Dogconker Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Then you haven't had the bug, because however good you are if the car does the clearing off thing you'll not catch it. I did a race yesterday and the car in front drove off. I went after him and did my fastest lap, I checked and it was 2-3 seconds faster than his fastest lap, yet he was much further away at the end of that lap than before. So it's a bug and you mathematically can't win if it happens However much of a smug **** you are [emoji6] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best not turn the microwave on while gaming. [emoji41] [emoji57] Tbh I haven't been able to put a lot of time in so far. Haven't explored it enough.

Dogconker Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I'm not as quick as you but I can handle myself in forza. But when you do your fastest lap and it's faster than the car in front's fastest lap and he's still pulling away at a rate, there's nothing you can do add that to the fact that they pit less often than you and an endurance race becomes impossible. I'm not even racing on unbeatable I'm on highly skilled, this isn't me making excuses as to why I can't win its mathematically impossible to win, if he was just going faster then that could be me, but when I'm going faster in lap times and he's still going faster on the track what do you do?

Scoobyghost Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Yeah sounds a bit pants. Turn 10 gonna fix it? There's always a few thi vs to iron out. Project cars ai was horrendous to begin with too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 They say they're not, the response given by Dan Greenwald no less was "you don't need to finish first to progress" so he's basically saying no problem, but it is on showcase events where you need to win. Gambit had it where he just couldn't catch the other car yesterday. Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 That's no good. There will be backlash. Especially when the majority start endurance races. I doubt they're first on most list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Think if you turn off the learning function, they don't respond to your times, when you have it on and you start to pump in a load of quick laps then the get a wriggle on too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 They were pretty much first on mine. I did a couple in expert mode and had a comfortable if not huge lead, but Sebring he was off, and no matter what I did he just kept pulling away. I might just have to do that one on novice mode [emoji53] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 I put it on unbeatable didn't really find it much difference between expert other than took me longer to get through the pack and couldn't pull away from them even giving it all I had. I just like to have the last lap to myself [emoji1] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Anyone tried the Autocross events? I thought yeah no problem, liked them on 5 and could do them easy. Had a go with the vette and I'm like 10 seconds off everytime :O. Seriously, 10 seconds?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Haha, I hate those events, I just do them on easiest setting just to get them done Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Does that change the required time then? Me and Simon have found a car we are well matched in for private races, the Caterham! We are always really close :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Hey ghost, how's this, I be restarted the Sebring endurance race, I dropped difficulty down to above average, I have a dare mod that starts me in 22nd, end of lap 3 I'm half a lap up on 2nd, yet the last race not possible? Surely there isn't that much difference between highly skilled and above average? Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are always really close :). Yes you get loads longer, in fact you'd have to push the car round to fail (I exaggerate wildly). But it's fairly easy, I think I actually did mine on average Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the higher difficulty is the lead car consistently faster over all races? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 No, other endurance races I've done on expert the front car did pull a bit of s lead but I could claw back and I eventually won the race by about half a lap.

Scoobyghost Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Do you use the distance indicator on the hud? Would love to see if it pulls away on your fast lap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I wast using the distance indicator. But I used a bend as a reference point to see where he was in relation to me, he was obviously further away despite me doing my fastest lap which was faster than his fastest lap Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I'm disappointed that turn 10 have basically said deal with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 So am I, I mean you can "deal with it" by resetting console or like me drop a drivatar rating but it's not a great answer. I'm on lap 27 now and probably some 3laps ahead. It's just s long drive to the finish now and making sure to remember to put, not a challenge but I'm looking to cross this one off because it's such hard work to get it done, it's s real chore Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogconker Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Also, for anyone getting hacked off with the one car clearing off into the distance the answer seems to be to abandon the drivatars by playing in offline mode, apparently the AI is really good in this mode. To set your xbox up for this got to Xbox Dash > Settings > Internet > Select offline Mode there you go proper AI you can actually race against 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
