Forza 4 shows 80% Rear, the remaining 20% Front is implied (20% + 80% = 100%). This is what ForzaDroid shows: <img src="http://blog.synformation.com/wp-content/uploads/forzadroid-settings.jpg" alt="ForzaDroid settings screen" /> And here you see how you enter it in Forza 4: <img src="http://blog.synformation.com/wp-content/uploads/forza-settings.jpg" alt="Setting in Forza 4 tuning screens" /> Hope this clarifies it.

One of the first things I tried was to establish a VPN to ipredator.se with PPTP. To my great delight, it's working. Finally.

]]> Comment on The Google Chrome phenomenon by jack-of-all-trades http://blog.synformation.com/2008/09/07/the-google-chrome-phenomenon/comment-page-1/#comment-5207 jack-of-all-trades Tue, 29 Nov 2011 23:16:46 +0000 http://blog.synformation.com/?p=48#comment-5207 One advantage of Google Chrome is that when you close a tab, you are virtually terminating the process. This seems to have some interesting implications on the security of the browser. If you corrupt the tab’s memspace then you will crash only that particular process. The browser and all other tabs should continue working just fine like nothing ever has happened. The advantages are obvious: the user experience is intact. The disadvantages are that pwning might get easier. Google Chrome also implements a new privacy feature. They call it incognito. Basically if you browse while being in incognito mode, nothing ever gets logged. Another interesting feature which I need to mention is that popups are not blocked but they open in a minimized window. If you want to see them you just drag the popup icon and there you go. However this may be abused. For example, it will make a huge difference if the rendering engine has already processed the content of the popup even if it is minimized. If this is the case, then this feature could turn into a very handy mechanism of hiding malicious activities. Google Chrome also provides sandboxing functionalities. Apparently each process is sandboxed. So taking over a process may not result into an immediate pwnage but it will certainly give the attackers some advantage.

The last tuning calculator from FEUERDOG as used in ForzaTune wasn't available to me nor the public, so I couldn't use it. I don't know how he's doing things with the new version, but his comments on forzamotorsport.net suggest, that he's not making available his updated calculator/spreadsheet for the public.

So hopefully you'll have the information you need to make the Forza 4 tuning calc. Will it be an update, so you can use either calc (FM3 or 4) in one app? Or will it be a new separate app?

It makes the game so much more enjoyable. I cannot wait for the Forza 4 update. Are there any plans to include Ride Height, Gearing or the option for type of tune (Basic Grip, Pro Grip or Drift) like ForzaTune? Also, is there any way to use this on a laptop?
