My wheelspins are a mixed bag. Either mostly money, or an emote/horn/clothing, and car. Can't complain too much anymore though, as the combo. rewarded me the 917 LH.

Got the AMG One today which was a nice surprise.

I'm not 100% sure what they're used for. I've been sitting at 8 for the last couple weeks. I've had over 400 downloads of my livery designs but only two people have given me a like (1 kudo per like). I gave away 10 or 12 cars today to see if I could get more kudos. I had to stop because the game told me I couldn't give any more away until tomorrow.

My stats say I have 0 likes, despite every day I get notifications of likes on liveries - which has increased my kudos to 208. I don't understand any of it and the game doesn't explain. In fact, in the creative accolades, I have some for what the game itself calls 'likes' on liveries and vinyls. But the game also says I have zero likes. It must just be bugged. Even so, I would like to know what kudos is for and whether it is just another name for likes, or what.

Anyone else having issues of the game not registering cars even though you own them? like for example I was looking at which cars I hadn't took pictures of yet and I own the X-class,the Colorado and the Wrangler but there isn't a picture of the garage beside them also when I take a pic of them it says I have already..well no you wouldn't show up here if it registered...

Because the FE one don't belong to the Truck category but it's an Ultimate Offroad car.

Yep - some of the more generically named categories are starting to get confusing for many people. Perhaps for FH6 there needs to be a reconsideration of how vehicles are categorised, and/or a larger rethink allowing multiple categories per vehicle. For example, the FE lorry should really be Offroad (it's designed for dirt), Extreme Offroad (the current specific category), and Trucks (its general type). Categories with vague names now like Offroad would ideally be renamed to something a bit more specific, like Light Offroad or something.

The Horizon Promo menu is pretty broken since launch - it shows all of the cars in the game, even if the player cannot own them, and only player-ownable cars count when photographed. The Colorado and Wrangler at the very least also appear as almost identical traffic cars which the player can't buy, and the menu will always show that those versions haven't been photographed because the photo mode ignores them.

The same is true for the other traffic cars like the Beetle, as well as Stories-specific versions of cars like the luchador-driven 205 T16 and Metro 6R4. The telltale is usually that the non-player versions won't have a car category logo, but not always.

I actually just came back to make note to @AOS- that the suggestion he made was only 80 to actually, but I’m guessing he has that house. Thanks for the heads up and right in the nick of time too, because I just started up to get the season going.

Oh true. I forgot about that house that doubles your earnings. Didn't think it would affect the weekly payouts like that.

Call me crazy but since Horizon 4, I think you can time your wheelspins. I've been able to get the exact item (or the adjacent ones due to to inconsistent timing) that you see before the wheel begins spinning, more than a handful of times. I know it's that spot on the wheel because I can confirm the adjacent items are the same. So if there's a decent enough car or cash prize the wheel sits on before you roll, I aim for that.

Actually, ever since I rolled out a keyboard macro to automate my Firebird shopping, I might be able to try automating the wheelspin so I can get the exact timing when to stop the wheel and see what the results are like. Hmmmmm 😱

First forza game i played ever,im having fun collecting cars,i like the auction house functionality getting cars cheap while laughing admiring the 15 mil truenos. Its not perfect and it made me apriciate both gran turismo and forza, both do does things better than the other but i think they can coexist (at least the horizon line)
On to the many bugs now 😒

1mph more for the seasonal speedzone bug again,like last week for me, still haven't figured a solution , online play is laughable limited at least for now , also many of the cars feel the same the only factor that differencitate them is the drivetrain layout , my expectations coming to this was a refined test drive unlimited experience and thats what i got,and im generally satisfied

Almost forgot about new car pass car. Must confess I'm seeing it for the first time. A nice discovery.

I seriously love this Mercury.

Me too! I've been waiting for it to arrive since it first showed up on the leaked list. Interestingly, it is the first Mercury in the Car Collection screen, but there's no manufacturer affinity reward for it. I wonder if that means there are more Mercurys to come or if it was just an oversight.

I'm hoping for the former because it means the '49 Coupe will return.
 
Deadheadbill
Yeah, that's a pure muscle machine and when I went to look for tunes for it every tune but 2 were AWD conversions.

I'm losing faith in humanity...

Try my authentic 429-setup. Stock driveline, stock weight, street-tires with 265 rears, realistic suspension.
Might not win any races but I could drive it all day..

Setup: 696 995 823 Matching paintjob: (175 630 300= wrong) 852 305 854!!


About wheelspins, I just spent 4 mills to clean out and buy up all the clothings:irked:

I wondered if the Treasure Challenge would work with the Hoonicorn Mustang, just done it - it does. Easy to get 10 stars south of the Baha area in the west of the map, loads of easy speed traps and so on.

Don't forget the Mercury Cougar Eliminator aswell.

Been meaning to ask if you've found this as well, since you're extremely well versed in these sort of discoveries. If you've already addressed it, my apologies.

Fake as the day is long.

Re: The cars - Toyota Celica, Mustang Mach 1, Peels, and a few others actually show up in car collection, most of the others don't. Someone also pointed out that it's exactly 24 cars - advent calendar?

Maybe, but I'd be willing to bet that a few of those are car pass cars, mostly the new to Franchise models.
