Forza Horizon 4: General Discussion

[TheAdmiester]

There's two, but it would require so many skill points that it wouldn't really be worth doing it repeatedly.

Looks like it would only cost 20 skill points to get both the 300,000CR and a wheelspin on the FD Mustang, so about 3 minutes of grinding with an M6 FE.

If you’re like me and your other sources of spins (influence bonuses) have slowed way down with levelling it could be useful lol.

It would actually be 40 since you have to unlock the adjacent skill point's first.

I just did it for 20. On the Mustang the 300,000CR is at the top left and the wheelspin perk is at the right of the first perk.

1 point for the initial perk, 3 for the one above, 5 for the one above that and 10 for the 300,000CR you’re trying to reach = 19 points, then you’ve already got the wheelspin one available which costs one more.

Is there a way to make money quickly in this game? So many things you want to buy (and some which you HAVE to buy to unlock things), not enough cash.

I can't remember the name of the race but there is a circuit race in the northern east corner of the map. I've been doing 50 laps races with a Alfa Romero Guila FE. Racing 45-50% difficulty cr I make over 400K (not including wheel spins) for slightly less than an hour of racing. I also have all the skills unlocked for this car by using a Renault 5 Turbo FE at the small airstrip/dragstrip/drift spot to grind for skill points. If I wasn't trying to get every car like they were Pokémon I'd have 33 million credits. Instead I have 252 cars and 4 homes (including the VIP house and starter house).

I'm talking about getting both, which seems to be the only way it would be worthwhile considering how long it would take to do the whole farm a bunch of skill points> buy car>do the car perk thing>sell car and repeat. Seems it would just be more worthwhile and fun to just play the game normally.

Like I said for people who are a higher level it’s quicker than repeating races or Goliath if you’re only after spins, as the influence gains slow down drastically after a while.

Well that's interesting. The BMW X6 M only has 13 car mastery perk, not 16 like all the other cars I've seen.

Edit: and the Ford Capri only has 11. I guess there are more of them than I thought.

 

[CSLACR]

I can do without the Rolls for sure. But Toyota has that one car, a few cars that are cool, but that one car.....

I miss the Supra greatly, and the last gen Celica. I just don't like the brand, or anything new from them. (Sans this "new" Supra maybe)

I did not know that, regarding the controller mapping. I'll have to try to that, thank you. I probably won't use the clutch, at least for now. I have enough to get used to, haha (besides just the physics and controller, there's a whole bunch of game knowledge I lack - what builds a good car for the class, or even what cars are good period). If I can map the shifting to A-X and the E-brake to the RB, I'll be happy with that.

Of course, I'm going to give it time to mesh. I started re-using a controller only a few months ago, after using the steering wheel for a long time. It's definitely a difficult transition. The triggers on the XBOne controller do seem good, but they're a bit softer than I'd like. I'm sure the more delicate touch will come with experience.

I did set the deadzones to 0 for the steering, gas and brake. It did help the responsiveness (for the steering especially), but it still doesn't seem very good on the XBOne vs. PC. Though it doesn't seem particularly great on either. I suppose I'm just going to have to live with it for a while longer and see how I feel later.

Thanks again for the tips.

Regarding good and bad cars, I just pick ones that I like and make it happen.
Tuning (building, moreso) is pretty fun, the top piece of advice I can give you is to not focus on power too much.
Oh, and wide tires > tire compound upgrades.
Racing suspension makes off-road a nightmare, transmission upgrades can even lower your cars rating while boosting performance. Always check the transmission options first.

Hope that helps some. 👍

^^^ Another video with the wobbly chase cam. (I can't get on with arcade view and use the dash/cockpit on any game if it has the option)

Out of interest which views do all you guys use as default cam on FH4 ? Arcade or Sim style? Controller or Wheel?

Almost always chase far, for better field vision, although if I truly know where I'm going on the road, cockpit close is fastest for me.
Off road, anything other than chase is a nightmare to me.

Barns. What am I supposed to do when I get to a barn?

Just drive to it and the cinematic of the finding of the car will kick in.

 

[Techlet]

Man, what is with the James Bond cars not having race suspension upgrades?

You're stuck trying to McGyver either a wobbly rally suspension or a drift suspension with too much steering lock just to be able to tune the car...

 

[Xavier2342]

Over the past few days I've watched the price of the Aston Martin Vulcan FE in the Auction House decrease at a mildly dramatic rate. Is there some special skill reward people are taking advantage of then selling the car? I don't have one yet but I have considered bidding on one.

Has anyone seen how crazy the AI drive in this game. Was flying down the highway when a friggin' bus makes a u-turn right in front of me before the tunnel. Just drove straight over the grass median. Not surprisingly I smacked into him at full speed.

all AI want to turn at the end of that tunnel, they need to fix it, it happens on both sides of the road.

Man i taught the Cayman Gt4 had a funky sound but it really sounds close to this bad boy.

Buses also have a tendency to just pop into existence right in front of you in this game.

They really need to fix that AI glitch with every drivatar driving the same starter car in every race. I'm kinda fed up to see TTs and Fociis hanging with my McLaren on the straights.

I was wondering about that too, it's a very strange omission unless they were meant to have adjustable suspensions at stock and changed it at the last second for whatever reason.

Though I have noticed that, at least with the older cars, the drift suspension works just fine if you at least bring the camber back up to -1.0 or so from its absurd stock settings. Definitely gotta do a full tune to make them feel properly stable though.

What do you mean by Pro Street style?

 

[mustafur]

What do you mean by Pro Street style?

Pro Street Drag racing.

Yeah, seeing a Focus on stock suspension pulling equal or better times that me in my 998 F40 C is breaking my immersion in half. It makes me wonder what else is to going wrong under the hood and putting me off from playing until they fix it.

 

[RYAN]

Enjoyed the "Rally Monsters" Seasonal CO-OP championship. Did it fairly quickly this time, Nice to have a competent team mate in CO-OP finally. finished first and second each race so it didnt matter that the rest of the team were failing at the back of the pack like usual

 

[WanganDream]

What do you mean by Pro Street style?

It is the style of a drag race.

 

[raven214]

Had my first game crash tonight. I was on the 3rd round of a Forzathon event (drifting IIRC) when the screen froze, the sound stopped, and a after a few seconds the game crashed back to the "desktop".

I think cars have more skill perks the rarer they are and only Legendary cars have 16.

I'm pretty sure stock suspension wouldn't slow it down in a drag race...

You can also find real life Pontiac Grand Am's turning 7 second 1/4 miles.

Secondedindeed

I never said I was drag racing. I fact, I hate drag racing. It was an anything goes circuit race and everyone but me were in the starter cars but somehow are going as fast as I am in My Extreme Track Toys class car. That shouldn't be physically possible.

 

[CSLACR]

Why is it winter?
I'm seriously pissed right now. What the ef.

Annnnnd It's fall again. (Restarted)
Well done PG.

Abra cadabra.

How do you make a house your default home when you start up the game?

On the map it says simply go to the house you want, but I always start up the game in Kingfisher Cottage.
