i know my voice in this community does not matter nor does my opinion either, but why do we need a storefront? if you dont know how to tune thats fine with me if you download a tune, but… were does the competition go when i know you downloaded a tune? Bye bye thats for sure. i dont know if there are old school players that realise the competitiveness has gone out the window completely. since the original day one storefront date i have seen competitive gaming on forza fall off this earth. if someone wants to be fast (oh just download a tune) if you dont know how to drag race and be fast… again download a tune. if you get my point thats great, if anyone feels the same way please post something.

The Storefront is a useful feature for content creators as they can tell people “go to this one place to get everything” rather than “get into this car, search for this, then get into this car, search for this”.
In any case it’s not present and unlikely to feature in Forza Motorsport 7. That’s a shame as it was one of my favourite features in Forza Horizon 3.

And that’s one of the many reasons why I miss Forza Motorsport 4
(I miss it even more than many of you, since burglars stole my copy of the game…along with other X360 games and the elite console itself)
No I don’t get your point, like, at all.
If you can tune, that’s fine with me (sounds familiar, right?), but being competitive is mainly about being able to compete with others DRIVING skills, being able drive that car with that tune…and do it in a clean way, respecting other drivers and the track limits.
“Lazy”…
I don’t care if you can drive AND tune AND paint AND take photos. If you do care, and you have to judge my ability to drive based on EVERYTHING, I really don’t know what to tell you.
If I can drive and respect others on track, the rest is really none of your business.
Thank you! This guy gets it.

I don’t mind sharing tunes and designs and see no harm in it and builds a sense of community. Also, I only really release a tune if I have tested it out and get a fairly consistent to very good lap time but I am sure that others could download it and kick my butt using it. There is a lot more to driving and competing in racing than the tune and not so many drivers these days have their heads stuck under the hood tweaking between rounds other than the more local level motorsport.

if someone downloads your tune and they beat you but then they talk smack to you wouldn’t you feel bothered by that?
Well its like this good on them and bring on the free advertising so people just know that my tunes are good enough for any moron to use. Ther is no better way to have your tunes permoted than by some one gloting just how well they did with it.
Don‘t you really think the game might have more pressing issues to look into ?

There is someone, somewhere, all of the time going to “talk smack”. My advice is focus on the positive influences in your life and ignore the negative.

Nope, I would tell them to go roll up my tune and stick it where the sun don’t shine. Life is too short to worry about keyboard warriors but for every one of them, there are many that will go get someone’s tune and enjoy it and that is what it is all about. If they hit the top of the leaderboard then that is great. Not everyone can tune a car which is reflected in some of my AH purchases but even then that is a gray area because did they tune it with assists on or off?..some or all? etc. By downloading tunes you can try a car stock then see what has improved and then tweak around in the upgrade/tune settings to try and learn to do it yourself and it helps considerably if you can get a gauge of what a good tune is. Then there will be those who just wish to drive without all the fuss messing with the cars and that is okay too.

One of the tunes I’ve shared has a description that basically says ‘I was hitting the top 5% or so on the leaderboards with this, but I’m sure a good MT driver could do far better with it’. I don’t care whether someone out performs me with my own tune. Kudos to them. My ego ain’t fragile enough to be shattered by such a thing.

Storefront was useful to see how many people downloaded your tunes or liveries without having to select a single car and go to the my tunes menu (this takes forever), i personally am missing this feature. I don’t see what this has to do with competitiveness. Not everyone in this game is in it for the top1 spot on leaderboards.
If anything it would give you more incentive to beat him, if you are actually competitive…Right? Doesn’t have to mean your tune is good perse, but the driver skill of the other guy is better than yours at that certain moment.

You be better off saying to remove upgrades and tuning from the game completely.
But if you are saying your competitive edge over others is your tune instead of everyone’s own driving skills.
Then that’s just having an advantage, and doesn’t necessarily set the stage for competition, as for all you know, others could have a superior tune.
And by your logic, if having the superior tune is the key to having a competitive edge, if that was true, then for everyone else there’s really no point racing against them anymore.
But in the end, driving skills do matter, as not everyone wins even when they download the same tune.

Tune sharing is great.
Even if I don’t download tunes, I can browse other’s and check out how much hp or weight or handling they’ve managed to put in.
This gives me a good idea on how to make a homogolated build for that car that performs or drives well.

By extension of the “lazy” argument, anyone who doesn’t grow their own food and make their own clothes is lazy.
If your complaint is that you’re getting beaten by a more skilled player who’s using your own equipment on the same playing field, then maybe competitive sports isn’t the genre for you.

yes it is but i’m figuring out they made campaign for this very reason and i can’t thank T10 enough for this feature thats for sure. i’m slowly figuring out that playing with randoms in multiplayer is for the birds.
I used to feel this way about tunes, and I still wouldn’t be caught dead using someone else’s tune in a competitive race. But every now and then I get a message from someone who’s using one of my tunes, simply just to say that they like it. That feels good, knowing that the hard work you put in is being appreciated by someone else.
At the end of the day, people will play the way they want to. I think a lot of players dismiss tuning before even trying it, but they’re not obligated to learn. Judging people for downloading tunes is more than likely just looking for an excuse for why they are faster than you.

I’m sure if a race engineer tuned a race car, then the driver went out and set a lap record said race engineer would be extatic about it, like this . Likewise in forza, if I made a tune and set a good lap and somebody DL my tune and beats my time or sets a record, I would take that on board and boast my skills as a tuner, not dis the driver for being lazy.
Some people race, some people tune, just because you do both does not automatically make you better than anyone else, period.

Driver skill will always trump a tune. Just because you download a front page tune, doesn’t mean you are going to be quick. The bullshit I here on line, it’s the car/tune fault, never their lack of talent.
