I need help with the last bonus board, spent an hour trying to get a decent ramp but there's way too many bumps around to get the speed needed

The best suggestion I can give for that one is to switch to the Arial Nomad and don't use a large run up to the mound you need to jump from.

found my calling with the rival races. I get a pre-determined car thank god and all I have to do is just get ahead of the ghost. Varying levels of difficulty though since I chose outback and not the mundane city. Wish the main career mode gave me a specific set of cars to race in and not just adapting the race around what I have, I use a car for hours and hours before I get given a new one and having to drive allllllllllll the way back to switch the car is bad design.

Also wish we had different controls for racing and open world, I want all assists on for open world and a custom set for races since I take those seriously, pain in the ass to always switch them after I finish a race because I just spin out and crash a lot trying to get to my next race.

 

[eek5]

Man I realized you can use the horizontal HUD safe zone in HUD customization menu to move the map and speedo in. So much better on ultrawide monitor. Now I don't have to look far away from the center of my screen to see what's going on.

Switched to the Arial and while i was reaching the area at top speed i hit a random rump and perfectly nail the board

I'm still laughing lmao

150/150 yay!

Glad you nailed it mate I know I struggled a fair while with that one. This game just hits the spot

I really wish there was a way to set up the sat nav system in this game. Options such as "Tarmac only" or "prefer highways" or "shortest route" etc etc would be cool.

I hate it when I want to go somewhere and I'm in say an Aston Martin and then the nav system tries to force me onto dirt roads.

 

[ElyrionX]

Just got this but an hour or two in and there's way too much offroad racing as it is wtf

you can switch your car on the road for 10.000 credits... :S

That's a good idea.

Anyone on PC got the clutch to actually work right?
I'm using a wheel+pedals+gear shift and I can simply shift gears without ever touching the clutch pedal. I don't even need to release the accelerator.
This seems like total amature level driving game development.

I have set it to 'manual w/clutch' too btw.
It's like the game is always on 'manual' even when choosing 'w/clutch'.

 

[Sordid]

Won my first 2 HE cars in a row just as I hit level 100, the Camaro and the Ford GT. Thought I was never going to win one! They go along with the Jaguar, Subaru, BMW and Lamborghini HE cars I bought at auction.

The only problem with the HE cars is that they work online. The Jaguar was the only car I had set up for offroad but I just couldn't compete with the cars other players had. Still won the online championship by almost 30,000 points despite placing and driving badly. Felt like I cheated everyone else 😕

That'd actually be really handy

It get's cheaper the more boards you destroy.

And travelling to the show is cheaper

Hey, so i'm up to 487 roads found, I just spent about three hours retracing all the possible missed portions of the map. zooming in checking segments on the dirt roads etc. I cant find the last road.

Its kind of driving me nuts, Like I want to get on with other things, do races etc but this one road being missing is all I can focus on in the game.

I haven't built the last festival. will that possibly get me a new road?.

I'm not on PC, but is it a smooth gear change? The game will allow you to change gear without the clutch, but it should be a much slower, grinding change. You can also flat shift in this game, but if it's like Motorsport you'll damage the clutch after a while with damage enabled (I haven't tried it with damage on in this one yet).

 

[Dalibor_San]

Hey guys I'm playing on Windows 10 and the game is fun as hell, however all 3 Pre-Order cars are not showing up in game, I redeemed the codes.

Am I supposed to get them Instantly? or do I have to buy them?

I entered the following 3 codes:

Amazon:2016 Audi R8 V10 plus
Microsoft: 2016 Mercedes-Benz C 63 S Coupé
Microsoft: Halo Warthog

My game is still stuck on 1.0.10.2 is that the latest patch? It says last modified 27/9/16.

Does your wheel have auto-clutch?

I'm not really sure if it's a smooth shift. It doesn't really seem different than holding the clutch down whilst shifting. If I take my foot off the accelerator and just shift without a clutch press, it seems to just shift as if it had a clutch press. It seems like the clutch is essentially just automated.

Does your wheel have auto-clutch?

I'm not sure. I can't see anything in the settings. It's Logitech G920.
I doubt it has a setting for auto-clutch.

Got to the credits roll... people were not kidding, the last showcase was wack. If anything, they should have made that the first showcase and then bump them all down one so the one with the fighter jet was the last one.

If I remember correctly, the festival loops do count as a road, so that very well could be what you are missing.

