I mean calendar!? Doh! Bit of a job keeping track of races, what cars, priorities ....... It's doable but I think it would be easier in calendar format ... Would only need to look about 1 month or so ahead to be useful ..... Don't know if the forum technology makes this possibleHow do u mean??
I've spent the whole afternoon researching/reading/watching videos about car tuning on Forza 4, just got to see if i can put any of it into practice i guess..
think I might find a dummy car to run my tests on?? I find the tuning setups on sf are very general and are never suited to a track in which I find myself on in the lobby mode.. don't get me wrong I wouldn't be winning a race or anything due to lack of skill.. but im not to be coming last would be nice haha
going to be doing some testing tonight to see if I can figure it out myself
Think more along the lines of what the track is like you want to tune for e.g. High/Low Downforce, Long straights, Hairpins, Bumpy/Smooth surface. This should help to dictate where you want to go with upgrades. Maximum upgrades in the Platform and Handling menus are almost always needed. Aero is not always necessary, but get your driving as smooth as possible, especially on corner exit, the slightest bit of powerslide can cost you heavily.
Sometimes you can get away with only installing a Sport Gearbox to save a few PI for power. Another trick you can try is tune your gearbox to not use the final gear e.g. If you have a 6 speed only use up to the top of 5th for the longest straight. I've found that as long as your gear are fairly even you should be OK around most tracks.
