Drivatar AI Improvements
We’ve introduced a major update to our AI system focusing on cleaner and safer racing. This means significant improvements to collision avoidance and side-by-side behavior, especially during those tricky race starts. Go to Forza.net to learn more about these AI changes.
Steering Wheel (Plug and Play) Updates
This update adds new wheel features to Forza Motorsport, including steering wheel calibration and authentic car specific turns lock-to-lock. This will be most noticeable for race cars, which typically have fewer degrees of steering lock-to-lock.
Prior to this release, the default steering behavior was to use the full range of your steering wheel for all cars – which could be tuned globally in the Settings menu or per-car through the Tuning Setup menu.
With this release, now that we are accurately simulating steering sensitivity for each car, we needed to reset the user’s “Steering Lock Range” in the Tune Setup menu as well as the “Steering Sensitivity” in the Settings menu.
The default force feedback settings have been adjusted for most wheels as well. If you have already tuned your steering wheel settings, the new default settings will not overwrite your configuration. Check out the Advanced Wheel settings to calibrate your wheel for the best experience.
Soundtrack
A selection of music from Forza Motorsport 3, 4, 5 and 6 has also been added to the game’s music playlist, alongside 3 new sequences of music from Forza Motorsport 3-5 composer, Lance Hayes.
