Hi,
I love the Forza franchise and have been a vivd gamer since the original Forza Motorsport on the original Xbox. I have always loved every aspect of Forza but there has always been 1 thing that I believe to be missing. That is the ability to tune a vehicle’s Engine Control Unit. Change fuel mapping, timing, boost (if applicable) all other aspects too. Custom tune your OWN vehicle on a Dyno. Even if its as simple as the system Need For Speed offered in Underground 2. Along with that though, I’d love to see catastrophic engine failure if you don’t tune it right or push it too much (like running 30psi boost on stock internals and such) Please, please, PLEASE bring that into Forza 7. Or if its too late to put it in this one, Put it in Horizon 4 or Forza 8.
Regards, Elliott
While I would enjoy the engine tuning quite a bit myself. I dont really see how it could be inplemented so, that casual player, would know how to work with it.
It would give massive advantage for those who understand about cars and engines, but it could end up being massive hinderance for average player, specially if he thinks he knows something, but in reality he doesnt.
I don’t think this would be any more complicated than understanding camber, caster, toe, stiffness and rebound. If someone wants to learn a quick paragraph description would cover the basics and trial and error would cover the rest. Making it realistic and balancing the PI would be more difficult. But learning how to tune an engine is no more complicated than suspension adjustments.
Besides, most “casual” players will be downloading tunes anyway. If they don’t want to understand it a baseline upgrade only path could symbolize a “conservative” tune that balances between power, fuel economy, and dependability. The tunes can increase one area with losses in other areas.
But like the OP said this only works well if the game implements failures as well. Otherwise we’d all be running 99psi fuel injectors with 40 pounds of boost at 12,000 RPM because it would always win.
