It let me fast travel there. Only problem is it just loads forever when I try to enter the blizzard mountain.
*Strange, after alt+F4ing it won't let me fast travel back there.
Thats a bug with the PC version at the moment, they're working on a fix right now for it

From Turn10's FAQ
Judging from the FAQ, I don't need the Outback festival.
So Blizzard Mountain isn't accessible on PC?
Banderdash

That is fantastic.
For some users yes, at the moment it's not accessible. Over on the forums a few devs said they're working on a fix, no idea when it'll come though unfortunately

I'm thinking it's because I didn't do the outback festival for my 3rd one. It was the only option that it gave me but on my map I saw another one so I went to that one.
I bought a $40 gift card for this and it's broken though. Nice.

Wow, I was doing that highway run thing even before seeing that video. I have a Chevelle though, still saving money for a GT-R or a Huracan. I got all my skills unlocked and I got the game what, 3 days ago max? It helped me a lot.
Poor Chevy isn't the best tool for the job, it handles like a boat, but for sub-500k I couldn't say no.

Fuck this rubberbanding AI and the fact that they don't comply the same driving physics as you do.

Wait... This bucket list xp xp xp still works?

No, I don't know about that bucket list in particular. I was doing the highway grind by myself, going one way then back. Should've been more clear.
EDIT: Just created a bucket list for XP and it worked here. Don't know if it is the value it was before, but I got many levels going up and down the highway with my skill bonus car.
Stats- 13:41 minutes, 27 skill points, 92k credits, 137k XP, without using any XP or credit booster.
I'll try to get a better picture next time (plus a picture of the time I spent), I forgot to turn off the goddamn flash.

I have made a tune myself as I was having trouble getting a consistent 145mph also, using the same route as rss but with the tune I have made I am finding it easier to hit the ramp at a faster speed.
Just search - jump airport (or check my storefront) and see if it is any better?
I will have to have another look at this.
Cool. Thx
Yup, I don't even know the point of having difficulties if the AI will be behind me at all times.
The funny thing is that this only happens with a few drivatars only.

If you have both HW and BM installed then BM won't load, it's a known bug that the team is working on.

From my inspection it happens to a few selection of car families, mostly super and hyper cars.
I just got your pm and saw this post. I'll be sure to try it out. Did you also happen have stability control or traction control on with your tune? Is it possible to do with all those off?

Just got a 918 for 1.2m buyout, I guess that's a good deal? Also bought the '82 911 Turbo 3.3 for 30,000.

Not bad! Wonder why people are getting rid of them so cheaply, I mean they are essentially one of a kind!
got it, will uninstall HW for my BM run, ty
The audience for older cars isn't as close to the one for supercars, or someone selling the car for money to get something else.
It's comical how I can get a TVR for chump change on the auction house, although that is also a wheelspin car

Either.
A bargain!
On now some guy has five for sale all with a buyout of CR-20m and they are all highest bidder CR-10m.

I have made a slight change to the gearing, the tune is now called - jump airport 2
I don't know how to do videos, so here are some photos, these parts are key.
From this point on, these trees you need to be about 140mph, and you will have to keep re-winding back to this point a number of times because of this next part
Try and keep as flat as you can, and you need to hit the ramp heading slightly to the left, as in the video rss has made
Even the slightest nudge to the left or right can make a big difference to the length of the jump, I have been getting 550+ a couple of times.
I have tried to make the car stick to the ground so the wheels keep in as much contact as they can, I hope this helps people.

Did the stunt jump with the AMG, 553+. Used Big Alan's setup, RRS video and all aids on (traction, abs, stability).
Thanks for the help, just gotta wait now.

I have tried with TC and SC on and off, it is better with both turned on.
It is not 100%, you just need to keep tweaking the run up, I have got over 550ft then re-wound and gone again doing what I did before and I got 540ft, something was ever-so slightly different.
Closer to the time there will be more tunes, videos and guides.

The 918 is a beast, even an amateur like me managed to get a sub 9 time with it on Goliath.
Same, was able to do it without too much trouble with rewinds and those instructions.

It's a pretty great x class car.
In S2 class, it still doesn't beat other cars on Goliath at least.
are you upgrading these cars? it might be a better to get an idea of how a car handles stock before upgrading them
SmartWaffles

Don't let the way AIs drive on the long curves fool you, they don't drive on the same physics which is BULLSHIT. Even the best handled cars will have to brake and control the throttle unless it is a B class hot hatch.

Hot wheels tracks?
Just power through like a pinball, as top speed is more important than handling or braking correctly with the expansion.
LoveCake

Which tune, the jump airport 2 one or the jump airport?
Need more details, on this:
Is it the HotWheels tracks?
What car or cars are you using?
What tunes are you using?
Are you a drifter or a racer and by racer I mean, "slowing down, hitting the apex and then accelerating out of the turn" emphasizing on grip?

Jump airport 2.

Had multiple infinite loading screens today, sigh. Someone online said "alt-tab then come back", I did and it worked. But it's a shame this started to happen.

Pulled this off last night. Didn't skip a checkpoint so it bumped me to first.
Nice one! That's also how I got the cheevo for barreling the Hilux ^^
What car is that btw?

I did that when a friend shunted me off the track. I ended up nose first into the wall, but it was still a big position gain.
Also I didn't realize the display could be changed I have the traditional Forza analog tach.
Yes, I was referring to the hotwheels tracks. I've tried a few vehicles, such as the BAC mono, the Jaguar street racer I forget the name of, an old toyota, and a couple of hot wheels vehicles. I've only unlocked the S1 tracks so far. As for driving style, I've been playing with grip tunes and trying to drive through the races without hitting walls (and failing spectacularly, lol)

Don't beat yourself up over it, it's almost impossible to race clean with the terrible AI anyway.
Maybe try turning on the braking line for a bit? Some of the corners are pretty tricky to find the line for.
LoveCake
Member
he best car I found for S1 is a Ferrari F40 the second best is the Lamborghini Diablo, both with 4WD.
It is ok to hit the walls, side on slightly or with the rear corner of the car, do you have the driving line turned on? I have it for breaking zones only, you don't want to go in at huge speed, it is much better to brake then hit the wall.
I am from the grip side, what you need is to get into drifting for Horizon games, you don't need to be a drift master, but you need to learn to drift progressively, so the rear of the car steps out slightly.
The best way I can advise to learn how to drift better is with this car and tune on the drift challenge just outside the desert site
or anywhere else, have a look at some of the other comments from members in the comments after that post.
It is a monster, but it will help you get better at holding a car around and through corners, once you can get the 'feel' then you can do it with every car on any track and surface, you don't need to become a drift-king, but it really does help, the track surface on the HotWheels track is weird and even the top players/drivers are having to adjust from what I have heard and seen.

New mini patch? Just had to download something right now.
Honestly, I've been avoiding learning how to drift since the game came out. Every time I've tried to incorporate it into my racing, my times just end up being slower and my turns have been sloppier. I guess it's time to start learning. Got any examples of a hot wheels drifting setup? (Thanks for the tip, btw)
