Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[Famine]

You didn't mention anything about getting the challenge without winning the race, which is partly why I posted.

Well, I wouldn't know because I don't lose races

It is an odd one all round though. Clearly glitched, but at least in the player's favour this time.

 

[ALLSETFORMOVE]

The most anticipated new photo mode feature from me:

Place my own cars (maybe up to 10) on the road just like Gran Turismo does.

 

[Beebo]

That'd be a really neat feature, would make it far far easier to do multi-car shots. That along with a daytime slider and a weather toggle would be excellent.

 

[-Fred-]

Judging by this week's photo challenge thumbnail in the playlist and how the Countach and F40 pictured have open body panels, I think it's a hint towards Forzavista integration in photomode.

 

[Nacho Libre]

We are going to beta-test the photo mode in FM, aren't we? (We are already previewing some of the cars...)

 

[DJTHEKING]

Looks like they added some more boards to the map 😅

 

[Beebo]

Just like there being about 20 more locations than actually exists, and it was like that for quite a while!!

1-4 Trial finish for me in the Lynk but the second race winner was behind me in the first race by less than a tenth of a second in his XKR-15. Probably because I was doing that spin to win idiocy at the end.

At any rate it sounds like XKR could be the way to go with this week's event.

All the cool kids go over the finish line backwards bud 😂😂😃

Never gets old...

 

[Edax 76]

Talking of race finishes, I got my first flat time for a finish I can ever remember the other day. 3 minutes and 20 seconds dead on.

 

[Populuxe]

I used the Morris Minor FE for the Trial. I had fun but it was a bit of a handful. My teammates were the usual simpletons. We lost both of the first two races. And yet it gave us the championship. Well, whatever. Saves me from having to do the Trial again.

 

[NotThePrez]

Hot take: The RS6 Avant (and RS7 Sportback) has the best V8 sound in the entire game, bar none. At the very least it has the best racing exhaust in the game, as it keeps the same tone but adds more burbles and pops under deceleration.

 

[Populuxe]

No matter how many times I win the Festival Drag Strip in the Ultima, it does not register in the weekly challenge.

Is it not auto completing the Forzathon event for you bud?

 

[Populuxe]

I just logged in, and it finally acknowledged the win and auto completed for me without running the fourth event.

Happy days bud. Glad it's popped for you. It wouldn't be FH5 without a bug would it 😂😂

 

[The_Greaser]

Broken Weekly Forzathons just seem to happen sometimes. It happened to me back in Series 6, with two weeklies involving the Peel and the V-dub Bus. Both of which were completed out of order.

 

[Apple Slipper]

Acquired the new 2021 Audi RS6 Avant! I LOVE performance estate wagons!

 

[Beebo]

So is there a reason that chrome in FH5 looks so dark in direct sunlight? Trying to find a way to brighten it up.

 

[ALLSETFORMOVE]

I mean, if we change the stock supension to something like sport/race suspension, then we will no longer have the four wheel steering capability. Is this the way it should be or another bug?

It seems to be intentional - there's clearly no technical limitation as cars like the Beetle FE and Sesto Elemento FE have both racing suspension and all-wheel-steering.

 

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

If I had to guess, it’s meant to replicate the fact that many people remove 4WS systems when replacing suspension. Something to do with it being too intrusive for a lot of people and/or not always responding well with modifications, at least in the cases of stuff like the R32 Skyline.

 

[Edax 76]

30 million players now according to the in game counter 😮😮😮. Pity everybody didn't stay around.

 

[Nacho Libre]

I will posit that if the money and cars weren't so easy to get there would be more engagement. I do think TC2 does it better, you have to work for the money/cars (and here they are, still churning content).

You're probably right to be fair. I've never played The Crew 2, seen it on sale a few times in the Xbox Shop but never took the plunge.

 

[RazorSharkz]

The Crew 2 is very fun. The physics are kinda wack but once you get used to them there is a lot of fun to be had. Especially with the variety of vehicles.

I might have to take the plunge next time I see it on sale then. Cheers bud.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I like The Crew 2 but I like Horizons handling better.

 

[Beebo]

I think I wrote off TC2 when it launched because of the physics but mayhaps I'll have to give it a go then.
