First of all, I don't post that often,but I read this forum reguraly. I've been following the discussion on the tire glitch and I'm curious. I read about a tire glitch, in the past on the forums, but I figured it had been eliminated. My guess is it only gives an advantage when horsepower is in more demand than handling. So a statement that I read earlier in this thread said something to the effect that it can shave off as much as a second. Same as if ...on certain tracks you selected to go with handling over power. Basically...if it amounts to a PI penalty/reward the same as it is with all the other upgrades then there is no problem unless only a few are aware of this "glitch". So if it is decided that this is allowed....Then a permanent sticky thread should be posted on the General Discussion section.
If you want a definitive answer in the discussion mentioned above.....I propose this:
Get a group of testers to post when they heard about the glitch, did they ever use the glitch, and what their opinion of the glitch is. I know that would be due for some embelishment.
Next select One (glitchable car) to run on three tracks. Select a trustworthy individual to supply each tester with the same glitched and non glitched version of that car for each track. Hopefully you would be able to see a trend. It would really be nice if this would be able to be put in the multiplayer tournament section of Forza 2 in a closed invitation only running, but the scoreboard open to anyone.
The three tracks:
1. high horsepower (Nissan Speedway)
2. Mid HP/Mid handling (Sebring? Maple Valley?)
3. Handling (King Cobra, etc.)
I don't think this issue is something that should shut the HLC down ,but put your heads together and come up with a plan to decide if this is a problem or not for the future of the game community.
