Forza Horizon 3 |OT| uozoH zo

Hey ForzaGaf I just recently started playing the game since I upgraded my PC and it's been fun. I don't really play a lot of racing Sims mostly just arcade racers but this game feels like a happy medium. That being said this game still has a lot of Sim racing options and it has been something of a learning curve. I would appreciate some tips in order to get better and I was wondering what would be the best way to get used to manual driving? I don't have a racing wheel just a 360 controller but I am considering buying one for this game. Either way I'm having lots of fun with the game, can't wait to purchase that hotwheels dlc once I've completed more of the game.
Turned another odd car into a drift machine, a hatchback civic R from the 90's
I don't usually drive manual in race sims, but like the best practice would be to just cruise around and get used to what gear you need to be in at what speed, and at what sound cue/rpm to shift up on (and not at redline, you'll want to do it at peak horsepower)
Was collecting the Hoogigan cars when I found out there is a limit to how many cars you can have in your garage. lol
Also found out there is no way to "sell" cars back. The only option is to remove from garage. If I want money for the cars I have to go through the auction house. I hope they change this for the next Forza game.

There's limits for liveries and tunes too.

How many though?

This also was an issue in Forza 6 & Horizon 2, but it was harder to reach the limits in those games (I'm talking about the car limit, the livery limit offers even less space). Microsoft is at fault here for limiting maximum storage space in the cloud and not allowing to store save data on the hard drive in case something like this happens.
I deleted a bunch before getting all the Hoonigan cars, but I'm sitting at 537 cars now. Maybe the limit is 540 or 550?

550 cars. FH3 actually has a smaller limit than Forza 6.

Forza 6's car limit was worse imo - 600 cars so only about 100 over the number of cars from day 1. With Horizon 3 you get a "bigger garage" considering you had 410 cars on day 1, but still with all the DLC's, expansions, giveaways and Forzathons it was bound to cause problems as well.
After the Hoonigan car pack's release, if you own one version of every single unique drivable car in FH3, you'd have 520 cars, which is 30 less than the 550 garage limit:
-356 "on disc" unique cars
--33 Horizon Edition cars also "on disc"
--30 #Forzathon reward cars and barn finds
--73 car pack cars (10 Motorsport All-Stars + 42 Car Pass + 7 Porsche + 7 Mt Dew + 7 Hoonigan)
--18 Expansion cars (8 Blizzard + 10 Hot Wheels)
---5 VIP cars
---4 5x5 code / promo cars (Warthog, Final Fantasy Regalia, Duracell Spania GTA, Tamo Racemo)
---1 pre-order car (the most any one person should have)
16 traffic vehicles don't count because you can't own them unless you're playing a version of the game you shouldnt be playing. Even if you could own all 16 traffic cars and all six preorder cars, youd be at 541, still less than the 550 cap.
It's always good practice to do some garage cleaning prior to new DLC or Forzathon challenges to make sure you've got enough space to store additional or duplicate cars.

the only one that will give you trouble is the Land Sea and Air achievement with the Loki. The Goldmine and Shipwreck jump aren't bad. But that airport jump is almost like that Forzathon jump with the G63 AMG
Yup. It's really giving me trouble. Got within 15 feet of the goal. Will try again tonight.
I got it today. I had to use someone's tune on it. I think i was getting around 143-146 mph before the jump. I also had traction and stability control on when i did it. I didn't even get past 550. I got exactly 550.xx ft and it still counted.
When I saw the ad/trailer start playing I immediately got hyped, thinking: "Cool! They're playing a cutscene for the Hoonigan pack / DLC / achievements!"
Then I noticed the Burj Khalifa tower in the distance and realized this was the Forza 7 trailer from E3.
I would prefer if Microsoft didn't do that. Namely because I have ZERO interest in corridor racing games. I've never played a Forza Motorsport game and I don't think I will. I'm in on Forza Horizon because I love open world games.
Overall it was inoffensive. I skipped the trailer and the pre-order screen and just moved on. *shrug*

Had the exact same thing happen to me! lol Finished up all the other achievements for the pack last night. Really enjoyed these additions to the game. Shout out to Montresor, who was in free roam and let me hop over and do a quick infection event with him.
More likely it was the result of a recent Nvidia update, which tends to overwrite your saved in-game FH3 graphics settings. Did you install a new graphics driver?
I just updated to the latest graphics driver, yes.

It's a one time ad for relevant content. I would be pissed if it was for Halo or something.
It is pretty shitty how they handled this pack though. I already preordered fm7 digitally through Amazon, and had to buy the hoonigan pack. They've never heard of the preorder promo.

Boohoo they played an ad one single time for the next game in the franchise.
Mountains, molehills etc.

I don't want ad videos in my games, but I've only ever seen one for blizzard mountain, hot wheels, and now Forza 7. I can deal with that.
They do have blizzard mountain and hot wheels loading screens that always appear too.

I never had these adverts, I have the UE VIP version and I did get the DLC the day it was released, but I never had the issue of updating the game then seeing a advert before I was able to actually install the DLC.
I found this Hoonigan DLC update issue and the subsequent Forza 7 advert in the game to be very cynical and cheap, I expect better from Turn 10, Playground and Microsoft/Xbox.

I had a right game getting the Hoonigan pack, trying to get the game to update ugh.
I have put my Nakai-san Stella Artois design on the new RWB if anyone is interested ( I have a long way to legendry status)
Went in to do the #Forzathon and people have been downloading, using and liking my Nakai-san Stella Artois
one person that used it actually clicked the [like] button! whoever you are thank you!What I want to know is where I the John Cooper HE car and also where is the Mercedes/Brabus 6x6 if there was a game where this made sense then Forza Horizon 3 is that game.

Got all three cars this week, just took a little while to get a co-op game going with a VIP car.

One of the five cars you get from the VIP Pass (it's a part of the Ultimate Edition or you can buy it separately).

If you have a friend with VIP, you can join their lobby, have them use a VIP car, then you can drive it too using the car rental thing.

Oh man that's awesome to hear! Would anyone with VIP be free to do me a solid tomorrow or Thursday? I really really want those Porsches ^^
Yep, that's how other co-op #forzathons have been in the past, but this one you have to complete a race event.
Friend and I got both cars at the same time in a quick co-op campaign street race event where one of us came in first, which makes us both "win a race" (for the 914) and "complete an event" (for the 928) at the same time.
