FORZA 3 MOTORSPORT NEWS INFORMATION XBOX HINTS TIPS AND TRICKS

Archive for the ‘HINTS, TIPS AND TRICKS’ Category

In these two new videos, F1 driver Stephane Sarrazin and Takata time attack driver James Elterman discuss the level of realism Turn 10 has packed into Forza Motorsports 3.

The story of James Elterman finding a cheap livery designer via the Forza community forums is inspiring, but I’m much more interested in watching Peugeot 908 Le Mans driver Stephane Sarrazin take a drive through courses he’s raced on in cars he’s familiar with. The fact that he can hop onto the game and clock a time one millisecond over his actual race time is simply mind-boggling.

The graphics, presentation and racing elements in Forza III are second to none-truly first rate. That is why it is such a colossal shame to see the game ruined by a flawed economic model. Before delving into the detail, let’s first agree on why many of us buy and play auto racing simulators. We like to buy and win cool cars. We like deciding between spending our money on tires or a turbo. We like to push the boundaries of physics with upgrades and tweaks.

We love the realism–especially when the car’s looks and handling can be modified to infinite degrees. We like to win. We enjoy the freedom of doing whatever the hell we want, from drifting to drag racing…from frantically leveling up to attempting to win the game with as few vehicles as possible. And more recently, we have come to like the online experience, where multiplayer racing has been joined by the purchase and sale of all manner of in-game products. And that’s where the story starts. In the olden days, when people walked to school through the snow barefoot (up-hill both ways), game developers had complete control over their games.

No online play meant that there were no variables to worry about, and games were finite. A $1 million car was hard to save for. Desirable cars could only be won via winning certain races. Things were challenging in the olden days, and it took many hours to make your way from a grossly upgraded Skyline into something actually built to race. And that made it fun. In Forza III, I bought an Exige 240 cup car for $5K when I was only a few races in. A handful of races later, I bought a Dyson Mazda race car for $50,000. I then bought three tunes for the Mazda (R1, R2, R3) for $10K each (applying them required more saving, obviously). Here I was, having earned less than $100K in the game, with cars that are practically unbeatable (by the AI) in the races for which they are eligible.

All I did was go to the auction, scroll down, and rapidly hit RB-LB to get to the newly posted cars. Search for bargain buyouts, and…..done. That’s it. Rinse and repeat. I’ve barely played the game, and I’ve acquired all the game’s hottest cars (except the Peugeot…still working on that). Add in the fact that there are no real penalties to having the game brake for you (i.e. the hardest part of racing), the end result is the ability to pretty much keep the throttle pinned, and steer around the course. If that’s not boring enough, you can hire a driver, ramp up all the assists to 100% bonus, go for a snack, and come back to a tidy sum. And that is not fun. Not at all. Detractors will say “it’s all about racing. Go race. It’s fun to race.” I say it’s all about the paragraph above where we talk about why we play these games. I like the feeling of accomplishment I get from winning a race where I really had to try hard, and the prize is a car I really want.

Today that thrill comes from me seeing someone put a $50K buyout on a million dollar car at auction. My pappy (the same fellow who went to the very cold, elevation-challenged school with no footwear) told me that if I criticize something, I should do it constructively, so here is what I would have preferred to see: ◦Make a few kickass cars only accessible by winning a few really challenging games (i.e. not for sale, and not “auctionable”). In other words, you have to outright earn them. ◦Give all cars a minimum auction buyout/bid value. Maybe 50% of retail value? ◦Make auto brake very costly to use (it turns zeros to heroes) ◦Give me a reason to win races. A car for a prize would be nice. Level up cars are linear…I’d like to choose which one I win. ◦Give me more than 100cr for a car when I sell it. Otherwise, I post it for $5K on the auction and….well, you know the rest.

 Long story short, I consider these games complete when I have all of the best cars (with the best tunes) and all of the hardest races are won. Unfortunately, with the ability to earn easy money in-game, and spend it on auction bargains, “complete” happens far too soon in Forza III.

