Welcome one, welcome all,
 
Speaking with Phil the other day about AC I suggested running an AC time trial and Lee said he was thinking about reviving the GT Sport time trial.  So in the immortal words; why not both!
 
I'm thinking a similar format to how I did the GT Sport time trial before - a week running Monday - Sunday, I use a randomiser to select a car class and a track and fastest time wins.  There will have to be a few differences with AC, as AC doesn't have Balance of Power that GT Sport does.  So GT can be done by class and any car of that class can be used where AC will be specific cars.  I can't see why AC on PC and PS4 would be different and as George should soon have my copy of AC, opens it up for him or anyone else to join in too.
 
So, specifics - I'm thinking for each round
 
GT Sport:
1 Track
1 Car class - open to any car of that class.
Balance of Power (or BoP for short) enabled
Everything else free to do what you want - set up, tyres etc.
 
Assetto Corsa
1 Tracks
2 cars - Can't run classes really in AC unfortunately so will have to be specific cars.  I'm thinking 2 cars as opens up for one car to be a challenge and the other to be a little easier to drive.
As with GT Sport, everything else - set up, tyres etc. to do with as you want.
 
I'm thinking round 1 to start on Monday 22 June but posting now to get peoples ideas if they want changes to above made or have something specific in mind?
 
@phil bottle @GazzaGarratt @G_dub52 and anyone else that wants to join in. 

The Holger you need to run as an AR. I actually win most of my close quarters fights with it as well due to the sheer damage output. I think I run it with the integral hybrid, stipled grip, sleight of hand, monolithic suppressor and merc foregrip. The one gun it can’t compete with up close is the Mp5, also can’t compete with M4 at any range as that gun is just stupidly OP 😂

User error dude 😂.
 
I can only apologise for bringing crack head Dave into the equation.

Yeah, it's no problem.  As I said, I only bought it for the PS4 for the Hereford meet so it hasn't been touched since.  PM your address and I'll sort out getting it posted to you 🙂 You don't have to give me anything for it so if you want to "pay" for it then send it to FG fund.
 
 
It's weird switching between AC and GT but no reason we couldn't do both - then I kick all yo' asses in both 😄
 
WIth GT Sport I do miss a lot of what made GT, GT; the campaign and licences, buying and tuning cars to have a better shot at races.  Even stupid things like the used car market.  The tuning in GT Sport is just up a percentage and that's it you've got more power.  I understand what, as it make balancing cars a lot easier but I do miss the tuning aspect.  The turning in Forza was IMO one of it's strongest points - because you could change every part of the engine you got to choose your balance - massive turbo for massive power but equally massive turbo lag with no room left for chassis mods else you'll end up in the next class or do you do all the chassis mods and be monsterous round corners but slow on the straights.  This sort of customisation would be awesome to see in a GT game.

Has anyone else ran into full lobbies of people running the Fennec/Vector yet? Seems to be the only gun I get killed by now 😂 Fucking rediculous

Top offer @Greboth, absolute legend of a cunt man 💛 I actually didn't even realise AC was on PS4, was thinking about resurrecting the time trial stuff because of how good GT 7 looked.
 
What made GT stand out initially as a series was the detailed yet easy to understand customisation of the cars and the vast campaign with multiple classes to go and accomplish. I really hope that the campaign they are promising delivers, it looks stunning.

Hey dude I would be on PS4. Until I move house with internet that isn't powered by a hamster in a ball I won't have a proper PC setup. This is why I had to borrow a laptop for the poker haha
 
If you were willing to let the PS4 copy of AC go I would love it! I am happy to pay or Ill make a donation to the FG fund 👍 thank you so much 🙂

As usual another great night and banter. 
@GazzaGarratt it's not like I'm dileberatly aiming for you it's just you're always in my way 😂

I don't think there's been a better fit for a FG Friday night game than Wreckfest. 4 hours flew by before we knew it. Great to see a total of 16 of us across the night too.
 
@Greboth is starting to get the hang of it now and be that ultimate prick that wins every race...unless Rich @tronic44 doesnt friggin win it. Double pricks! Oh, and @phil bottle is starting to become one of these elite pricks too picking me off at every opportunity. What's happening to you caring bastards!
 
Paul @slamminbones  was his usual self smashing me 50 miles up into the air. Nice to see new boys @Tadnothad  and @Findmartin  join the Wreckfest carnage. i enjoyed destroying them both but I think Tad enjoyed so much he passed out by the end of the night 🤣
 
@Diddums was spectacularly late. So late that he still needed a fag after the hard work of 1 whole race.
 
@techno  impressed me last night, he was quite well reserved and didnt come last everytime. @TonyAE86  is becoming my bad habit. The amount of times I nearly wrecked somebody, his car pops up and smashes me off course. Cheeky bastard.
 
Good to see @crispymorgan  getting back on the road of ol' FG. It didnt go a miss that you were telling your son to kill me too, forgive and not forget, bitch 🤩
 
Top, epic night. GGFG all @G_dub52  @slamminbones  @Stretch616  @techno  @phil bottle @tronic44 @Greboth @crispymorgan  @Findmartin  @phil bottle @Spacedeck  @Tadnothad  @TonyAE86  @Diddums @Ajay1997.

Last night was great fun, exactly what i needed to end my working week.
 
I absolutely nailed @Stretch616 on one corner, struggled to breath due to laughing so much after that.
 
GGs all!

On PS4, try out Gran Turismo Sport, it's a really well done mix of sim and casual. A few of us have it and we used to do a weekly challenge where Greboth would choose a random track to time trial. Which he would always win, as he cheats. [emoji847]
I still play it most days if I have time. Check out SuperGT on YouTube to get an idea of it.

