Forza Horizon 4: General Discussion

[Populuxe]

Car stuck on rocks and can't reverse off? Fast travel.

Fast travel is very useful in Forzathon Live, especially the Danger Sign challenges. As soon as the jump is over, fast travel to the starting point of your run up to the Danger Sign. You can get a lot more jumps in that way. Also if there is a downhill speed or drift zone, I'll fast travel back to the top. Faster in one direction than the other in a speed trap? Fast Travel.

Or rewind while there's still time to do so.

You're doing it wrong.

I used Fast Travel a lot in the early days to maximize my experiences for the review, and to hunt down boards. Ever since, I try to limit it to only Forzathon Live events now — I feel like it corrupts any knowledge I have of the map itself, and it also makes the game less fun IMO. I get the appeal though; there's so much to do that you don't want to spend a solid chunk of time just moving between events (and, very likely, getting distracted about six times en route).

I know but it's a useful function every now and then. Not something I rely on.

No I mean the joke.

I'm sure those filthy campers amongst us who like to hang back and let the more industrious of us complete the bulk (or all) of the challenge for them are extremely grateful to you for spreading this tip. I know I am.

When in doubt power out lol and wiggle the tires.

Lol, that's totally me if there are a ton of people participating. Look man, i gotta take a bathroom break sometime. Plus....how much am I really going to add in my 180 hp-ish Austin Healey 3000?

I kind of refuse to drive anything fast in this game. The slow cars are much much more fun. Recently got the old OLD ford and that flathead at low RPMS....man, it sounds cool! It can be really fun too if you tune it up so it has like 80-90 hp!

 

[Populuxe]

I've been thinking of taking a stock Peel P50 into a Forzathon live event. When we get to the speed trap portion of the event, I can just do circles on the street over the line. I might only be doing 15 mph, but I'll be crossing that line once every few seconds and it'll add up fast.

Not the answer when the car is hanging on its belly with front tires exposed.

Changing car on the scene is also a solution, which resets back to the nearest road.

When you're legitimately stuck on the rocks, powering out does nothing lol. Plenty of times I've been stuck with absolutely no wheels on the ground.

You're a terrible person!

Even easier than that is pressing start and pressing your left joystick in to reset your cars position.

I turned on the game last night and I got a message that this week's car pass cars were available (the Porsche 959 and 356) now in the store. They aren't available until Friday, though. Same thing happened last week with the RX7 and the Sentra. Getting my hopes up!

They totally got me last week with that - well played, PG(?)! This week I knew better. Still, it's weird they announce the cars as "now available" on Wednesday when they aren't really available until Friday. Someone should tell the left hand to talk to the right one more often...

Stay strong brother camper.

I've done the bone stock Peel in #Forzathon Live thing. Too lazy to swap cars. Did a few Speed Zones and Traps for the lulz too.

*d'oh forehead slap into facepalm emoji*

Besides, rewind is for casuals anyway *dabs while adjusting chainmail miniskirt*.

If this isn't your first Horizon, shame on you!

That has happened.

There's always someone who's read the manual...

Look, I can wear what I like while playing the game OK?!?

This has also happened. Ask @ShawnPhillips

Horizon is now somewhat working on XboxDVR. Dancing in excitement!



Screenshots haven't showed up yet, though.

OK the road discovery is doing my head in now. After finding a few roads to farms and player houses (Derwent Mansion for example) I've managed to get up to 528/531 but cannot find the final 3 roads I need, even using the tracker to find things to attach to or any grey markings to indicate what I've missed.

I've driven up every road leading to a turbine at Moorhead, under and over the motorway, all around the Standing Stones, all around Mortimer Gardens, Mudkickers Adventure Park, Bamburgh Castle and beach including the dunes, the Slate Quarry, unlocked all beauty spots, found all but 2 barn finds (the Spring and Bamburgh Castle rumour), dead end roads and farms.

I just do not know where to start looking as I just can't find any clues to find them on the map.

Can you zoom in on your map, turn off all icons and then take screenshots for each area? I'll have a look and see if I see anything you're missing.

Unlike @Pop I can't promise to be any help but I'd just like to say thank you for "Sometimes When We Touch". That was a great ballad.

I think there is a cooldown on how quickly you can trigger PR stunts. I've had the Danger sign at the windmill not trigger because the game was still in the process of registering the Speed trap on the road leading up to it. And even though I haven't yet tested it in FH4, I'm pretty sure FH3 had a lower limit on how fast you need to be going to trigger speed traps.

That's correct, and that can be tested by rewinding as you pass one of the events. It usually wont trigger the next one so I'd usually rewind twice in order to give it time.

Then if you're in a Forzathon Live event, can you take a supercar through a speed trap, let it register, rewind a few time, fly through again and have it register again? I might have to try that today, see what happens.

You're an evil genius! I have no idea but I'm going to try it out.

 

[ShakesMcQueen]

Or rewind while there's still time to do so.

Or go to the menu and press in LS, which manually resets your car.

It never works with danger signs and drift zones when I try it.

Sorry to have to be that guy but @ImaRobot already pointed this out upthread.

I heard doing a full reboot of the console can help.