Practical advice on creating your motorsport masterpiece…

Racing and painting are a disparate pair of disciplines and rather like it’s counterpart, painting is all about practice. Here, though, we offer you a significant legup with a whole bunch of sound advice.

Odds are you’ve already got a gazillion livery ideas in your head; stop right there and go check out the editor. Look at the vinyl shapes you have access to and imagine creating something with them. If this is your first Forza car design we’d recommend opting for one of your simpler ideas. Something that’s going to be challenging, but not to the point of frustration. You should also start to think about which car the design is going to end up on, go and have a look at the car now… will the design work with the body shape? It’s essential to have a rough idea of the end product in your head before you begin. It’s worth making a sketch of your design before you begin. If only for reference purposes it’ll make the whole process much easier. If you’re feeling particularly creative you can even try knocking up a rough version in some visual software. It doesn’t really matter if you do this in something high-end like Illustrator or something as basic as MS Paint; either way it’ll give you a good idea of the complexity of the image and it’ll force you to start thinking about the kind of shapes needed to make up the image.

THE BEGINNING

01

BASIC SHAPES
03
Start off by laying down the basic shape for your design. At this point don’t worry about the details, just concentrate on making the basic shape perfect using square blocks, triangles and circles to start to form an outline. All of the controls are shown at the bottom of the screen, but don’t forget that you can use the D-pad as well as the analogue stick to position, rotate and resize shapes. This is often a lot easier than using the stick and allows precise measurements; you can also check the X and Y values of each shape by glancing at the bottom of the screen. We’re making our base shape here solid black so that we can keep a thin black outline for the final version… this will not only help the design to stand out when it’s on the car, but it will also allow us to use the design on any colour bodywork we choose.

BUILDING BLOCKS
04
 With your basic shape in place it’s time to start adding some colours and details. Concentrate on one area at a time and, whatever you do, be patient. Sort the easier areas first, take your time, stay aware of the overall composition, line up the shapes, be careful about what colours you choose and take a break if your eyes are starting to fade, making sure you remember to SAVE after every few shapes. It’s this middle section of any design that really hurts… it can take hours to get even the smallest section right and even then all you’re looking at is a wall of shapes. Sadly there are no short cuts to be taken, but you can speed up the process a little by using your recent colours palette and using the ‘stamp’ button instead of insert when you know you’ve got a row of similar shapes coming up.

COMPLEX SHAPES
05
We’re guessing that, whatever your design, the more complex areas all involve curvaceous shapes right? It doesn’t matter how many vinyl options the developer puts in, these are always going to require a little TLC to work. With each design you’d normally be looking to save layers (just in case that 1,000-per-limit is reached), but when it comes to curves don’t be afraid to throw more shapes than seem necessary. If you’re having problems we can suggest playing around with different vinyl shapes (the brackets on the fonts actually work really well) and experiment with the ‘skew’ option. This has been a lifesaver on numerous occasions.

GROUPS AND LAYERS
06
Always remember that everything you create is on its own layer and that the higher numbered layers always sit on top of the lower numbers covering them up. There are transparency options for each layer, with which you can create some awesome effects, but if you ignore that for now you can use layers to save lots of time. Once we were happy with the position we grouped the lighter layers together (by clicking in the left stick), cut them to the clipboard and then pasted them before the black outline on the layer list. It’s a cheap trick, but it cuts down on the hassle.

FINAL TWEAKS
07
When you’re nearing the end of your design take the time to go back through all of the shapes you’ve put down and make sure you’re happy with the way everything looks, you don’t want to get to the end and regret not changing something earlier. Change colours if necessary (as we did here with the armour joints), reposition layers, maybe delete a few of the unnecessary shapes and tighten everything up. It’s a better idea to do this now, when you have only got one design on the roof of a car, rather than trying to dig through hundreds upon hundreds of layers later on just to find one shape that’s slightly off.  If you are struggling to pick out one shape on your image, try changing its colour to something that stands out while you re-position, then just swap the colour back when you are done.

