Personally I like having headlights on during the day. I’d like the option for it rather than having it permanently on or off. I love that about Pcars, being able to map buttons to turn headlights/wipers etc on or off. Forza needs more options when it comes to stuff like that
You know I just thought of something. This game is about the love of cars right? And with all of the customizations that you can do to the cars. You should be able to pick whether or not you want the headlights on a Dodge Charger.
Make the lights a option at the beginning of a daytime race and you set it on or off and that is it. You cannot turn the lights on or off during the race. And a override for night racing with the lights on.
Turn them off in photo mode…and forget about it…lol!
I like them on… comes in handy in tunnels! Plus helps drivers see me in rear view…in theory anyway…lol!
I see alot of people in this thread making comments to the contrary, it seems to me that these people are not considerate of others. Forza isn’t just about racing, it’s about the cars too; and there are many players who play Forza where racing is really the secondary activity. You’ve got to remember that there are people who play Forza specifically for the cars too… With that in mind, a detail like this can be a rather dramatic damper for these players. A 69 Charger or Charger Daytona with their lights up and on when they don’t want them, can distract a player who’s more detail oriented; especially in Photo Mode.
On some cars, yeah they can take a big chunk of the view in the bottom corners. Rent one on a night course and see for yourself.
I don’t like the option of cluttering the controller with extra buttons to mess with the headlights, but an option to turn them on/off before the race would be nice. I would guess that the ForzaVista cars are simply extremely high LOD models of the cars used in races, so the ability to swing the headlights open/closed is there on most cars. And let’s not forget, most of these cars were in Horizon 2, and all of them had the lights flip up when it rained and when the sun went down.
So the ability is there, it’s just a question of how far down T10’s list of fixes and features this is.
Would it be a nice to have? Sure, is it something to take money, time and effort to put in the game? No. Maybe in 7 or if they decide to do some dynamic lighting for day/night cycle.
I have to disagree here; I like the headlamps always on feature, as it helps visually to know whose approaching you from behind. This is a great feature IMO!!!
I have to say that I agree with others on this. I don’t think the headlights on or off are an issue at all in this game. In fact, it is quite realistic because many cars (old and new, even models with flip lights) had/have daytime running lights that can’t be turned off…it was considered a luxury then and even more so nowadays.
