any one know a Forza Motorsport 7 tuning guide one that explains absolutely ever thing something someone who has no idea what tuneing is or what in the world a toe dose it make you car go faster dose it make the rear wheels spin faster dose a bump damping make the RPM of the engine more or less dose the roll bar make the engin turn sideways or something

you see me level of knowlage for this although slightly exaggerated my point is that every guide i find and reads helps me about -1000% as all it tells and says stuff about stuff i dont under stand example is make toe lower to make car make car are swing out to make tires camber turn 2 degrees to make postive canber change is like what im reading and im like ohhhh so how dose this make the car turn beter? how dose postive 2* do?

all im reading are guide that explain how do stuff i need a tuning guide that is made for people who dont even know what a exauset pipe from a engine and who cant tell the front end of a car from the back

as all im finding are guide for people who have some car knowlage i have non and all it’s resulting is when i try to use these guide the car just slides and every thing but from what i wanted the tune to make it do

Here are 2 guides that are pretty rounded. There are many more on this site, you can go back to the FM5/Tuners area and search, also on the FM6 section.

There is another one by CW, befuddler, and several others.

huh i read one of those the worm one and it make no sence to me what so ever and such (is their like a sherpa program that i can get in a discord or TS3 with a experinced Forza player where they will teach me stuff?

Check out DLTuning guide, it gives a really good example of what the parts and adjustments do.

Have a good-n

Basically…

Adjusting tyre pressures allows you to change the working temperature, stiffer tyres are more responsive up to a point, softer tyres have more grip up to a point, theres a sweet spot for both but depends on the weight of the car. Aim to get all 4 tyres around 200F in temperature once warmed up and tweak from there.

Adjusting roll bars is quite simple really, you can ignore Caster mostly, it adjusts the stearing angle, setting caster higher means you can run less camber (for example 7 caster means you can run youre front tyres camber around -1.2, setting caster to 5.6 probably means needing front camber to -1.6 or more) more caster means you’re tyre is more upright which means better grip in slower corners.

If you choose to ignore caster, start by adjusting front camber, adjust this until you get the best grip from your front tyres, the more oversteer the better, this can be corrected later by adjusting everything at the rear.

Now adjust rear camber, caster has no bearing on rear camber, i find for most cars rear camber of about 1.8 is adequate, if running adjustable rear aero then lower is better, maybe -1.7 or -1.6

Toe - don’t really need to adjust this initially, if your car is a bit squirelly whilst acellerating then toe in at the back 0.2 can sort it out, if it’s unpredictable turning then toe in at the front 0.2 can sort it out, if turn in is sluggish then toe out at the front 0.2 can help sort it.

Springs - you want to set your ride height to minimum and then watch the telemetry, if your car bottoms out stiffen the springs, if no amount of stiffening stops it bottoming then raise ride height by 1 point, rinse and repeat until you get the lowest ride height with springs adjusted so it doesn’t bottom out.

Damping i don’t really know the technical gubbins behind it, i know that i start by setting bump and rebound evenly, so if rebound it around 5.6 and 5.8 then i set them both to 5.6 or 5.8, bump damping i always set to 1.0 for both, really low bump damping allows the car to ride over kerbs without being thrown about all over the place. After this i reduce front rebound if i need better corner entry and exit.

Aero - i begin by setting both to maximum and then start reducing rear aero until it starts to oversteer, there’s no sense having more rear aero than is necessary as it just slows the car on the straights.

Braking i like to move the bias rearwards to allow trail braking, i often start at 46% rear, if the car starts to lose the back end under braking i set it then to 47, if again i set to 48 etc etc until braking is good, for braking pressure its personal preferance, i like 120% but it depends how well you can control your brakes.

Differential -

This one can seem complicated.

On Front wheel drive differentials the accel setting should be at a max of about 30%, decel setting should always be 0%

On rear wheel drive differentials it gets trickier, you basically want to set the accel setting as high as you can without inducing on-throttle oversteer, to test this it’s best to turn traction control on even if you drive with it off, it’s a good test to see if you’re oversteering on the throttle.
Decel setting you want to set as low as possible without encountering lift off oversteer.
On Rear wheel drive tunes i tend to start at about 75% accel and 10% decel and tweak from there.

AWD diffs are the hardest, best to start with the settings from FWD, i don’t like going higher than 30% accel on the front, sometimes i can go as low as 15-20%, front decel setting is always 0
On the rear setting on AWD differentials i like to start around 90% accel, and 0% decel, the fact it’s AWD counters the effects of lift of and on throttle oversteer.
For the torque split you want as much going to the front as you can get away with, this helps with traction off the line and out of corners, i’d expect to see anything from a 55% to 75% rear, agin if you’re understeering send the torque rearwards.

And lastly, if you need more oversteer and the differential settings make no difference then try softening the front arbs and springs, likewise if you’ve got oversteer and the differential can’t sort it out try softening the rear arbs and springs.

And that’s basically it really.