VINYL GROUPS
08
 With any layer selected press the Start button and scroll down the options until you see ‘Highlight All Layers’. With that done either click on the group or hit the Start button again and look for the option ‘Save Vinyl Group’. This allows you to lift your design off the car, give it a name, and save it to the hard drive. Now we’re finished, sort of. For this design we’re also going to go back into the layers and, group together the same colours and re-colour that group.

PICK A CAR
09
Hours worth of effort and we still haven’t even got a car to show for all our work… well, it’s now time to change all that. By now you’ve hopefully got a good idea of which car you want to garnish. There’s so many to choose from, so you want to pick one that will compliment your design. A great design can be ruined by a poor choice in car.  If you are planning on adding external aftermarket parts like a bodykit make sure you buy them and install BEFORE you begin work on the car. The last thing you want is for your hard graft to be ruined by a bumper that’s a slightly different shape. As we mentioned before it’s also wise to ditch the stock colour (in this case metallic red) and give the entire car a lick of temporary white/black paint to help line up the layers.

CHOOSING VINYL
10
Features like this are incredibly easy to slap on thanks to a decent range of vinyl built into the game. Have a scroll through and you’ll find multiple tabbed sections running from basic shapes to intricate patterns. However, a word of warning, every other person on the planet has access to these. So, if you are planning on using them, try and make them a little different. If it’s lightning add another branch to the bolt or maybe try extending the lick of some flames. In this case we widened the two outer stripes with some additional layers and continued the star pattern. Tweaks like this are simple enough to carry out, but there’s a lot more satisfaction in knowing you’ve made the shape ‘yours’.

GRADIENTS
11
 Gradients can be your best friend… and your worst enemy. They’re nice and easy to use and can produce striking effects, but can also look incredibly tacky, especially if they’re simply slapped across the full width of a car. It might be tempting to make that lime green/bright pink split, but in the end you’ll just look like a noob on the track. Gradients should be used for subtle effects, like the stripe here. If you’re planning on producing photo-quality vinyl (like the Pennywise car at the top corner of this page) you’ll need to become a master of the gradients and transparency levels. The main problem to watch out for (in regards to both gradients and transparency levels) is overlapping layers, it can take a long time to get everything lined up and looking good but it will definitely be worth it in the end.

IMPORTING VINYL GROUPS
12
 When you’re ready to apply your own custom vinyl, highlight a blank layer and either hit the Start button or press A. You’ll see an option for importing a vinyl group which brings up a list of every piece of art you’ve saved. When you do import a vinyl group it’ll initially appear with the layers locked so you can re-position and resize (as you can with any layers you’ve grouped together), but be careful. Because, once imported, this behaves in the same way as other layers. When you need to select another group of layers you’ll lose the lock. Make sure the group is separate from the rest of the layers on the list if you can, it can make your life a lot easier later on when you’re making final tweaks.

WORKING WITH SIDES
13
Now that we’re finally happy with the roof composition we’re going to continue our arrows around to the sides. If your design covers multiple sides this is where things can start to get a little tricky. Lining up shapes can be awkward depending on the car, and you’ll also find that with some cars you’ll be able to mark sides even when they’re not selected. The main areas to watch out for are the bumpers; these can often be affected by layers on the roof. Remember, if elements of your design are symmetrical you only need to work on one side to begin with, as you can switch over and mirror all of the layers simply using the menus.

