Forums

So, moderators. Developers. Turn 10 staff. SOMEONE. This is twelve, 12 pages and seven, 7 months of feedback and people wanting to hear ANY news of anything being implemented. Or considered.

Why the silence?! If nothing is ever going to happen, at least tell us that. That would be something. The nothing that is happening now is wrong.

They are busy with Forza street.

We see drift suspension etc etc where as drag I think they threw us a bone to try to retain a few racers but I don't foresee them doing jack . Their responses match their actions ... nothing.

Drag should have had class based racing ,,,,,, wasn't much sense putting drag in a game when in free play you have drag mode and a drag tire in drag mode knocks the car out of its division. Which in turn places the lowest class car on the LB with the highest class.


At this point I would like to see someone be bright enough and jump on the concept that is not out there ... a stand alone drag game from junior dragster to top fuel ... work your way up and have numerous classes/brackets ... even some DLC like Nostalgia, Jet Car/Truck , wheel standers etc etc or have some of those done up such as forzathon cars if they want. No prep expansion etc. A lot of options are there.

I believe if they branched out as they did with Horizon and made a drift stand alone and drag stand alone they would open their base up beyond expectations but still leave some limited version of the cross racing/driving styles intact in the regular game to keep Forza play option varieties ... but also maybe that would branch some on Forza only to the stand alones as well. Just a few random thoughts

Why has this not been updated to replace the current system. They wanted feedback so that’s what we gave them, yet we have been ignored. Ever since the implementation of this system (unless I am wrong) there have been no changes to it. Honestly just create a drag racing hopper for every class then implement this system into it. If you are not going to listen, at least do some development on your own. You have been so preoccupied with the Race Regulations system that you have neglected to update and improve other parts of the game.

I would like to see the trap speed displayed and tracked to two decimal places.

I like that you guy's decided to do this "Experimental Drag" it is encouraging to those who have been trying to give ideas about the Drag Community for some time now. It shows we are being taken into consideration and not left on the back burner, Thank you for that. Now for some ideas.

The following ideas will most likely have to be implemented on FM8 or better as for they may take some time to develop but they are here to jump start some thought.

Drag track ideas:

1.) More tracks, 8th, 1/4, 1/2 & Mile Prep an non prepped All with functional tree (ALL ONLINE!!)

2.) Water Box allowing us to do our burn out and then have stage lights to stage up. This gives you a better feel of your car before you send it than just getting trown into the light count down. Have maybe a lobby option to choose what style you want "burn out/stage or no burn out/stage" depending on how impatient one may be.

3.) Have a pro tree option

4.) Rolling Starts, locking cars in at desired rolling starts that can be selected in lobby prior to race. Race would be fair if cars get locked in and nobody get the hit. Only downfall would be you would not be able to brake boost or clutch drop if cars were forcibly locked in. But either way locked in or not ROLLING STARTS would be great regardless! #TX2K

5.) Enhance and go more into detail with lobby performance restrictions to create further competition.
EX: Tire width caps, TIRE COMPOUND caps, Displacement caps, weight distribution caps, Boost PSI Caps, street, sport & or Race performance upgrades cap, transmission caps street, sport, race, Engine Swap restriction ETC. I could go on for days but you get the picture. I listed a few to inspire thought. Tires would be a big deal for sure if anything from this list (width and compound) restrictions would open up a whole new level of competition and builds.

6.) ADVANCED TUNING- this may never happen but ill say it again anyway.
Air to Fuel Ratio tuning, Ignition Timing, Boost Tuning "Boost by gear" etc. Anything to step up the tuning process and take pride in achieving. If we can tune this type of stuff the repercussions should be to grenade the engine if improperly tuned or lift a head etc. This would be on "simulation drag mode" for the diehards. 10 year olds can just use normal drag no violent repercussions. I know... "Far out and not probable" but hey its a coin in the well, just throwing it out there

7.) 2 step / trans brake

8.) Be able to shut down the car after finish line and drive back to start to select a new opponent to line up with.

