FM4 DLC issues

[LukeBird]

Just having a go at this months Community challenges, but one of the challenges says I need some DLC (the car is the Aston V12 Vantage) but I already have it? On double checking that I had downloaded all of the packs, I see I only have some of the cars in the "Pre-Order and Launch Bonus Cars" pack, why wouldn't I have those (I did pre-order)?

Help please!

Monthly DLC, so there is a new car park every month and the new Aston was in todays pack.

I thought the Aston was released a while ago?
Regardless, there was no notification of a new DLC pack available, maybe it was just something odd going on.

Any idea on the launch car pack?

Nope the New Aston was in todays launch pack, trust me as I have done the rivals and got the car pack today.

They normally do the notification on day of realease but it has been mentioned for a couple of days on the forum and on the website,

what do you mean by launch car pack?

If it's the "Mr. Zagato" challenge, you need the V12 Zagato, which only came out today.

Sorry, my mistake I meant I had the V12V in the garage, not the Zagato one. Whoops!
Regardless, there was no new pack available on my console, maybe LIVE was having a funny five minutes?

On the list of car packs, it's furthest on the right. As mentioned, it's called "Pre-Order and Launch Bonus Cars", it has the 1M, Honda CR-Z and that sort of thing in it; I have some of them, but not all of them. Did you have to buy it even if you did pre-order?

It will probably show up shortly, but if you go into the game market place from the dashboard (not in Forza) and download the Weissmann (which is the free car) it should magically appear in Forza.

Yep, I am a season pass holder, but was not on forza marketplace, so went and downloaded the free wisemann off the dashboard add on section and got all the cars for free.
Just looked at that pack, you only got one pre order car, as different shops had different pre order cars. I have looked and I have half that pack, mainly because I am a VIP and the only cars I don't have I don't really want.

[LukeBird]

I'm a VIP as well (and pre-ordered through GAME who gave me an Impreza AFAIR), I'd like the 1M, but I'm not paying 550pts for a few extra cars that I'm not too bothered by!
New pack downloaded now, I think my console had a bit of a fit last night is all!

Slightly O/T but do the Rival reward amounts (for beating other people) change with how well you did at them? Last month I was getting 150k most of the time, now I can barely get 5k!

Yer same.

Yes, when there is more rivals to beat the credit amount received increases. So when the new rivals come out you earn hardly anything. But after two weeks the reward amount gets larger.

[LukeBird]

Aaaah! I shouldn't have bothered doing them then!

Although I was in the top 100 for the Gallardo around the 'ring (in a stock car!)!

Thanks for your help chaps!
