Car Divisions & Homologation

Rank: C-Class Racing License		#151 Posted : Tuesday, September 26, 2017 10:55:49 AM(UTC) Originally Posted by: Alan J T Originally Posted by: BARNYCULL I really enjoy tuning and do not care if previous versions of the game do not copy over properly. Nobody needs to have 700 tunes ready on day one. You can only drive one car at a time. Is good that you do your own Tunes but what about the players that dont do there own what are they to do when they find most tunes can not be used. Tell me do you do your own designs or just sellect one from the list, Do we really need several hundred designs for each car to make them look pretty ported from the other titles. Perhaps all shareing of tunes and designs should be disabled and none should be ported over from the other titles. Instead any Tuner or Painter can sell Tunes and designs made in FM7 instead of shareing them. But this wont happen as to many Elite painters would throw a wabbly while the Tuners just have to suck it up and redo hundreds of tunes that have had many hours of testing to get them nicely balanced. Whether tunes port from FM6 properly or not, some people will still have tunes up, minutes after unlocking cars. I doubt there will be an issue of non tuners not having access to tunes. It will be good if it works properly I agree, but the world will keep turning and the tuners will keep tuning. On your question regarding paint my answer is 'not well'. But I can still race without the latest batman paint job. If paints do not port properly I can see a big issue for the painting community as some designs take ages to create and will take the same time to recreate. With a tune the recreation time is limited to writing down a few numbers. Beware downloading tunes that have been ported over and shared without testing on FM7. Plenty of tuners will do this and plenty of people will grab those tunes. My comment about only driving one car a time is more aimed at the tuners who should test before sharing, at least until they are familiar with the differences (if any) between the games.

There is a lot of fancy writing here around this topic, but the Spec Leagues are a type of homologation where you can only race the spec version of the car. Being able to homologate at the push of a button is nothing different than down grading a car to spec to make it eligible for the Spec League races. So now FM7 may follow some of the homologation rules set my the studio or may get permission to use specific homologation setting form say IMSA for specific races in the game. That's all it is folks, I don't see what all the fuss is about this, as it's quite simple indeed and the concept did not originate with T10, homologation is a way of life for WRC, where the definition of the term is in true form. If only it was as simple as you have out lined. But this is a major change to how forza works. If I'm understanding this correctly the class hoppers are gone. Division specific hoppers are replacing them. This is nothing like spec, spec cars can not be tuned. Homologated cars can be tuned. Most ppl here know this is nothing new in real motorsport but it's new to forza. There should be a big fuss over this it could potentially be the solution to many issues that have restricted the game in the past. Personally I don't think it will work as they intend but it's certainly a step in the right direction The Spec League is an example where all cars are even-footed. This is the idea of homologation, that all cars have the same PI index, but can be individually tuned. It's still good because there are some expert tuners out there who use their wizardry to out pace the best of us on track.

Same goes for Hoonigan cars and their own Division. Needless to say you can use them in Open events. Forza Edition cars race as if they perfectly normal cars, for example the Subaru BRZ Forza Edition races in the Sport Compact Division like the regular BRZ.

Also the Reventon isn't in two divisions. I'm surprised the Audi R8s are both in Exotic GT instead of Sport GT with other mid-engined cars. The Renault F1 car is in "Forza GP Racing."

Rank: On the Podium		#158 Posted : Thursday, September 28, 2017 9:44:36 AM(UTC) I think open is more in relation to car choice and build. You're not restricted to a certain division or build spec. You probably race the same cars in the division since you're more likely to find a balanced race. I'd imagine this aspect can be patched down the line. I'm assuming divisions with one car are due partly to balancing issues and uniqueness of the car.

I am not a tuner nor do I have any interest in becoming one, and I enjoy jumping in an S Class lobby and using whatever cars I like. I have a range of cars for each track which I gravitate towards (handling rating, power, awd, etc) and this will no longer be viable. I would rather be able to race a 850hp Holden Torana on Road America if I so choose, not pick a lobby based on car division and HP ceilings. Surely every division will soon have its own "leaderboard" cars and the needless segregation and dilution of lobbies will be for moot. Yes, there are leaderboard cars which people gravitate towards on FM6, but in my experience it is usually newer/unexperienced players driving those cars. Quick guys can still win with unconventional car choices which keeps things interesting. Hopefully T10 can make the old style lobbies available at some point, but we'll see how the homologation plays out. Disappointed that I didn't find out about this before pre-ordering Ultimate as I may have thought twice.

