I think the realism difference is becoming even more distant now. I think that is mostly because of the decision by the Forza developers to force hidden driving assists on the player. Perhaps they will do away with that in the next version and blow away GT5. _________________________ The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

I'm actually tempted to pick up an Xbox360 and Forza3 now, the only thing keeping me from doing that is lack of wheel support, do you guys play it with the controller or MS wireless wheel? I might pick it up and play it with the controller like I do arcade racers such as Burnout. _________________________ --John i5-2500k@4.8ghz, Asus P8Z68-V Pro/Gen3, 8GB G.Skill@1600, Noctua D14, X-Fi TitaniumHD MSI 560Ti/448OC 1280MB@900/1800/2250, 3 x P2310H monitors, HAF932, Corsair TX850, Win7x64Pro TrackIR4, Saitek X52Pro + Pro Rudders + Cessna Trim Wheel (sim flying) Fanatec GT2 + G27 pedals (sim racing) PSN/XBL/Steam/EA/ProjectCARS: Kludger iRacing/rFactor2: Joao Silva

Magnum Land & Armor Combat Editor XBL: Magnum SimHQ Lifer Registered: 01/27/03 Posts: 23287 Loc: Naples, Florida	I play with the FANATEC, lol... but I wouldn't recommend FM3 now... after GT5 i see the many shortcomings i didn't see before, and now don't even enjoy racing/playing it much... I do recommend a used copy of Race pro thou. _________________________ Magnum SimHQ Intel i7-2600K processor Cooler Master Hyper N 520 CPU fan Asus ROG Maximus IV Gene-Z mobo 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 DDR3 RAM Asus ENGTX570 DCII GeForce 570 video card Western Digital 640GB 7200 w/32MB cache HDD Corsair TX750M power supply Corsair Carbide Series 500R black case LG CD/DVD optical drive Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit

RacePro was still the only game that I wanted to get but havent gotten because of scheduling and budget changes in the last 2 years, now that my budget and scheduling issues are about to be fixed, I cant find it anywhere on shelves. _________________________ Skate Zilla Chevron 11 (Born Feb. 2012) Cooler Master HAF 922(Mesh Side), 700W OCZ, Windows 7 Pro, Windows 8 Beta ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Pro, Corsair H100 Water Cooled AMD FX-8120@4.0 GHz, 16GB G.SKILL Sniper @ DDR1600, WD 1.5TB Black Sapphire RadeonHD 7950@1.0 GHz Core/6GHz Mem., ASUS VS248H-P 24" LED x 3, 5760 x 1080 Eyefinity, Creative XFi Fata1ity Platinum Champion, Intensity Pro 10-Bit HDMI Video Recording, Ceton InfiniTV 4 PCIe Skate Zilla HD Studios On Facebook
