I have to confirm it later, but in my estimation they are adding 7,000 players every hour. They will hit 1.1 million when the day is over. Maybe 1.3 on Tuesday... I hope we have helped stress test the servers!

Edit: 1,074,285 players @18:00 CST

Me thinks that Playground are going to be working overtime on Monday to make sure that the online, especially Convoys, are in tip top shape.
 
I'm not usually a big fan of the 350Z, but with the new sound differences via upgrading parts, I stumbled upon a fantastic combination that makes the VQ35 sound like Hell's fury.

Just try the following combo; Sport Air Intake, Race Intake Manifold and Sport Exhaust.

I'm looking forward to every car I build now, to see what the best sounding upgrade path is.

I thought this was just another top 10 but it's quite a useful list. Esp as the game just threw a Jesko at me in wheelspins.



Holy ****ing ****. When he took that chicane flat out, balls to the wall in the Sesto FE, I near about lost my mind. I need this so bad. This thing is the closest thing we are getting to F-Zero, is it?

Probably becuase they're targa tops where the roof needs to be physically removed manually
The Pagani Zonda Cinque also does not have an automatic converting top, yet Horizon 5 lets you toggle the roof in real-time like the Ferrari Portofino and the 720S. Since there is no animation, the screen just fades to black and you come back with a topless Zonda. In my opinion, Turn10 really has no excuse about what cars get to be driven topless.

It looks like they only drop in wheelspins. :(

Time to start saving up for the Hotel Castillo (and clear a lot of in my virtual wardrobe for novelty clothing items and car horns).

Playground Games have listed some cars on Forza Support as missing Freeroam convertible function, so I'm sure they are aware of the issue and are fixing it. I would check with the support website.

has any1 figured out how to import tunes from fh4 or is that not possible? i know u can do designs... not sure about car tunes yet.
 
I requested to join the GTPlanet Club on Horizon 5, we will be having events setup through the club?
I don't know, there never really was any events through the GTP club in H4, but I think I might change that. Certainly, with the proliferation of off roading vehicles, and a perfect environment for it, I am thinking of bringing back a certain off road club for rebels...
 
So the map is way more interesting than the UK. It feels like Australia, but better, which is great. The races seem better laid out and the activities are decent enough too.

What's not interesting is the car list. It's unbelievably stale at this point and is in need of an overhaul before FH6. The customization is in a bad need of a redo as well. The new wheels are great and I like that changing parts make your vehicle sound different, but the body modification options are still pretty dreadful. I'm sure there's only so much they can do with licensing and whatnot, but some of it is just bad. The music is pretty meh too, especially when Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow started playing.

Overall, I think it's going to be a decently fun game and I'm sure I'll keep playing it for the foreseeable future. There are just some really weak spots in it. Hopefully, the Car Pass changes that somewhat along with whatever expansions they offer. I'm looking forward to see how they do the seasons too and I really hope they don't pull a "well would you look at that, it's snowing in Mexico!" Keep the snow at the higher elevations and have it be the rainy season in the lower elevations and it'll be good.
 
any1 know a good skill earner car? so far im using the 1991 hoonigan escort. has some pretty good car mastery perks to get it to 6 mulitplyer pretty quick and is good doing the stunts off road too.
 
I gotta say, the car gifting feature is really cool. Having a way to clear cars I'm not interested in from my garage without them going to waste completely is very nice, especially since I can choose to send them to a new player who will likely get more use out of it than I would. And when I eventually run out of things to spend credits on, I can use it to send out specially built one-offs as random presents too. This is something that really should have been in previous games.
 
I tried to enter horizon open but got disconnected then it tried to spawn me back in to the world but the game got stuck here and was shaking. I had to reset the game because it wouldn’t let me go to the main menu.

As of 0:30 CST, 1,101,210 players. That's 201.210 players added over the weekend since 800,000 were first reported!
Oh, and a major bug: The Costa Azul house that is also gifted just disappeared from my map!
A big patch on Monday would be welcome!

I'm getting a cache notification on my S. Any recommendations?
Getting this also.

If you have a disc console, go settings, devices, Blu-ray, persistent storage, then clear persistent storage.

On a digital console, power down and unplug power cable for a couple minutes.
