maybe. I will have to buy a new router/make a bridge but I bet I can get it to work. We will see I will make a car and post it in the garrage even if I can't make it

Surprisingly we haven't had a Javelin the series yet, just a crapton of Mustangs and Camaros. Shame too, that's such a classic livery.

Unfortunately I'll be away for the next two weekends, but I need a lot more practice to get to your guys' level anyway.

I think your problem was your car wasn't tuned up enough for the Motegi race, match the target times in the pre-race posts and you should be good for the remainder of the series. It was kinda a shitty situation you got the short end of the stick on that week with the track change, it won't happen again.

SVTyler > Cherry_man1 02/10/2015 at 18:11

Sweet, get it going man, might even make it in time for the practice session on Friday.

If (and it's a big 'if') everyone actually makes an effort to drive clean we should be fine. We were here in GT cars last season and had no problems, last week was just retarded.

A 1:45? I couldn't break 1:50 in the practice session after the race Saturday. That said, THE SHRIMP was still set up for Le Mans. Either way I might end up at A550. Maybe this would be a good race to use the '69 Firebird Trans Am (which is lighter, more powerful, more torquey, wider tires, etc. than the Camaro and is still slightly slower).

I had max downforce and -1-degree camber (#stancelyfe yo) and was reliably lapping in the 1:45's, I think you and the shrimp just suck.

TheHondaBro > SVTyler 02/10/2015 at 18:30

I have a suggestion: make the races time-based. Stagger the starts and then the winner is the one who did the fastest lap.

SVTyler > TheHondaBro 02/10/2015 at 18:38

0

That takes away the fun of racing with other people then, like that's no different than just straight hot-lapping. Besides that it misses the point of the BoP adjustments: the guys who win races are the ones who lap consistently and make passes at the right time, not the dude who had a Senna at Monaco lap when we was in 7th place. I'm just going to pretend like last week didn't happen and hope that people have learned their lesson.

TheHondaBro > SVTyler 02/10/2015 at 18:40

Got it. I'm pretty sure my Challenger is just right, but I'll detune my Abarth.

SVTyler > TheHondaBro 02/10/2015 at 18:47

If you wanna get tuning the Abarth early I ran a rough 1:41.5 at Road America so I'd imagine the final time would be 1:41.

I'm still bitter about the Series we had this summer when I was leading the race at sebring and got plowed into in the second turn.

SVTyler > Biggus Dickus (RevsBro) 02/10/2015 at 19:01

I remember that and yeah I'd be pissed off too, that shit happened way too often in that series which is why I'm being such a dick this time around getting people to drive properly. It's working, we haven't had any major first-turn crashes like we had every race last season and apart from last week it's been worlds better so if you ever get another 360 or fix your old one we'd love to have you back. Like I said these races have been so much better.

SVTyler > Biggus Dickus (RevsBro) 02/10/2015 at 19:05

Also racing's a hell of a lot closer. BoP adjustments are working out just fine.

Can't blame you one bit, these series are the only reason I still have my 360. We'll move on once Forza 6 comes out but for now we're milking 4 for all its worth.

I think I'm gonna try sometime this month to set up and configure a forum for the series. It'll probably make things easier on all of us. Also, it's been over a month since I made that post asking to be able to post directly to Oppo, and I still haven't heard back.

In other news, I was trying to look at what I set for a time for Infineon from a practice run after the race Saturday...and I think my saved replays might be corrupted. All of them.

This makes me extremely sad. I looked like I might be acquiring a capture card in the near future, and would finally be able to upload vids though capture instead of in 30 second snippets uploaded to the storefront.

...God damnit...That's was all the stuff I had since 2011. All the Group J races I was in, the Cat & Mouse games, JBR Racing, random fun with friends, practice sessions, single-player races...over 400 videos. Gone.

I can't seem to break the 1:45.xx barrier. I can do 1:46.0xx, but those last few hundredths of a second elude me. The skinnier tires really limit the 'Cuda, but I love everything else about it.

