Has anyone else spotted something odd happening with damper bump/rebound settings reversing? I am certain that in one of the menus the titles switch but the settings dont? I am unsure why this is, but it appears to be the correct way round when adjusting it in race.. perhaps I am going nuts as I cant seem to find the place where it is reversed now! Maybe its in test drive? Wherever it is, its thrown me a couple of times...

Next, sometimes the foglight on my Sagaris is lit with the brake lights, sometimes it is not... are turn10 that accurate that they have built in leccy niggles to TVRs? hehe Not much of an issue, but it amuses me whenever it happens!

Finally, when loading into a race/test drive *very* occaisionally the car loads as a wire mesh for a second or two before rendering fully - again, doesnt bother me, and it is interesting to see how hard they've worked to achieve the shape from a designers point of view (I use Alias studiotools for modelling, I can appreciate when someones put effort in! these things are absolute bds to get right!)

Anyone else noticed any odd stuff happening?

The wire mesh thing is when you're going too slow so people can't hit you (you're drive-through-able).

The fog light issue wouldnt be a problem if you used a real driving view, not the out-of-car view..

No idea about the top one, soz.

Different mesh thing... the mesh thing I am on about has only occurred twice, when it was loaded into a test-drive mode and as soon as it loaded up. No other cars around... odd, but interesting - and farrrr more intricate than the non-collision thingy.

Are you running off the CD, or have you installed to HDD? I haven't noticed this I'm afraid mate.

I've not noticed that either I'm afraid, only issue I've had is a couple of times when I come off the power and start to brake for a corner the engine note stays the same the entire time I'm braking and it won't return to normal until I get back on the accelerator.

CD?? Pah! HDD FTW! I couldnt put up with the racket.. smile

Its ok, like I said, a minor complaint - its only happened a couple of times and isnt easily repeatable as a result.

The damper thing is more irritating.

I've noticed a few oddities:

You can't tint the windows on the Range Rover (ask me how I know)
The reventon's (beautiful) dash gets pink artifacts all over it when an xbox pop up comes up.

I have seen someone mention the damper problem on the official Forza forums as well. That sounds like the most irritating problem.

Ah thank fk for that, I thought I was going crackers... I reckon its correct in race set up, so I'll do my tuning through there. smile I am rather keen on making sure my dampers are spot on, so it is a big irritation for me..

I get the odd sound glitch like a slight crackle sometimes during race

You can see lines in the grass when you go onto it.
