I’ve been tuning a lot of cars as of late (shameless self promotion, check out my tunes! I build for max handling, ease of driving, and max grip generally, I think you’ll very much like driving my cars!). And I’d like to share a list of cars that I’ve tuned on local forums about cars where we talk Forza. Is there any way to see my list of tunes, outside of the game, like from this website or elsewhere? I know Forza has a lot of cloud integration now, was surprised I haven’t found this, thought maybe there was a third party tool or something?
Otherwise how do you guys look at your list of Tunes?
Thank you in advance, sorry I’m a bit of a n00b to these forums, I didn’t see a thread on this or a sticky. I apologize if this has been asked before.
All my tunes are logged in seperate spreadsheets for each vehicle. From there I also have an excel sheet I add a number next to each car (used Max’s list for cars) for the total number of tunes I have for it. It keeps a running total at the bottom so I will know how close I am to the tune limit. The spreadsheet each car has contains the builds and tunes I like, shared, or I am experimenting with. This way I can delete tunes but still have everything I need to create the vehicle again. Also if my save file gets corrupted I still have the most important data saved. Tedious, but it works for me.
Here is what I started to do. I created an Excel spreadsheet with all of the manufacturers and cars. Then as I tune them I add them to the sheet. If there is a new car pack, I just add them to the sheet. I started to do this back in FM5 and before that with Horizon. I then kept that same formula and made the changes needed going forward. Then when Horizon 2 came out I wanted to make sure that I could keep track and provide a list of everything that I have tuned to the forums. So I started to use Google docs. Now I can have it locked and shared for everyone to see and use. While I am tuning new cars I keep track of them in my notes in my phone. When I have the time I add them to the sheet, and it is live out on Google docs. Let me know if this helps. I have also provided the links for you below to see. If you have any questions on it give me a holler.
If only there’d been a feature where you could see every gamers tunes, liveries, vinyl groups etc, all in one place. You could have called it, oh, I don’t know, something like a “storefront”!! ;o) lol
It’s one feature from FM4 that I do miss. I can’t even remember what tunes I’ve done for my own cars, let alone see other people’s unless you’re searching for one specific car at a time.
With the way things are, I can’t even remember what I have shared. One time I was in a lobby and someone was using my tune for a car and I asked myself “When the hell did I do that?”
It’s odd that you can’t manage even your own tunes all at once, let alone search for non-specific tunes by player. it’s counter intuitive design, imo.
The excel spreadsheet seems like a great idea, but its the 21st century, the most technologically advanced we’ve ever been, etc. and really should not even be necessary to consider.
I would love if I could see which of my tunes are most popular without going through my garage and selecting cars one by one. This way I could adjust my builds and see what to build for the future.
Another oddity is some cars, which I KNOW I built a tune for, will sometimes show up with me having never saved a tune for. It’s like, where did the tune even go?
Forza Motorsports used to have a nice store front for each user. Both view able in-game and on this website.
Why they did away with it, is the big question…
Yes, storefront is one of things I miss the most. I absolutely hate the way we have to manage tunes now. Everytime I sign into Forza I’ve credits from one tune or another but I have no clue which one and I can’t be bothered to get in each car and check how a tune is doing. I should try and create a spreadsheet for them but I’d rather spend that time tuning and racing as my game time is limited. It’s one area where I think the game has actually gone backwards.
I can’t believe it, I last played Forza 4 and finally decided to get 6. Got it today and have spent the last 20 mins looking for where the storefronts were hidden, ended up here. To find out that there aren’t any is heartbreaking, I’m so disgusted I’m not even sure I’ll bother playing the game.