SVTyler > Desu-San-Desu 02/10/2015 at 22:47

Are you on max tire width? Because the A550 requirement is only for a baseline lap and from there you adjust PI.

SVTyler > RoboRed "The road to hell is paved with overturned Vanduras" 02/11/2015 at 03:00

That fucking sucks dude, is it all corrupted? Cuz i think there's a way you can look through individual files to see if they are not, maybe some were saved. Either way that blows, I've always wanted to have some videos of our races up on YouTube.

And if you want to set something like a forum or whatever up that'd be awesome. I don't know why the mods approve some people and ignore others but it happens, maybe try asking again or asking a different mod?

It didn't, that's been how we've been doing it since the start of the season. If you're slower than the target time you can add upgrades, though the 426 Hemi-powered cars are the only ones that let you do tires after A550 since they're so powerful to begin with. It's actually working out really well, here's our times from Le Mans:

If THE SHRIMP sucks, then how could it possibly keep up with your 400+ hp weakling with only 320 hp? And out corner it. And look better. And sound better (ok I'll admit this one is more of a possibility than a fact).

Because my Mustang is so godly I've had to neuter it to the point of near death so as to not humiliate you all every weekend. You puny mortals couldn't even comprehend the full power of the Mustang, it would drive you all to insanity just being in the presence of such greatness. And also because Forza makes absolutely no sense, like there's no freaking way the Camaro is that good with the stats it has. I'm beginning to think T10 has a GM bias.

I see that you neglected to mention that Camaroboy and his Camaro are higher than you in points. I would be up there too if Le Mans didn't have bumps that tried to send your car to space if you go off the track.

Have those bumps ever done something like that in real life or is it just a Fourza thing?

They've bounced cars around irl but nothing like they do in Fourza, just look up some Le Mans crash compilations and you'll see a few. Instead of the breadsticks like they had in the past they now have this ring of kerbing around the corner so it's just one bump instead of like three or four.

Nice to see you guys taking my suggestion. I've since joined the ranks of PC racing, but glad to know my GroupJ legacy lives on

Yeah this series has been a blast so far, especially with the rules we got in place. I'd love to get iRacing if I had a PC for it but for now Fourza's still going strong, we've actually got another series in the works after this one that should take us all the way up to the release of Forza 6. Dunno if you kept your 360 but if you ever get nostalgic you can always drop by man.

Nah, 550 was just kind of the average PI we were expecting to have, build your car to whatever PI you need to to meet 1:45 and you should be good.

Desu-San-Desu > SVTyler 02/11/2015 at 19:18

Sitting at like, 576 now. Still can't seem to get any faster than 1:45.480.

SVTyler > Desu-San-Desu 02/11/2015 at 19:24

0

Just keep adding PI until you get there. The lap time's all that matters so whatever number you need to reach it is totally fine. Let me know what PI you end up at, you're the second dude to have difficulty reaching 1:45, may have to walk it back if it's too quick.

Desu-San-Desu > SVTyler 02/11/2015 at 20:00

I just ran the lap of my life and did 1:44.671. I'll remove something to try and bring it back down a little bit.

As far as I know, yes. It wasn't earlier.

Here's what happened. After you mentioned the target time for the race this weekend, I hopped on my xbox. I had run a quick race on Infineon with some of the leftover guys from last Saturday, using our Trans-Am cars. I don't remember what time I got, but I saved my replay because I knew I could I would be looking at it again later for data. I was still using the same tune from Le Mans, and wondered if I needed to do anything.

Anyways, before I went to load the video, I remembered that I was trying to start getting in the habit of actually naming my replays again (I only knew I had over 400 vids because I kept saving them under the default "Forza###"). I had named the one from Race 2 of Oppo Trans-Am, but I needed to do the third one at Le Mans. I went and renamed it, then looked back and realized I didn't match it with the naming convention I had set for Race 2. So I went back and fixed it. After that, I went to play the race at Infinion.

