My Personal Tunes Lick
Ive been using the ForzaTune app for several years. I mean, multiple versions of it. I have learned a lot from it. If I had never tried the Forza Tune app, Id still be using Forzas default settings for most things. Which are horrible for most cars and get much worse the more modifications you make.
With Forza 6 you have the option to import tunes from Horizon 2 and Forza 5. Which is pointless. There are not so subtle differences in the way the cars respond to tuning in each of those games. Using a tune from either H2 or F5 in F6 will give you a tune thats more likely to drive straight at corners than a perfect line.
So do you need to upgrade to Forza Tune 6? Yeah, unless youre confident in your own personal tunes. I can assure you, without using Forza Tune app settings as a basis for my tunes, my lap times would suffer.
After using the Forza Tune app...Ive got literally dozens of hours into tuning. I probably spend as much time tuning as I do racing if not more. I tune all my cars. Anyway, after using this app for so long, Ive learned to trust most of the settings to be pretty much spot on for most things. The only things I prefer to tune myself are differential settings in AWD cars. To which I prefer more power to the rear. Depending on the amount of power that car has. I think the AWD cars will handle significantly better with less power to the front wheels. As in real life. My Evo X has an active center diff. You can change the power distribution at the touch of a button. The Tarmac setting, which favors the rear, is the best handling option for dry roads. I also prefer to customize transmission gear ratios as well. Usually to try to tame cars with too much power, so I can launch without burning out and then fly through gears without wasting any RPMs at a speed the car isnt capable of.
So if your tunes arent cutting it, this app will most certainly help. And it can teach you about tuning if youre a beginner. At the very least it will save you a heck of a lot of time.
So check out this app if youre into Forza 6. If you cant spare a few bucks, then good for me. Thats one higher rank in the leaderboards for me.
One other thing, yes, you can download tunes from other users on Forza. Good luck finding one that doesnt lick. Oh, its rated 5 stars? Havent you ever noticed? Most people are too clueless to rate anything less than 5 stars on Xbox live (PlayStation Network is even worse). Its mostly kids on there. Trust me, my daughter rates everything 5 stars, no matter how bad it is.
