I did 3 races last night in the A class series, I got spun out 3 times in one race, finished last but still finished but I went and played ACC, losing the will with FM due to the pathetic penalty system. Also Nick what setup are you using for wheel etc?
@Blownpistonmotorsport3 күн бұрын
Yeah the Open lobbies can be a a brutal place to go sometimes, i tend not to venture too far into that side of FM, and because i don’t really know the meta cars either! If you mean like FFB settings i am mostly using Gamermucles settings with a few minor tweaks to road feel for places like Nurburgring so i can actually hold onto the wheel and stuff

I’ve recently adopted your strategy of starting from the back, or as close as I can. When I qualify I tend to be top 6 but after the first couple of corners and the shameful drivers usually find myself facing backwards anyway! I find it more enjoyable to watch the chaos unfold in front of me then get into some cleaner racing. Still baffles me how I’m pretty consistently S rated and around 4800 rated yet seem to end up in lobby’s with complete melts!

I did my first race here the other day and tried a 1 stop in the Civic. Got down to a sliver of tyre left but still had enough to finish 3rd. It helps that because of the G920 brake pedal I brake earlier than needed so I'm not too aggressive with wear. Next time I'm going medium though because the time you gain by pitting once is not enough to counter the faster lap times.
@Blownpistonmotorsport8 күн бұрын
Yeah the only car you can 1 stop on is the Lavorg really, can make the mediums last just to moderate in the closing part of the lap, i think stopping for softs every lap with the Lavorg is technically the faster strat though

It's a love/hate relationship with this game. I really like the driving in Forza. But once you race online, the crazy drivers just "drive" (pun intended) me up a wall. For every respectfull drive you'll find in an online race, you'll find 10 reckless children that think "rubbin is racin" applies. Case in point, Nick gets punted to narnia at the 5:02 mark of the video. The car who pushed him got a 2.25 second time penalty for the collision. But Nick gets sent to 9th place and loses about 7 seconds to the race leader, which is more than ufortunate, it's unfair.
@Blownpistonmotorsport9 күн бұрын
Yeah i get you, but honestly i don’t think FM is any worse than other sim games, the general multiplayer on ACC (not LFM/Seasons) is still very much a mixed bag, i have had punts and crashes in R3E and iRacing. I just try to remember that it means nothing at the end of the day and if i spend my day annoyed rather than enjoying the game I’m basically just wasting my time. Just trying to find enjoyment where i can :)
@VeNOM309912 күн бұрын
I've mentioned this before, but the addition of the Radar, although a great idea, is not really the reason why accidents were so rampant in FM. It's because many drivers don't care about a time penalty; so what if they get a 5 second penalty for a collision when they can get a podium finish anyways and send you as much as 25 seconds down the pack? Start dealing out position penalties for collisions. When people realize that they may end up dead last even though they barged their way to a top 3 on track, they'll start to actually drive like civilized people.
@Blownpistonmotorsport9 күн бұрын
Yeah i agree, but i would say that the radar is not for those guys, wreckers gunna wreck at the end of the day. What is does do is give people who are new and trying to learn another tool they can use to give space and lets them know where the car is when not visible on screen, that is who the radar is for in my opinion :)
