Not only did the eBay Motors Car Pack release for Forza Motorsport 6 this week but so has a new update, bringing improvements and a free car. The free car is the 2015 Nissan #23 GT-R LM NISMO, which made its debut at this year’s Le Mans 24 Hours race with not much success. The unique front-drive LMP1 has not return to the track since, leaving the possibility that it will see way more miles in Forza then it ever did in real life.
I will say, kind of surprised to see this car in Forza considering Nissan’s tight ties to Gran Turismo. This was the final car used in the qualifying for this year’s GT Academy. Of course, it’s better to see Nissan working with both teams, ensuring the true winner is us fans.
On the improvements side, no a FOV adjustment wasn’t added, but a host of other things were. Of note are battery burn on electric cars, audio updates on a number of cars, and updates to the multiplayer lobby.
November Content Update
CARS
· Fixed an issue where pop-up headlights on equipped cars would inadvertently engage automatically in Forzavista. In addition, fixed an issue where headlights pins in Forzavista would not function correctly for cars with pop-up headlights.
· Fixed an issue where electric cars did not burn battery with Fuel/Tire Wear Difficulty set to “simulation”
· Various fixes and improvements on a number of cars in the game
TRACKS
· LIME ROCK – Fixed an issue where cars entering the pits at high speeds would not have damage fixed during the pit stop
· NÜRBURGRING – Fixed an issue where cars could leave the environment after colliding with a barrier on the first turn of the Nürburgring + GP ribbon
AUDIO
· Corrected/updated engine audio on a number of cars in the game
· We’ve made some changes in the various available audio mix presets in the game. For example, the “Headphones” setting has been adjusted to make the player’s car more audible in the mix. This mix will work with all playback devices and is recommended for those who prefer to have their car audio more prevalent in the mix.
MULTIPLAYER
· Server enhancements to improve matchmaking performance. These enhancements should result in improved multiplayer connections, especially for the small population of Forza 6 players who were previously having trouble connecting to multiplayer in the game.
· We’ve made a change to address an issue where players could hold a multiplayer lobby open for an indefinite amount of time by not finishing a race. As a result of this change, players can no longer sit idle in League races and accrue points. In addition, players who are inactive for a certain period of time in a race will be removed.
· Fixed an issue where lobby hosts in an Xbox Live party would inadvertently stop waiting for players in his/her party after matching into a public lobby game, backing out, and then making a private multiplayer game
· Fixed an issue where MP lobbies with roll-off delay were preventing the rear view mirror from appearing for players
MODS
· Non-performance enhancing Mods will not set dirty lap times
· Using a Mod that forces sim damage on in a race will now result in Drivatar cars also taking sim damage
· Crew Chief Mods can no longer be sold
LIVERY/TUNING
· Fixed an issue where players could unlock and share locked liveries by altering the livery in ForzaVista and then entering the Test Drive section of the game
· Fixed an issue where tunes were inadvertently prevented from being shared due to language filter bug
MISCELLANEOUS
· Fixed an issue in replays, where telemetry for Drivatar cars was showing “stock,” even if the car was upgraded
· Fixed an issue where Drivatars would be duplicated in a multiplayer lobby