9.) Parachute :)

10.) Skinnys for the front or back dependong on drivtrain.

11.) More Power!! :) lots of cars in this game are know to be able to make way more power. But lets maybe only allow the crazy power to be applicable in drag mode as for it is useless in circuit.

12.) Wheelie Bars!

I will wrap it up here, I'm sure I could continue but I dont want to over request. These are just a few things to inspire future endeavors. Oh ya and I also saw somebody say elapsed time should only be used against an opponent and not for setting records. I agree.

Thanks for what you guys have done for the drag community thus far, I look forward to seeing the development toward drag in the near future.

Knock Knock....

Exactly what I would love to see.

yes

i would like to see : feedback going both ways.

or at least some sign of actual use for this tread or a response in any form.......

this feels enormously abandoned

13 PAGES OF FEEDBACK AND NOTHING FROM DEVELOPERS AND “COMMUNITY LIAISONS”!! WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS? ANYTHING? SHOULD ALL OF US THAT HAVE BEEN WAITING JUST STOP WAITING?!

SAY SOMETHING!!

First things first I’m glad Drag racing is finally taken more seriously not just a get in and go for a measly 1000 credits , I’m glad that the staging lights where added but we need to have actual staging start the cars out of the box and a tire warming stage ie burnouts to heat up the tires for traction then have the cars line up to the staging lines before the lights will countdown. The way you have it now is still too fast there’s nothing to do other than rev the engine to start the lights which takes away from the realism. True drag racing encompasses a lot more work and minute detail to insure a win not just get in and go, maybe for show add a wheelie function for the high powered RWD cars , a 600hp mustang would lift the front wheels if the tires are sticky enough , the dodge demon or Fast and furious gtx with its 2000hp would basically stand up 90 degrees if you pegged the throttle. Addition of drag setup suspensions like the drift suspension option would be nice along with adding a large drag slick tire for a more realistic look. New parts options like wheelie bars and launch control would be fantastic even if just for the modern muscle and exotics that have factory installed launch control, the addition of all that would be a huge leap in realism and make us drag race fiends feel excepted especially since no racing game really does the sport justice. I was super excited to see the best racing franchise out there dive into the world of drag racing. Thank you and Godbless

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

maybe the devs are stuck behind a lego brick....

I just spit my drink all over, lmao! Didn't expect that as I was reading these. That was great.

So who out there knows how to code and has investment capital, lol. Let's do this our selves. Well, I suppose it'd be yourselves 'cause I'm doing good if I can get my passwords right let alone write code for a game, lol! That does seem like the only option left at this point. Thanks Turn 10.

Well...Hopefully the feedback goes into fm8. See you drag racers on the track.

Good day Everyone

When can we expect the burnout stage, allowing us to stage ourselves and wheelie bars,drag tyres etc.
Also can we use different tracks, some tracks have more grip than others and for drag the tracks/track with the most grip should be used.
Could we also race different cars and real people.

Thanks

It's lost until FM8.
But for those of us wanting a Drag Racing Purist game with wheelie bars, wrinkle walls, real blowers, and a water box. We better turn to EA or some other dev for a purist stand alone game. Even I'm not interested in a Drag Racing game that specialized. Wouldn't buy it.
For a Forza implementation a good tree and factual tuning such as butt gears that actually work like real world butt gears. Simple solutions which can be worked into the current format. An additional "suspension" for drag maybe which can give us ladder bars or four link. Something simple and similar to the drift suspension package but with drag specific tunings.
Don't expect Turn10 to over engineer FM8 to fit in a total drag sim package. But a better compromise than what we've seen in the past would be a very welcome addition.
Definitely it would need to have better matchups for AI races than what the experimental drag version gave us.
And an online version could very easily include a bracket racing system.
As for the length or race a standard drag race is 1/4 mile. So let's lose all this 1/8, 1/2 and 1mi garbage. 1/8 maybe if they can see their way to give us dirt tracks and sand strips. Because the 1/8 drag is the standard for dirt and sand.