Rank: Racing Permit		#160 Posted : Thursday, September 28, 2017 11:13:03 AM(UTC) There is a list of cars for tiers 6,7,8 to be revealed. I remember them saying about a surprise when completing the Forza Cup Series, maybe it releases more cars for those tiers

Rank: A-Class Racing License		#161 Posted : Thursday, September 28, 2017 11:47:39 AM(UTC) The quickest way to see all the homologation rules for each Division is when you choose a car to enter in an Open event. The relevant homologation rules appear on the bottom of the cars' stats. In an Open event your car races against cars from the same Division. The alternative would be to buy and customize a car from each Division, which does work but seems way more time (and credits) consuming...

If a car is already at the PI index without any upgrades, it likely will not be able to be tuned, specifically suspension. If so, this will eliminate a large amount of vehicles that can be tuned. Tuning suspension is what makes this game fun for myself, fixing the drivability of each car. Example being the Demo Porshe 911 RS. I hate the way it drove, but being at the top of its PI would not allow for a suspension upgrade. Hope I am wrong....

Rank: D-Class Racing License		#163 Posted : Thursday, September 28, 2017 4:03:32 PM(UTC) So, watching some youtubers playing FM7, I notices that the car PI index seems to bee off. For example, the Ferrari Testarossa is an par with the McLaren F1, the 2014 Civic SI is rated as being faster than the new Type R. What gives?

Rank: Racing Permit		#164 Posted : Thursday, September 28, 2017 4:10:10 PM(UTC) So let me get this straight. If I want to race a Mustang GT, which is already assigned to a particular division, GT Touring I think, I'm restricted to racing in ONLY that division against the other cars assigned to that division? Or can I possibly tune it to meet the specific requirements of another homologated division, like Global Touring Cars? I like the concept, but not if cars are "trapped" in a single division, with only 5 or 6 cars to choose from.

Lastly, the cars I can tune with suspensions will likely be much faster than those you cannot put suspension on. This will only create more of a leaderboard problem for each division rather than less. T-24 hours until nuclear forum explosion.

Rank: D-Class Racing License		#167 Posted : Thursday, September 28, 2017 4:53:40 PM(UTC) They should at least add homologated class racing if theyre so bent up on homologation. Same use of restrictions on compound and tire width etc but broadened slightly to cater for cross division racing. Ridiculous how a Chevelle can't run against a Camaro, RX7 FC against R32 Skyline etc. Or anywhere in between. I've seen Holden Commodores compete against Civics and Daihatsus at grassroot events and all get similar times in their class so what gives?

So I boot up Forza 7, insanely excited, and first thing I do is scroll through all the cars and check out each one. First mistake, the 2017 Bentley Continental Supersports horsepower is off by 100, showing 600, equaling the 2013 GT speed. Ok, sure a bug. Then I continue on and soon enough here comes Bmw and at the top is a Bmw M2 showing 444 horsepower (should be 365) and having an acceleration rating of 8.4 compared to the M4 GTS of 8.0 which is substantially quicker than an m2 in real life. Oh, next one, here'es the Bmw i8 showing 425hp and 500tq which in real life is 357hp and 420tq. Moving on! (I'm typing this as I see them). Ok, a 2012 Bmw m5 showing 592hp which indicates the performance package when it wasn't available in 2012, which was 560hp. Next a 2011 z4 35is showing 427hp and 447tq which is actually 335hp and around similar torque depending on overboost (370 on overboost). Next, the 2010 Bmw m6 coupe, showing 537hp and 412tq which in reality is 500hp and 383tq. Next! a 2009 Bmw m5 with the identical engine to the m6 but showing 561hp and 430tq, which as noted before is 500hp and 383tq. OK i'm done, as I keep scrolling through, essentially 85 percent of the cars are insanely wrong in stats and performance. so i will stop the bantering. How does this even happen?

I honestly hav elost interest in this game. I am really disappointed. No, I don't want a 400hp civic, or a 300hp E60 M5. What the heck?!

Seems pointless to offer 700 odd cars if you're just going to auto tune them all into a range of 30 or so categories, where they all basically perform the same. I can kind of appreciate the option in Multiplayer to keep things competitive, but forcing it in the single player campaign? As someone who likes to drive the cars primarily as standard, it's a killer. The PI matching system in FH3 was fine in principal for a single player campaign, all they needed to do was fix the horribly biased PI index and it would've been great.
