Update 15.0 Overview - Australia Month | Dec. 9 content update

Got a few issues with this:

  • The Endurance Series isn’t descriptive enough. It should specify what divisions are being used for each respective week.
  • The Road to Race Series doesn’t specify what types of car will be used.

Fixed an issue where AI drivers were unaffected by a wet track during events with variable weather conditions. [1750188]

@T10ManteoMax could you confirm if this also impacts the predicted lap time in the Fuel and Tyre menu? These times didn’t get affected by wet conditions either.

I stand corrected then. So its not a bug, the fix never fixed it and more than a year later its still an issue. Ridiculous

Can’t do anything but welcome Bathurst to the game. :green_circle:

I’m probably overly familiar with the ‘new’ cars but, sure, look, they’re alright. :yellow_circle:

Deeply disappointed that I still can’t transfer vinyls from Horizon. :red_circle:

these r new?that fd is in fh4 n 5 i guess…

If you mean “new to forza”, then i think only 1 road car is new, or maybe none of them are new. :thinking:
I thought you said "new to forza motorsport reboot ".
By the way, next month’s theme is BMW!
really expect V8 LMDh to come! :smiling_face_with_tear:

Nice. Mebbe we’ll see the Z4 GT3 return.

“Mebbe”

:laughing::rofl:

The truth is that I was expecting the gen3 supercars, some GT3 or even some surprise like the Aussie Racing Cars, a good update to say goodbye to the year in a positive way, but it seems that my expectations were too high. And even though the track is in my top 3, the content of the update is poor enough to motivate me to play with the current state of the game.
I hope they are saving cars to surprise with the 20th anniversary, but let’s see how the game gets to those dates.

Another reason to stop playing, at least on pc. The game itself limits you on what you can do or play. Months ago I bought quite a few cars and downloaded some rivals setups of all classes for open events, since with this Forza, I like to play in any class (is the best thing about the game, the handling and behavior of the cars), but since then I can’t download anymore.

It says that I have 250 tunings of 450 but it’s impossible to download tunings, or get them from other users in the lobbies.
I can’t even delete some tunings created by me or by the game directly even if they are not applied, I have to sell the car and buy a new one, access to my tunes and now, I can delete it.

Because of course, there is no option to view all the tunings together as the designs. And not to mention the terrible waiting time loading those menus. Honestly, something totally ridiculous to see in a game of this caliber.

They finally split the Forza GTs. It’s very good.

Maybe they will split GTX cars in the future :thinking::crossed_fingers:

I heard that iracing is working on a new AI and partners up with microsoft for this. Hope we get our fingers first on the new one.

better work on your expectations. its a thing for your whole life. No one is whilling to gift you all the thinks you wish for free. Hard lesson to learn.

yeah n m4 gt3…

I’m one of those who strives to get what they want, but I appreciate your advice.
Personally though, I can’t compare the expectations of a game to real life, and I don’t think it’s erring on the side of naivety to expect three cars. The Porsche GT3 R (Forza Horizon 5) and the Chevrolet and Mustang gen3 (same models as Nascar if I’m not wrong ).

And well, they were just expectations, not that I took it for granted, although if I’m being honest, I’d rather have bug fixes and some gameplay changes that make the game more enjoyable than any new content.

Gen3 Supercars are completely different to NextGen NASCAR…

I would honestly keep expectations low. They have missed the mark on adding certain race cars for particular updates plenty of times over the past year. We can only hope but im not betting we get any race cars with update 16.

So. Picture this. Got a 997 GT3 right. Tuned to A700 ( by your automatic tuner upgrade thingy ). Enter in the open class A tour in career. Difficulty 5 w/ club rules. First race is great. Felt fine. I win. Fairly easily. 2nd race and cars start running away from me and I look to see what their PI is, they’re about 30pts lower than A700. They got race slicks and all that. I don’t. So I go back to the tuning menu and build my own. Starting with race slicks. Build the rest from there. Go back in to the 2nd race and they’re STILL running away from me. All kitted out with race slicks and the whole 9 I’m guessing.

I get in a battle on the straight with some drivatar in a Camaro FE. We’re neck 'n neck right. Then he gets a boost of speed outta nowhere. Just rockets past me and takes the turn like he’s on rails.

So then I get curious. Try again at difficulty 4. I notice that they can’t take turns as fast, but they’re still rockets in the straights.

Then I try 3. Similar deal. Can’t turn as fast, but still rockets in the straights. 2 about the same. Can’t turn as well as 3, but still rockets in the straights.

So I figure let’s give 1 a shot. Can’t take turns at all, but still rockets in the straights.

What even is this?! This what you call good Ai programming? Afraid not. In order to win these races at 4+ difficulty level I have to sacrifice my slicks down to semi-slicks and give this build all the power it can take up to A700. THEN place myself in 3rd. Even then it was a struggle. This is ridiculous. 5 difficulty shouldn’t be this difficult. I don’t even want to see what 6,7 or 8 is about. And I’m not a bad driver. Getting 9s and 10s in these sections all day long. Fastest lap out of this whole field of drivatars. I just don’t see what good this does anyone. They see the drivatars with slicks and all kitted out with all the race gear yet when they upgrade their cars to the same stuff, they’re still getting walked by these things. Not cool devs. Not cool at all.

Oh dear, looking at this pre-2010 Bathurst after playing Forza… it hurts :sweat_smile:

Cars look (and sound) very good though, and I’m sure they’d be a blast to drive :slight_smile:

Yeah that’s the thing with iracing.

The graphics SUUUUUUUCK so bad I don’t know how anyone stomachs playing it.

Thousands and thousands spent on a high end rig for that kind of experience. Yuck.

And it will always be that way too.
