Seriously, I don’t want to be stuck with the R18, R15++, and Peugout 908 Le Mans cars when I do an endurance race. I was waiting to do the Daytona 300 in hopes the TS040 or the GTR LM would be usable, but they aren’t. What’s even stranger is the fact that I see these cars in the race when I go to attempt the race. Even the Ford Daytona Prototype is in the race with the rest of the DLC cars, why would they make those cars race but not make those cars usable? It literally in every way makes no sense what so ever.
Turn10, please fix this. From someone who likes to do these events.
Freeplay doesn’t tick the boxes for showcase events though, so it really isn’t fixed. DLC cars should be allowed in all ‘career’ events. I wouldn’t count freeplay as the solution
Free play is limited to 50 laps so for ovals that is not enough. Also, that particular pre-war grand prix showcase was pretty fun, the one with the Auto Union Type D and the Maserati 8CTF. But you can’t drive the DLC Mercedes-Benz W154 there either and there is no possible way to set up a similar event because these cars don’t belong to a division. Turn 10 should really fix this, the showcases are the most fun single player experience this game has to offer.
That’s not the point. The fact is these cars aren’t in these races for us to USE, but when we actually enter the event, these cars are being driven by A.I. drivers. Why do they get to race and use these cars but we can’t? This should really be fixed, it’s been nearly 6 months and they still haven’t fixed this.
I don’t now why you think Free Play has been fixed at all. Turn 10 added Divisions to Free Play and that caused even more problems and limitations. It is not possible to recreate the showcase events when most of the settings needed don’t exist in Free Play. Turn 10 needs to add a lot of setting to Free Play and put DLC and orphaned cars in a Division so they can be used in all parts of the game.
It is so troubling that players are still coming to this forum to report things that shouldn’t be problems or features that shouldn’t be missing in a racing game. Please fix these issues Turn 10. I love Forza but you are making it hard to stay in love.
I’m seriously confused why people keep asking this question. Just like all events, Turn 10 give you a choice of cars you can use. That’s it. This is not the career mode where you get to choose whatever car you want in a certain category. It’s just a simple choice of a few diffent cars that Turn 10 have chosen for you to use in each event. I’m sure it’s so you choose and use different cars than you most likely would normally choose, but that’s just a guess on my part. There is no “fix” needed. It’s meant to be that way.
Yes, they give you a choice. I love the LMP cars. What I’m confused on and what you totally missed was the fact that they aren’t adding the DLC cars they add in into these events to choose from. You literally race against A.I. using these DLC cars. If the A.I. can use them, why can’t we? That’s what I’m saying should be fixed.
I haven’t totally missed anything. What you’re confused on is, it doesn’t matter that cars were added to the game. The options of what you have to race are set. Those are the cars you get to use. Nothing needs to be fixed.
That’s like saying IRL you get an invite to a classic Fords showcase event around Silverstone for Eras of 1960-1980 but you are not allowed to use the MK1 Escort (like in game with the F+F6 cars), you can’t use the capri Mk1, you can’t use the Ford Falcon 73 and you can’t use the Ford Bronco…but when you arrive, you see people racing in them with you but you are now allowed to of had that choice with NO REASON given to you upon entry, this would never happen, nor should it in games.
I am sorry but saying “these are the options, deal with it” when the AI is allowed greater, more diverse options is just plain bizzare and I have no idea why you’d welcome such limitations in let’s not forget, IS A GAME!
On PC, this would not happen. This is why I am hoping in the future PC verisons allow fully editable and customizable races for max enjoyment, pointless limits in games are wrong, taking away choice from the player with no reason is wrong…for my personally, cutting out nearly over TWO DOZEN VEHICLES that I WANT to use in career, but can’t, is the worst thing they have done on top of being unable to re-create it in this so called “freeplay” mode.
I can appreciate period limits, age limits, speed limits, power limits, brand limits and all that…what I can’t, is the AI being allowed and the player not, and cutting out nearly more than 5% of the cars in career which with this many cars in game, is a lot, especially if they are your favourites.
So if I’m getting your point right, it goes something like this. Showcase event gives you any Lamborghini to race with. T10 adds in a DLC Lamborghini, but that Lamborghini can’t be used. That makes no sense. How does that make sense? Explain it for me, please.
The Toyota TS040 literally races in real life against the R18 E-Tron. So does the Porsche 919. The Peugeot 908 hasn’t competed in 3 rears if I recall, and the model we have in FM6 is 2 years older than it’s latest model. Same with the R15++. Matter of fact, the R15++ is open cockpit, something that hasn’t been in LMP1 for years. If they put older cars in, how come none of the other LMP cars are able to be used? Say, the Bentley, the other Audi R18, Matmut Peugeot, etc. So how come we get older cars to use that shouldn’t even be there, but we don’t get DLC cars that race in real life against the only car that still races out of the 3 we get? Same with the GT3 cars. Why can’t we use the Maserati? Or Pre WW2 grand prix cars like someone mentioned with the Mercedes.
I get your point. The cars are fixed. But if those cars are fixed and that’s all we are supposed to get, why do I race against these DLC cars in these races if I’m not supposed to use them? How is that right?
Why are you not seeing this problem? These cars should be in these races, why is everyone so against it? People on the internet just hate to lose, you can’t admit these cars should be in these races? There shouldn’t have even been anything said, these cars should be able to be used.
If your opinion is that DLC cars should be added to the car choices in Showcase events please use the Features Wish List thread which is pinned at the top of the forum for this purpose.
