    Well you should stick to medium then and/or turn on some assists.

    Re: The Forza 3 Thread

    only just noticed, seems turn10 have finished removing a feature they obviously felt too hardcore for the new retard-based market

    - in forza 2 they got rid of engine damage from bouncing off the redline before upshifting
    - in forza 3 they have got rid of damage from downshifting at too high an rpm and forcing the engine over the redline.

    i think that is a good indicator where the series is heading

    Are you sure of this? I've noticed a few times the car damage indicator pop up when I've gone down 1 gear to many coming up to a corner. Admittedly, I did not check what the damage was for, as I just assumed it was damage to the engine from doing as you said, shifting down to quickly. I'll test it tomorrow when I'm on, but it's definitely popped the damage indicator up more than once when I've changed down to much.

    Maybe you need the damage set to simulation? But I'm sure you would have it set to that anyway.

    I still think this is an amazing game. I know it's not hardcore enough for some, but then Forza 2 was not exactly hardcore either. I know it's still got a few issues with online play, they need to sort out being able to use F-B class cars in a public lobby. For me, it's still the best racing game on a console at the moment and will remain the best on the 360 for a long, long time to come. I guess it's the usually thing of hyping something up to much.

    aha, no, they have just made it much more difficult to do you need to drop 3 gears rather than just one at the wrong moment. so it kind of is discounted now, no-one is going to go downshift-downshift-downshift without a pause in between unless they are trying to make it happen, which i just was. i remember the demo being ok, hey had swapped the shift buttons around so now and again i would forgeot and go down rather than up and have to restart, as per f2. they have toned it down A lot, i can lock my wheels using nothing but engine braking and be ok