I've just started Assetto Corsa on PC and it's a very good game. Wish I'd played it sooner.

Gran Turismo looks like its going to be amazing i just hope the range of cars improves! 
I was thinking about trying Assetto Corsa as one of the lads at work keeps going on about it. May consider a purchase after payday.

Sorry I bailed after only a few races. My daughter was in desperate need of my help.
 
It seems like a great game to play online and it's carnage with you lot. Hopefully I'll be able to stick around for longer next time. 

Pissed myself last night, so much fun and tears of mirth[emoji39]

Hey guys!
 
Here are the patch notes for S4
 
WHAT’S NEW
Weapon Mastery Challenges! Once you’ve unlocked Gold for a weapon, Mastery Challenges become available. There’s 8 Challenges per weapon, each granting their own rewards, with 4 Playercards and 4 Emblems up for grabs. You’ll need to make your way through 2 Kill Challenges, 2 Headshot Challenges, and 4 additional Challenges that must be done in order (Gold, Platinum, Damascus, Obsidian). Completing all challenges for 51 weapons unlocks a badass special Sticker and Playercard!
Warzone In-Match Events! Events can occur during Warzone Battle Royale matches and have an impact on the strategy and approach to gameplay. Events can happen in any given match without advance notice. When they happen events will always occur mid-game. E.g. after the first drop kit and before the Gulag closes. Only one event type will occur in a given match, so familiarize yourself with three new event types, available at the start of Season Four – ‘Jailbreak’, ‘Fire Sale’, and ‘Supply Chopper’.
When a ‘Jailbreak’ occurs, all players that have been eliminated will be released back into the match. Whether you were waiting for your 1v1 in the Gulag, or had been relegated to a spectator, now you’ll have another chance. You will get a one-minute notice before a Jailbreak event happens to find additional armor or secure a weapon for your returning teammates. Jailbreak events can occur any time during the middle game of a Battle Royale match, so it may
be worth it to spectate, just in case. Be mindful that when a Jailbreak occurs, it’s not just your teammates that are coming back, but tons of additional enemies.
A ‘Fire Sale’ is an in-game event that temporarily discounts most of the items at a Buy Station up to 80% or even gives items out completely free. A Fire Sale is the perfect time to pick up a UAV, Armor Box for your squad, or even a lethal Killstreak. During a Fire Sale buying back a fallen teammate is completely free. If your short on in-match Cash, a Fire Sale might be the best chance to redeploy a squadmate. Note that even during a Fire Sale, Loadout Drops are not discounted. Fire Sales only last sixty seconds, so expect Buy Stations to be crowded and prepare for a fight.
A ‘Supply Choppers’ event brings a non-lethal, but heavily armored helicopter to Verdansk. The helicopter will have a lot of health, and it will require a few rounds of bullets and maybe a rocket or two to bring it down. The helicopter will not shoot at you, but make sure that while you’re distracted enemy teams don’t take advantage. Once you destroy the Supply Chopper, it will drop high quality loot for players to pick up. This loot includes three UAVS, two armor boxes and munitions boxes, a gas mask, a grenade launcher, and tons of Cash at a minimum. Supply Choppers leave after a certain period of time, so if you want to take one out start firing right away. Remember, that after taking down a Supply Chopper, you have to collect the loot. Watch out for enemy teams who might try to take you out during the collection or steal your hard-earned rewards.
Contraband Contract System! Contraband is a new, rare contract with a permanent Blueprint Reward. Contraband contracts have a chance to spawn after a previous contract is completed. If you see the Contraband briefcase, hurry up and collect it. Once you have it, take it to the designated Helicopter Extraction location to call in the helicopter. The player carrying the briefcase must deposit it into the helicopter drop-bag to complete the mission. If you kill a player carrying this briefcase you can steal it complete the contract for your team. Be on the lookout for them on your Tac Map!
 
PLAYLIST UPDATE
Modern Warfare
Barakett Promenade has been added to Ground War! Trench Mosh Pit (2v2)! Scrapyard 24/7!  Blueprint Gunfight! Warzone
Quads Trios Duos Solos Blood Money Warzone Rumble! Warzone Rumble is a brand-new mode in Warzone. Two teams of 50 players parachute and battle it out in various areas around Verdansk. This mode is high action with custom loadouts, vehicles, and quick respawns.  
Modified Special Operations:
Just Reward - Veteran Just Reward - Regular DOWNLOAD SIZE
The Season 4 download is going to be large. In order to reduce the overall disc space that MW and WZ take up, we're compressing a bunch of assets. Once installed, the S4 launch will only take up an additional 4GB on consoles for all of the new content.
We're continuing to sweep all assets to make size reductions where we can, and also further optimize future patches for size. If helpful, one reminder for console players, you can uninstall the content packs for modes that you're not playing if you want to free up space. 
You can learn how to do so HERE.

Some interesting changes. I think jailbreak could be of use the way im playing at the minute 🤣
 
I look forward to seeing you in the zone!
 
GGFG

So the blueprunts work like standard you get them in a contraband crate and then you can use them in your loadouts.
The new 50 v 50 sounds abit epic aswell if we get all of FG on a Friday haha.
 
I love the idea of getting through a decent chunk of the game and then possibly another 50 to 60 people or whatever just all spawn at once and drop in I think its going to get quite tasty in the zone!
 
You will also be happy to know I didnt have to delete any games at all to download haha.
Can't wait to get back on after the update! and work and all that....
