Yandards 0 Posted November 16, 2009 Another you tube video, joined a few bits together this time: Great title background :wink: Can we access the replays and take photos also? Yes, if you go to leaderboard on the Forza menu, then push x until you get a friends list (twice) highlight my name and then push A, select go to storefront and all the pictures and replays are on there. Making a couple more videos but it takes ages as I have to encode them from a single camera angle, upload them to FM3 website one at a time, download them to my computer, muck around in movie maker and then post then up to youtube. Shame you cant just rip them straight off the xbox hard drive onto a USB stick it would be alot quicker! Yet another video, this time the hub demos the corkscrew at Leguna Seca Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted November 16, 2009 8) really cool vids there! Who was it that spun on the first vid - sherry and grey rados? Nice 1 on 1 race there, some lovely moves down the inside Mr Yan! 8) Swift pulled it back on the straights though. More vids would be good... :D Im a little jealous :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-=Kris=- 0 Posted November 16, 2009 Who was it that spun on the first vid - sherry and grey rados? that would be me and hub... i was overtaking green rado at the time and we clipped each other... i just came out worse off... :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Hub 0 Posted November 16, 2009 Ha loving the videos although they do show my need to improve....... big time!!!!!! Who needs bigger brakes when you can use Yan to slow down quicker :lol: Sorry mate :epicfail: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice 1 on 1 race there, some lovely moves down the inside Mr Yan! 8) Swift pulled it back on the straights though. More vids would be good... :D Im a little jealous :( Heh, you wouldn't be the first PS3 owner I know to go and buy and xbox just to play Forza 3 because GT5 is taking too long, both a friend of mine and his brother have done that in the last fortnight. Swifty didn't catch me up again though, it was a clean pair of rear wheels for the last lap. Videos take ages to do, I need to decide what section to capture, I can only have up to 30 seconds max and then if I want to change the subject car, angle etc I need to do another capture. Once captured you can only upload one at a time to the Forza server so that last video of the 1 v 1 action is 4 different sections of video and took over 2 hours just to get into a state to start editing. You also need to remember the time that the last clip finished so the transition is better when you swap angles. If they would just let you drop the wmv films straight from the xbox hard drive onto a USB key it would be so much easier! Shame everyone ends up so strung out after the 1st couple of corners, I expect the tuning skills to improve as we progress so it should get more even.

mattnorgrove 0 Posted November 16, 2009 Sorted out the lag issue!! Assigned a static address to the xbox and opened all the required ports for the xboxs address, inbound and outbound from the router. Made a massive difference! Just hosted a couple of races with Alex G60, DJ Ebby and The Hub, nice and smooth, and some quality racing. Cheers chaps. Lookin forward to the first race proper on Sunday. :grin: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted November 16, 2009 Well finally up and running on the xbox front (although not online yet :( ) and loving it so far. Need to get a few hours under my belt to work on my car and skills before I actually race people but getting very slowly better. Just wondering if you guys are using steering wheel accessories or just the normal controllers? Not sure if I'm just rubbish but finding it quite hard to just get the car going where I want it to! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Hub 0 Posted November 16, 2009 Mic, I've been playing it since Friday and I'm still in the same boat (read previous comments and watch the videos) :lol: Getting to know the tracks is a good place to start, I usually find I wipe out on the first few laps but then hold my own towards the end of the race when i'm miles behind the leaders. Still a good laugh though :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pat_McCrotch 0 Posted November 16, 2009 This looks like great fun. I'm buying a copy before the end of the week :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted November 16, 2009 Yeah knowing the tracks would help! Don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely loving it but I've only ever had 2/3 goes on an xbox (never played a PS3) in my entire life before today so not really sure what i'm doing. Forza is agood place to start though, tried to play Call of Duty earlier and can't get on with the controls at all... time and practice is what I need now so watch this space. :clap: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted November 16, 2009 lol - awesome video clips, Yan! Have the lag issues settled down? Our first few goes were a nightmare! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
