Yeah, those are some good points. I am also big on the cockpit view and I hate when the car's speedometer is in km/h. That is the deciding factor a lot of time whether or not I buy a car lol.

I pre-ordered it just after they announced it. I wasn't planning on wasting time on the demo but I want to get a feel for the driving physics. I still play Forza 6 and Horizon 3 with my 8yr old son so I want to see how the physics have changed if any.

The 7 demo does feel different than games past, but I can't exactly place why. It's a welcome change though, and has me excited for the 29th.

A bit more mechanical grip? That's my biggest gripe

I would say it has less. If my memory is serving me correctly, the Porsche in the demo was very prone to loss of traction. Maybe it's because it's the demo, or maybe because it's an extreme car. Either way, the simulated lag and power coming in all at once didn't help.

I was also abusing the demo as an arcade game, so rolling into the throttle in lower gears as you would in real life (or a stickier tire) would also probably help.

Ahh well that's not good, lack of turn in grip was too little and the tail was just too happy on braking in F6. I won't be happy if that's even worse haa. Also what wheel/pedals do you use?

On the Xbox one and a Samsung 4k on gaming mode I still have quite a bit of lag on the wheel and the wheel in the cockpit view. My buddies fanatec wheel on iracing has zero lag. I wonder if that's tv, wheel or Xbox problem

It's more than likely your TV. Just using common numbers here, so don't read too far into this comparison, but it's relevant and applies.

Samsung 32" 4K TV @ 120Hz will perform noticeably different (read: worse) than a Samsung 32" 4K PC monitor @ 120Hz. It's something about how they're built differently internally, but that's above my pay grade. Lol

For Forza, since I treat it as a more realistic arcade-type game (I never race competitively outside of career mode), I'm using a standard Xbox One controller.

Also have a vanilla XB1. Shit

There isn't a decision to make. If you buy it for one you have access to the other automatically

Coworker got the disc version today and has been playing.

Dudes a semi pro in racing games and says its hard as shit playing on unbeatable. Best he could do was 9th place, usually getting 11th.
He said the first update made the game "much much easier".

I believe tonight at midnight the game becomes live for play if you bought the Ultimate Edition. I'll start the download when I get home and probably pull a very late night.

I royally messed up in buying this thing exclusively for early access, but I'm leaving for the beach Friday night. Lol

Anyone buying the standard edition and want a VIP Membership code? It's worth $20. I think it's a car pack and some other in game benefits. I won it via the Xbox Rewards Virtual Key Instant Win and Sweepstakes. I'm buying the Ultimate edition and won't be needing it. Shoot me a PM, first come, first served.

@C0bra99 took it home. If I get anymore shit I don't need, I'll post it up.

I pulled trigger on ultimate as well, downloaded the game Tuesday and tried just about everything to play the game. Change DNS, advance time to next day, still can’t play. Even changing time to Kiritimati wherever the hell that is, still can’t play it yet.

The dodge demon is a let down, well a let down after driving the hoonigan car.

Turn 10 needs to get on proper stadium truck racing. I selected Trophy Trucks for my first series and the monologue got me all excited when they mentioned jumps only to find out it's the same ol' same ol'.

Has anyone else noticed that the AI are complete pushovers? I haven't tried unbeatable yet but I might as well be free-racing instead of the Pro Setting.

Just played on XB1 and it's a definite improvement in the physics dept.

My PC download randomly stopped at almost 70GB last night, so there's that.