Wow, I didn't think the Forza developers would be THAT ignorant when it came to Experimental Drag...

I 2nd this, we need a burnout box, staging with the actual tree lights working and adding to that I want NOS - Nitrous Oxide Systems added to Drag. Hopefully this can happen with added Online play for Forza Motorsport 8.

Here's my thoughts:

A 15 to 30 second timer to do some burnouts would be really cool so we could heat up our tires. Show us what temperature each tire is in the HUD next to tire tire heating symbols. Or just give us tire blankets and let us select what temperature the tire blankets heat up to. It could be cool to show the car jacked up on tire blankets in the pre-race menu too.

I think more upgrades are needed like extremely skinny front tires, the ability to choose different tire compounds for front and rear, ability to have smaller rims to save weight, turbo boost tuning would also be really cool and maybe some trivial things like wheelie bars and cosmetic upgrades.

The final thing that needs tweaking for me is the countdown. You can guess it way too easily. I think that there needs to be a random delay between 1 to 5 seconds on the final light so that people can't guess the light going off as quick.

Apart from that, I think the system is pretty good.

I would like to see a burnout box to hear the tires. And then staging into the Christmas tree.

If you want to do drag racing you need to add drag racing equipment Fat slick drag racing tires, allow vehicles to be tubed out, allow there to be different rims on front and back, wheelie bars, parachutes on the back, huge tuning options. So to make this short spend time at a drag strip and go from there. I don't see funny cars here, top fuelers, an assortment of gassers, and experimental dragsters.. I am sure this has all been said before...on take off the HOMOLOGATION of the cars. As long as the cars are in that class rating then they should be able to compete in the series/brackets, after all it is racing.

Hi

I've drag raced on Forza since FM3 and still to this day on FM7 and FH4

Its been over a year since Experimental drag was added. I understand that even though there are a lot of die-hard drag racing fans like me who play, the actual amount is relatively small so I'm not surprised that there has been no response to the feedback T10 asked for. However I would love to see a proper drag race online mode. Below is some feed back and observations on Experimental Drag....

1. No disqualification for crossing the centre line - Being disqualified for crossing the centre line is a fundamental rule in Drag racing so I was surprised it wasn't implemented.

2. Track choice - FM7 has Sonoma Race way (a real NHRA drag strip) and Hockenheim (a real FIA drag strip) but neither have the prep/stickiness of a real drag strip like the Test Track does.
If you're going to give incremental times like 60ft etc for the tuners then we need the real grip of the test track or a real prepped strip.

3. R/T, 60ft, 1/4 mile time and speed displayed on the timing "ticket" - adding 1/8th mile (half track) numbers would be great.

4. Bring back 1/8th mile! Like on FM3 (or FM4, I can't remember!)

5. Red light - In real life if you red light after the tree is activated your time is still displayed. The only time you get no time is if you leave so early the tree is not activated.

6. Staging - I don't mind not getting a full burnout procedure but there should at least be a staging window so you can place your car deep or shallow in the beams if you wish.

7. Bump box / Line lock / Rev Limiter

8. Drag suspension / Tubbed rear arches / Adjustable wheelie bars

9. Run down area - Instead of cutting to results straight after the finish line it'd be cool to have to get your own car stopped and turned off at the end. Maybe parachutes? (Now I'm getting ahead of my self haha)

10. Bespoke classes / brackets - Option to dictate Minimum E.T / minimum weight / drivetrain / engine type in lobby options.

It'd be great to know there is still interest in this topic and working being done.

Also any fellow drag racers If you fancy a race I'm in RWD Drag or Open Test track lobbies most nights UK time!

Thanks for reading

Well this died quickly lol At least put the experimental hopper back in the game until you figure out some sort of response to the community.
