I'd like to join in for a couple of races but:
A) I am garbage at racing games
B) I'm still getting used to using a wheel
C) Despite points (A) & (B) I insist on turning off some of the assists so I will definitely spin out of control and wreck every other car on the track.

To those with a Thrustmaster TX: is it better to run with auto-clutch in-game or to run full manual and use the auto-clutch feature on the wheel?
I didn't even know about the auto-clutch mode until I watched the Forza 6 preview by the Inside Sim Racing guys and they mentioned it.

I have to work Thursday unfortunately, but I'll be available Thursday night and any time Friday or Saturday for the most part.
It's faster to use the auto-clutch on the wheel. I've actually returned the TX and decided to stick with the controller, but one of my first thoughts when learning how to use the TX is that auto-clutch feels like cheating.

Thanks very much! I think people often make Forza Motorsport sound impenetrable to less skilled racers, but it's really not if you give it a chance. Glad you enjoy the series too.
at 5:30 you call the game Forza Horizon 6
Yeah, wish I'd caught that before uploading. Pronouncing Forza the correct way takes up a lot of mental energy for me, I'm afraid.

Cheating would be using automatic clutch and auto blip like I do in Assetto Corsa lol.
I'll be sure to try it then, thanks.
Sadly I'll be picking up the retail version of the game. Good news is the store I go to said they'd have it on Friday. So hopefully I'll have the game over the weekend.

Wait... whaaaat?
Name a real life car, where you have to clutch the flappy-paddle shifters?
Or where you talking about a TX with TH8A Shifter add-on?
Edit: I feel like I have some technical misunderstanding here.
Edit2: Indeed... I didn't know there is an auto-clutch feature on the wheel itself, I have pedals with clutch pedal.

Compare yourself using auto clutch to just manual by racing your ghost, there's usually a couple car lengths difference within a few seconds.

Ok, so what the game calls "manual" is non-automatic shifting with auto-clutch as in "I don't have to clutch, the game/car does that for me".
What the game calls "manual w/clutch" is ACTUALLY manual, where I have to do the shifting and clutching by myself.
on the game's "manual" setting I was 1.1 seconds faster on Laguna Seca (I have pretty constant times on that track) than I was with "manual w/clutch" and not using the clutch pedal when shifting.
What am I not getting here?

You set the game to manual+clutch and enable autoclutch on the wheel, iirc it's 'Mode' and 'A' button.
If you have to use the paddles in menus (scrolling through manufacturers for example) then disable autoclutch again as it will select the car as the 'A' button has been pressed. Enable it again when you're ready to race.

oh... then I have to set my clutch pedal to switch with the hand-brake probably in order to get that to work. thanks

I think autoclutch only works on the default button layout.

I worked it out, you were right, default button layout. Weirdly enough my lap time was still better on what the game calls "manual" than it was on "manual w/clutch", but I now get what you were saying with letting the TX do the clutching. Maybe I should try a drag race, but I will probably leave it on "manual" anyway, even if it's slower.
Done! Might be awkward in the coming days as I'm preparing to go back to uni but you bet I'll be on as much as possible

That is fucking awesome!
Those images are excellent too. There's some real talent on display here.
Absolutely love this photo. Brb while I set it as my XB1 background.
The achievement images look great too from the tiny thumbnails I've spotted, I don't suppose there's a link to the full-size ones anywhere?

In the demo, do we get to keep the credits and cars that we win?

You bet. As I said in the review this one seems to be the best of both worlds allowing those new to jump in and experience the best it has to offer, and those who have played before to get the most out of the updated systems. It also is just absolutely fun which, I admit, the previous Forza titles didn't feel they delivered to me.
No but by the looks of things you'll win lots of good stuff early on unless you're unlucky anyway.
Signed up & Thursday booked off work!

Ahhhh, stupidly I didn't link either the avatar or the usergame to the ACG youtube!.
I like your channel mate, good reviews, keep at it
Thanks.
Appreciate that and the XB GT is a favorite.
Admittedly I was hoping for a true dodge dart swinger(my first ever car) but the only one they had was that abomination that looks like a frankencar.
Dude, is extremely talented at the editing game. His racing skills aren't to bad either. My montage would be a blooper reel.

You do realise it doesn't unlock till 2pm BST?
Assuming you are in the UK of course......

Go to the link in the post above yours and add yourself to the spreadsheet.
oh, and for a new page:
I'm mainly interested in making edits for this game. I made a small following during the FM4 days, but I stopped after the game got less popular.
I want to make a channel along the lines of Petrolicious for FM6, but I need to buy this game and an Xbox One.
Laguna Seca
Sand on the track looks really good.
Although FM6's bonnet cam irks me, it's too low, and too close to the front of the car.
All the sand on the track is quite cool. Is there a clean track too?Laguna Seca

Laguna Seca
Ooooh sand blowing about

Glad you got it working regardless.
:/
Maybe it's the lower class cars that benefit more. Could depend on them having a racing gearbox or something. There's a definate lag in shifting that's not present on manual+clutch.
Laguna Seca
Half of what impressed me so much about the rain is the variation in the density of the mists moment-to-moment. I'm really glad to see that same attention to detail in the wind-blown sand. I remember seeing the effect used in the distance in Forza 5, but seeing it on track is really something else.

Now the question is if it actually affects the handling when you run over it.