Can I use the warthog in the PC edition? Already reedemed my code, but I don't own a xbox one.

edit: I still haven't bought the game.

I'd bet you can, since there is a drivable Warthog in the PC version.

100%, every wheelspin is doubled, which means much more cash on hand

Finally, after 39 levels:

Only if you want the cars. Personally I don't, the base game already has more cars than I would ever need.

Is anyone promoting their vinals? Not sure how that's spelled. I finally got my feet wet designing some art. Find me at var5592 I'm in the gaf group

 

[RulkezX]

How do you setup a public online freeroam ? Cam you only join someone else's ?

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Finally got the HE Jag from the auction. Somehow I managed to buy two aswell. Flipped one back for 1.2 million and made a small profit on the whole thing. Sweet!

Then I hit the Goliath grind on a 10 lap blueprint. Game crashed 7 laps in

Edit - It's also dumb that you have to redeem your money from auctions. That shit should just happen automatically.

 

[Dr Zhivago]

If there's one available you'll join it, otherwise it'll create a new one as long as there's at least two players.

Yeah and NO fucking HE cars!!!! (OK, one so far and I'm at L50)

 

[Ruruja]

I'm really enjoying the game, very strong TDU vibes which pleases me as a big fan of those games. My only gripe is the wheelspins constantly giving me the lowest credits available, I don't think I've won a single car from them!

I joined the GAF club too.

Having to redeem your money or cars is really silly. Then again having to go back to the festival to buy or upgrade cars is really silly too. There are quite a few silly minor design decisions in this game.

Only weird thing is that they look kinda low detail, i don't know why this happens.
My GT is Pakoe91 btw.

Has the AI been hotfixed since the complaints? It had gotten to the point for me where I was struggling against Pro AI, the third hardest, whereas now I can comfortably beat Unbeatable AI unless I have a badly optimised car.

EDIT: I've also noticed more human-like mistakes with Unbeatable AI like cars spinning out when they land a jump badly.

Could just be that they have more data to pull from now that the game has been out a while.

Possibly, but I remember Forza 6's "fuck you all I'm 40 seconds ahead" first place AI had to be specifically patched didn't it? It was that way for a few months.

Just finished the Bucket List and have to say its a loooot easier than I thought, also easier than FH2. For me some of the Drift Zones/Danger Jumps that I currently have left are probably harder than anything in the Bucket List ( I suck at drifting though).

There's a drift one where you're in a Holden truck or something, and it's on a thin muddy path with collidable trees on both sides, it's infuriating! I had to leave it for now.

 

[Cheddahz]

i always felt like the forza horizon games were kinda like spiritual successors to the ssx series (but you know...with cars) and this one honestly reminds me of ssx3 (in a good way)!

Got in on the target deal, and am enjoying it so far. I'd like to join the gaf club. GT is Mr Saver

Use the e-brake to get some drifts started

 

[Melkaz]

I think I might start doing the figure 8 race instead of goliath. With triple xp perk you can just drift it in 12th place all relaxed-like and come away with a ton of xp at the end. The walls make it super easy to get drift taps too so I just drift tap one wall then drift half the 8, bank, then do it again on the other side

Where exactly is this race and when do you unlock it? I have the desert festival(Outback) on level 4 and I cannot find this race.

 

[terrible]

Who is this I'm battling it out with in rivals mode? We're both in the top 15 on this specific track now. I don't know if there's much more room for improvement with my current tune.

Any thoughts on the handling from Xbone players? I'm on PC and I've gotten rid of the input lag in all the ways I can, but it still feels really heavy. I have inner deadzone set at 100 as well. I can be going 150mph and still need to push my stick all the way to the left for small adjustments, and then I tend to spin out. At this point I'm wondering if that's just the way the cars control.

don't know anything about wheels but I do remember seeing this post earlier in the thread:

I've got the clutch pedal working with my Logitech wheel & pedals. If you're having a problem, I'm guessing it's because the game incorrectly labels the clutch and ebrake on the button diagram. (Horizon 2 did this as well.)

Set the shifting difficulty to manual + clutch, and then just leave the button mapping as-is. If it says your clutch pedal is the e-brake, you're good to go. If it says your clutch pedal is the clutch pedal, you want to click the option to switch clutch and e-brake.

The faster you're going the less you'll turn even at full lock.

Inside deadzone should be 0 and outside deadzone should be 100 though.