"This file is corrupted and cannot be played."

...

Oh. Fuck.

Then I went to try and load any of the other vids, starting with Race 3.

"This file is corrupted and cannot be played."

Double Fuck.

I went and jumped backwards though older replays and tried again. Same message. So, I figured maybe the xbox was having a bad day. I've had it for a few years. But it has its hiccups (like me no longer being able to play Halo 4 despite the disc being in immaculate condition...). So I opened the home menu and closed out the game, figuring that if just tried loading the game again and giving it time to "spin things up" as it were, it would load the replays just fine. So I loaded the game, waited, and went over to the replays section...and got stuck with an endless loading screen.

I tried once more, and left it for about an hour, and was still stuck on the loading screen. I've also tried moving the data off my hard drive to a thumbstick (it didn't list the file as corrupted in the Storage page), but it gave a message saying it failed for an unknown error. I can't move it to the cloud because it's larger than the available cloud space.

The one thing I haven't tried yet is saving new replay data, hoping maybe it'll set things straight. Well, actually I tried, ish. But I messed that up because I tried moving my save data into the cloud, and when I tried saving a new replay, it also saved that in the cloud. Anyways, I had already spent about an hour trying stuff, and I've just been waiting for a time when I'm NOT doing schoolwork (which is not now, but I just had to type this explanation up), and I don't need to spend time doing other stuff which'll only make me lose sleep over the situation (and I DID lose sleep that night over it. Not something I need going on with having work in the morning).

So yeah, that's my sad story right now. But I hope it might have a happy ending.

Bit of Googling seems to indicate that kind of problem can be caused by only one corrupt file, not that all of them are corrupt and lost forever. Don't know what that error message you got means for the replay but if it showed up as un-corrupted then maybe that lends credence to the idea it's just one thing causing it all. Maybe check all the individual replay files in your hard drive?

RoboRed "The road to hell is paved with overturned Vanduras" > SVTyler 02/12/2015 at 21:43

Replays can't be viewed individually on the Storage view - it's singled out as a separate chunk. Same with pics, videos, tunes, etc.

Still, this leaves more hope that adding a new one onto the stack might cause everything to go right again, or at least give me the opportunity to root out the problem vid. It's likely that the bad one is either the one I renamed, or the Infineon test run.

I wish there was a way to directly view data on consoles. I'm an IT student, goddamnit. I NEED to be able to do these sorts of things. I don't want your goddamn candy-flavored grouped-item interface, MS. (/rant)

Wut. Forza's upgrade system makes no sense sometimes, I've added one level of tire width and gained back a second per lap, like wtf is this shit. You can't even base your lap times off of PI really, you have to actually lap the car to see how fast it really is.

Didn't work. I went online later in a random lobby and tried to save the replay. The moment I clicked it, it went into an endless "Saving. Please do not turn off the console." screen, with the AI races running in the background.

Well, I'm going to start a new replay file on either my Forza thumbdrive, or the cloud. I don't want to delete my old data and there are ways to get it off there, but they involve modding and third-party software. Sooo, that's something for the future. I'm not giving up hope.

In the meantime, behold: the last picture from my old replay file. The "IndyCar" series that I wanted to show Corey.

SVTyler > RoboRed "The road to hell is paved with overturned Vanduras" 02/13/2015 at 23:51

I'd just go thumb drive, I don't trust any technology like that. And that series looks really interesting, what are some specifics about it?

RoboRed "The road to hell is paved with overturned Vanduras" > SVTyler 02/14/2015 at 00:35

0

Spec series. The idea was that Ferrari 312s were the closest cars in Forza to F1/Indy Cars of that time period. Slightly upgraded including sport tires and rear aero (don't remember all the upgrades, but I'm positive my 312 is still running the same configuration from that series). Run on various ovals and tracks, mostly ones that IRL Indy runs on or once ran on. Grid pattern set by time trial. Two part races. Rolling starts.

