Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

@UKMikey you're surely Nutella-ing me you are Flake-ing bud. You must be Lion bud, Yorkie to keep this going.

When the mods finally put a stop to all this, it'll surely be cause for Celebrations.

When the mods finally call a halt to all this it'll surely be cause for Celebrations.

Until then we're all Heroes.

 

[UKMikey]

Seriously, though, confectionery related wordplay is all well and good but shouldn't we be discussing the game? I think it's about Daim as I just can't keep up when it comes to the Crunch.

 

[Edax 76]

You're right sorry bud. What is everyone's opinion on how the Aero pressure in your tyres affects handling?

 

[The_Greaser]

I'd Truss I would be able to get the '10 Clio eventually during the weekend, if I'm not so busy playing those truck sim games (read: my frequently-changing avatars of licensed trucks). And that car detailing game I've been playing lately.

When they're too flat it Mars performance but now I've inflated them correctly it's kinder bueno. 👌🏽

 

[Edax 76]

I also can't believe we have no Double Deckers to race in game. A missed opportunity I think.

 

[UKMikey]

I agree, but it's hard to get the tire pressure right on those buses. Too much and they tend to Breakaway too easily.

 

[The_Greaser]

I would certainly love meta-building Wright New Routemasters and AEC Routemasters. Give it!

Very true, you're right. Accelerate too hard and the bus would Twirl down the road and leave Curly-Wurly tyre marks.

I would love a bus or two to drive and the emergency vehicles from each country for the games.

Join the Club. I have to admit, it'd make a great expansion.

It would definitely cause a Ripple of excitement in me.

Have a break, lads.


Have a Kit Kat

The moderator has called a Time Out

 

[UKMikey]

Time to take 5. That was no Picnic. (last one promise)

Very well played Sir, and everyone else. That brightened up my Friday. Thank you.

I think I already downloaded that livery for my Raptor. Not sure if it's from @ClydeYellow, you or someone else. Perhaps whoever created it can step up and create paint jobs for some of the new cars?

I knew this thread was Bounty feature a few choccy bar jokes but I didn't expect it to turn into a Marathon. If this continues for much longer, I'm going to need some kind of a Boost.

It’s mine.

Let me Wispa a tip to you: Whenever you see that numberboard style it’s one of my cars.

Up to 87 or so now 🙂

I'm following you in game bud. Your livery jobs are top notch.👍

Sorry I didn't check for the creator earlier @PJ. I follow you in-game already and always make sure to check out the racing liveries which have actual numberboards as they look more professional. Your style is very clean and I wish the game did them more justice instead of pixellating those uncluttered lines.

Spoiler: do not open

Have to admit I feel like a complete Wonka now.

Someone built the Great Wall of China in Mexico. So maybe it should be called La Gran Muralla de México? Anyway, it's spectacular. They didn't just slap up a few raised platforms and said "Nailed it." No, they built an accurate five and a half mile long representation of the Great Wall, stretching from the southwest coast to the center of the map. The first mile is filled with pagodas, parks, ramps, alleys, tunnels, even an escape down to the beach. Then it settles down and snakes across the map. They cleverly used the natural ridges in the map to build their wall, just as the Chinese did. Take your time and really explore the map, especially that first section. There are tons of great photo opportunities. And as a race track, it's quite challenging. I included my best time in my B700 Wuling (of course I used a car from the People's Republic) in case anyone wanted to put me in my place. A word of caution: bring a narrow car.

Oh, and for people who find the game a grind or simply boring, I suggest trying out the eventlab creations made by the players themselves. Most are pretty crappy, but when you find a good one, it's worth the search. Follow the creator. Try their other creations. Maybe even try to build something yourself. It might get your Horizon mojo back.

Thanks for showcasing this EventLab @Populuxe. Those downhill runs were a little tricky. I wonder whether @Obelisk and the guys on the Beater or Sleeper thread would be interested in time trialling this one.

The Americans on this thread must be wondering what the hell the Brits have been talking about for the last page or so!

Free internet cookie to whoever paints all these up in a Ford GT livery, like so:

If you give me the HSB codes for those specific shades of red, white, and blue, then

Good question. @Vic Reign93 what do you think to running this one next week?

As long as we have a capable car for it, I’m all in for this one. 👍

I decided to try several different cars on the Great Wall track. There was only one failure. The Unimog was too large. I had to abandon at 81%. It’s hard to get any real speed out of the higher level cars because the track has so many little elevation changes that keep unsettling the cars, making it almost impossible to put the power down. Lighter, more nimble cars seem to have the advantage.

They probably think we've all gone to Mars or something!
