H22 is officially gone. So much better dealing with people you know rather than craigslist.

Yeah I beat forza 2 its quite addicting. It just sucks that the farther you get the more laps there are. and then the endurance races that take like a hour a piece.

Brock Lesnar is an absolute beast.

Yeah but the feel of the game is just unbelievable. I wish I knew about tuning so I could really play the game to it's potential.

Most of the tuning is pretty good, the gear ratios is the only thing that is severally off. With most cars with the stock settings you will never see 6gear(assuming its a 6spd) so you just have to shorten them up a bit.

So shorten all the gears up a bit? Or just more so on the high gears? Any tuning tips for a fatty?

I never really got too in depth with the tuning, its just that ideally on the biggest straight of the track you would be reaching redline in the highest gear. I would shorten up the lower gears just a bit, then really shorten up 5th and 6th.

That and maybe add a little down force.

I hear ya, I used to play that every day of summer until 3-4am. Good times. Only thing about forza 2 is that there is no test track oval or the drag strip!

I never liked the first one, I guess I was way to used to PGR 3. It was way to hard for me, I was way to used to playing arcade racers. Now I'm just trying to pretend it's a real car, which actually helps a lot, I haven't lost a race yet, on intermediate.