Fun race series, but the guy running it added a little too much realism to it. (FTR, he's the one in that blue Sunoco 312) Time trials took a while, rolling starts were kind of a pain in the ass. Also, not many people can handle R2 class cars very well. Wouldn't mind doing it again under a different setup. That car is a blast.

I wonder sometimes what mathematical witchcraft they put together to calculate the PI system...

SVTyler > RoboRed "The road to hell is paved with overturned Vanduras" 02/14/2015 at 14:27

I think if we mere mortals tried to comprehend the inner machinations of the PI system we would go mad from the revelation. It is not meant for humans to understand, only to obey.

SVTyler > RoboRed "The road to hell is paved with overturned Vanduras" 02/14/2015 at 14:28

That actually sounds like a really cool idea, but like you said R2 cars can be a bit of a handful. That being said I'd like to do what we're doing this season where we run two series at the same time, one faster and one slower, and the 312 series could actually be a lot of fun.

I mean, you've got an hour if you'd like to try, I bet you could get it done (20 minutes hooking everything up, 5 to set up a car, and the rest of the time to test it out). Just use this upgrade guide to build a car, it's basically just all handling upgrades plus a few engine mods to get to 550 and from there take a few laps and add or subtract PI to meet our lap time of 1:45 this week at Infineon.

Well that sucks. Not sure what the used game market is like in the UK but here in the States I picked up a copy a few months ago for the equivalent of 15 pounds, might be a worthwhile investment since we've got another series coming up after these two end in June so racing will go all the way up to Christmas.

It makes perfect sense. Getting rid of power kept you from over whelming the grip the car has, less time spinning your tires and going side ways, more time accelerating and going fast.

Yeah this race was the best one yet, except for how I ran into you and Corey every other turn. Sorry about that. As far as capture goes fuck yeah, can't wait to actually have videos of the races. Any idea when your build might be done? Not to rush obviously but is it something you could finish by the next A550 race?

It depends on a few things. 1) How busy I am, 2)When the remaining parts arrive, and I'm not ordering them until my next paycheck, & 3) How the weather is. It's a personal thing really, but I hate doing computer work in the winter, where everything is full of static and nastiness. I'm paranoid that something's gonna fuck up even if I take all the necessary precautions.

Most likely "no".

I hope Cherry can get his stuff sorted out before then.

which infineon did you do, currently I'm 5 seconds off the pace time on the indy route but that's before tinkering, if for whatever reason I can't reach the time do I add power even if it puts me over 550?

Full course, and 550 is just the staring PI number, add however many upgrades you need to to reach the 1:45 mark irrespective of PI. Don't know if you're planning on racing in the B450 series too but the time this week at Road Atlanta is 1:40, and I imagine the A550 cars would be around 1:33 if you'd like to test your cars out at our next tracks.

hmm well I've already got my car and livery chosen for the B series, just needs tuning to make the 1.40, just doing my A class livery on a car I never heard of before :D

Yeah which car you using? It'll be nice to have something other than Mustangs and Camaros.

That's actually one of the better cars in the series, with a bit of tuning you should be right up there with us. We have practice sessions every Friday if you'd like to hop on and join, they're kind of late for your time (around 11pm) but it'd be good practice to get used to driving with other dudes if you haven't raced online in a while.

yeah I checked through all of the cars to find the stats I liked the most then went with the car I liked the look of best out of my choices (other ones in the final 3 were the GTO and early Nova SS)

11pm should be fine as I play 5 a side football until about 9pm so gives me chance to relax a little bit first, has numbers been assigned as I have given myself #86 on my livery for the cuda

Awesome, hope to see you there. And 86 is fine, we don't really have a number system so any one you choose is OK.

ok cool as my b class is likely to have a different number as I downloaded a livery for that rather than make it

That's fine too. What car did you pick and what livery?