BODY PAINT
14
 As you near the end of your design it’s a good idea to start thinking about body paint. Hopefully you’ll have a colour in mind already, but, as we found out with this car, you need to be prepared to accept that the colour might not look as impressive as you’d hoped. We originally planned for a sky blue finish, but it didn’t gel with the rest of the design. In the end we opted for a bright orange to complement the cartoon-look and lightened the arrow colours to fit. Remember that when you’ve got the colour wheel up you can also tap the triggers to see metallic and manufacturer stock options. Also, if you’ve used vinyl with cut-out shapes, make sure the car paint hasn’t created new problems… 

LETTERING
15
 The game’s range of fonts are perfect for adding bumper stickers, website addresses, number plates and so on. When you’re placing letters keep a close eye on the X and Y values at the bottom of the screen, all it takes is for one letter to be slightly bigger or the spacing to be off and you’re left with an amateur livery. Of course if you’re not happy with what’s on offer within the vinyl menus you can create your own letters, but we found that we’ve only needed to do this when it came to recreating logos. If you are planning on making a logo treat it the same as any piece of art, build a big version of it on your canvas car and shrink it down for use as a vinyl group.

DETAILS
16
All that’s left to do now is add a few small extras to finish off the design. One of the most important things you can learn with the livery editor is when to stop. There’s no shame in having sections of the car un-painted, if it works for your design. We’ve seen lots of good ideas that have been ruined by over-the-top clutter.  If you are going to go down the manufacturer logo route make sure you stay true to your car and only add the logos specific to your engine upgrades. There’s nothing worse than seeing these logos slapped on for the sake of it. Sorted? Good, it’s time introduce your baby to the world…

Feuerdog has done it again, his latest tuning calculator has been released for Forza 3.

Before continuing, please note that a tuning calc is not the end-all solution. It is generally a good starting point for a given build. That said, on to the goods:

The calc is here athttp: www.forzatraders.com/flash/ForzaMotorsport3CarSetupTool.swf , which should open in your browser. Click on download tuner, it should donwload on ur brwoser, keep clicking on the image until you reach the setup.

Open Office is an open source (free) alternative to Microsoft Office. I use it every day. The full suite can be downloaded from OpenOffice.org.

Open the file locally and save it to work with it. Here are Feuerdog’s instructions:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. In the yellow fields you will select a drivetype(FF,FR, FA, MR, MA, RR, RA), and enter the vehicles weight(lbs) and front weight distribution. This info is availiable in the upgrade and car selection areas.
FF = Front engine, Front wheel drive.
MR = Mid engine, Rear wheel drive.
RA = Rear engine, All wheel drive.
etc.

2. In the blue fields you will get all of your suspension geometry settings instantly.

3. The orange fields are optional, but will add small compensations into the values to compensate for aerodynamic downforce and differing tire widths. Tire widths are the first three digit number in the tire size located in the tire width upgrade screen. If you do not want to compensate for aero or tires then leave these cells blank.

TUNING NOTES
- The calcs are not tested or designed for dragging or drifting.
- Front tires that are wider than rear tires may result in calc errors.
- The aero and tire compensation calcs are estimates, and untested for use with FM3.
- You can trick the calcs for understeer/oversteer by changing the front weight distribution input.
- Due to limitations in this older set of calcs, some cars will still feel “understeery”.
- I guarantee nothing.
- Always, always, double check your figures and settings. Even a single 1% of difference can have an impact on handling.
- Also keep in mind that some parts that you change in FM3(cooling upgrades for example) and weight reductions will change your weight distribution around. So even something as simple as an engine upgrade can change the weight bias of the chassis.
-Always recalc your suspension after upgrading parts!
- The aero and tire compensation calcs are OPTIONAL. They are very simple modifiers to begin with.
The aero compensations simply add spring stiffness to each axle.
The tire width compensation simply changes the weight bias to compensate for grip.

CALCULATOR NOTES
- The suspension calculators have always had mixed results with the R-classes in previous FMs. I don’t know if FM3 will be the same yet or not. I hope not. With the new blended classification and stiffness modifications the only real hurdle may be aerodynamics.
- The current state of the calcs is actually a little stiffer than I wanted to make them. There are several reasons for this:
1. A limitation in the calcs relating to dampers.
2. Stiffer springs help counter high aerodynamic downforce.
3. The spring strengths are realistically higher in FM3 anyways.
4. Stiffer springs helps limit roll, and therefore keeps camber settings low
