replay you must set a time within the top 100. you may see some times that are outside the top 100 with the circle (and replay), this is because very early in forza 4 all times on the leaderboard had the replay saved irrespective of what position it was OR it could be that when the person first set a time it was in the top 100 but has since been pushed down. Later on in forza 4 it was limited to top 100 only for which the replay was saved. The reason I’m explaining this is because leaderboard times with the replay saved allow you to race their ghost with your ghost option under “HUD” set to “live only”. If you go to race one of these ghosts look at your HUD, look for the option for ghosts and you’ll see yours is set to “live only”. If you want to race the ghost of somebody that doesn’t have the replay saved you’ll need to set ghosts to “on”. Hope this helps.
Great information bud thanks a lot!
