This is from redesign, Turn 10 Community Ops, on the proper method for installing the extra cars if you've purchased the Forza Motorsport 2 Complete two-disc set:
"Here are some helpful tips to make your installation go smoothly."Once you load in the bonus content disc you will given the installation menu, here you can pick the specific packs you want to install. If you have already purchased DLC packs previously, then you do not want to re-install those packs. If you try to install previously purchased DLC you will run into some issues when booting the game."The best way to install the bonus disc is to remove all previously purchased DLC before you run the bonus disc. Here is how to delete previously purchased DLC: "In the “System” blade of the dashboard select “Memory”. From there select the device that holds the Forza 2 profile information (should be Hard Drive). Then select “Games” and scroll down to “Forza Motorsport 2”.
"In this menu you will see all the game save files from this console. You want to delete only those items that say "Downloaded Content", do not delete anything else but those items. Once all the "Downloaded Content" has been deleted you can begin the installation of the content on the bonus disc."
So, I'm going to have to lose all my Paints and Tunes for DLC if I want to add the cars I don't have?
Great.
Unless I can store them on the AH until the swap is done?
I read it but was suspecting that removal of download content would remove all forms of the DLC.
Once it's gone, it's gone but if the tune and paint for DLC is also somewhere else that won't get removed then it is all safe.
Which is what I get from what you just said, right?
Good deal then.
I do have a good bit of time and credits wrapped up in some of the DLC cars.
Thanks for updating the community about this Snowowl.
Just a hint on something I found.
If you already have any FM3 DLC installed on your Xbox , via the marketplace or code, make absolutely certain to remove them (DELETE) them from your 360's HD BEFORE installing the DLC from the bonus disk. I inadvertantly installed one item 2x, it appeared as the same memory block twice and about a week later, XBL had shut down my 360. It shows up as modding to them when 2 of the same memory block appears on the same 360 HD. I had to exchange the entire 360 unit to go online again.
GOTO XBOX360 Dashboard, last blade on right, Memory, Games, Forza Motorsport 2, scroll down until you see your DLC content (it appears red icon where all other memory appears gray), and DELETE ALL the RED blocks to be certain of proper installation of the bonus discs content.
Yes, all four of the LCE cars are there on the bonus disc.
