Will weather be implemented in FM5, or FM6?
Will there be any major updates to FM5 before FM6 comes out?
Is there data being output that could be used for other sim experience?

Great job on this video. One interesting thing though, they mentioned that they go to extreme lengths to correctly measure the weight of car parts for Forza (ie the driveshafts) and yet in Forza 5 when you convert a car from all wheel drive to rear wheel drive, somehow this makes the car heavier! How can a car be made heavier by basically removing 2 driveshafts, front differential and a transfer case? Has anyone else noticed this?
Yeah I watched it to. I enjoy watching inside sim racing on You Tube. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the videos. The passion that Turn 10 has with Forza franchise is the same as mine for playing it. Honestly, I’m ready for Forza 6 next year.
