it does, I believe right analogue stick left <=> right toggles between car division and brand emblem.
That’s actually a pretty good suggestion, fill a car with mastery points and only then move on to the next car. It’s a nice artificial way to slow car progress down, because in FH/FM games they throw a handful of cars at you every hour, which for me is ridiculous.
Yep - default display is the brand logo (duplicating the brand name, which is fixed on the main garage/car list overview), with the class appearing instead if you move the right stick left/right... or maybe up/down - the other one switches between performance data and performance numbers - but as with the required tyres discussion over in t'other game, there's no reason it should be any number of button presses away. It should be right there.
Seasonals, yes - although that does remind me of another "crap UI" point that you can't do that from the Festival Playlist screen that the game boots into (at least for the co-op required ones; don't recall whether the solo-permitted ones do that) - but not Online Adventure, the ranked multiplayer.
To add to this, as far as I know, there is no way to display the engine type...only the displacement. The only place where engine type is even mentioned is in the engine swap panel. And with some suspect engine sounds in FH4, it's not always clear what engine is in a particular car. Case in point, I for the longest time believed the Toyota trophy truck was a V8...because it sounds like a V8. It's actually a V6.
So is the pops and backfire for stock exhausts.
I always check Wikipedia if I don’t know what a car’s stock engine is. It’s indeed ridiculous, on the engine upgrade menu they show what engines you can upgrade to but they don’t mention what the stock engine is.
I’m not sure in what video exactly but it was posted here in this thread several weeks ago that the Lancia Stratos sound clip was removed. I didn’t check it myself though.
The fact that Stellantis was formed relatively recently leads me to believe that they're still trying to integrate all of their brands into a single unified licensing department (and license agreement lengths and schedules) and they just haven't gotten around to doing so with those brands, whereas they have for Maserati, Peugeot, Opel/Vauxhall and the former Chrysler Group. This is just pure speculation on my part, but that's the only logical explanation since I don't think there's something sinister going on like Toyota being in bed with PD/Japanese devs in general when FH4 launched and VW being out of FH3 but its subsidiaries in due to the Dieselgate fallout*.
Makes sense indeed. It’s a gigantic group now with so many brands, I wouldnt be surprised if licensing in games is indeed done at several offices all over the world. Most likely, if the group is recently formed/merged as it is, many of the brand divisions still operate quite individual, including brand licensing for video games, toys, etc.
