Forza Setup

Kinetic^

With the new game coming out I'm curious to see what sort of set up people use when playing.

Controller: Xbox 360 controller/steering wheel
Car View: Far/near/bumper/in car
Gearbox: Automatic/Manual (is there a semi automatic now that there's a clutch?)
Traction Control: On/Off
Stability Management: On/Off
ABS: On/Off
Damage: Off/limited/full
Difficulty: Easy/Normal/Hard
Music: On/Off (weird I know but I hate music on when racing)

If there's something I've left out, let me know.

The definition of manual v's semi is slightly off. With a clutch it would be fully manual, whereas with the flappy paddles it's semi-auto, though I believe in the game they call it manual, so if the new game has a clutch I'd imagine it will have auto, semi-auto, and manual
