It also has a BOV sound with a WEAK engine sound none of which should never be emitting from that car's engine bay.
 
I am still looking for the last billboard. I have looked all over and cannot find it, I have 44/45 and I have looked at the airport and whatnot. If there is anywhere it shows the location of the billboards send it to me via pm.
 
There's a TV billboard on the airplane wing in front of the new 918 jackspot at the airfield. Various billboards on the highway, I think the one at the construction (the highway one not the one under it) is a TV board. I think one of the steps is a TV board.

Funny thing is I was missing a base game billboard before I got the packs & one of the Movie car's races, Mayhem, went right thru the billboard I need. :lol: It got me plat trophy whoopy.
 
Take a moment and just think how great the next Creietion game will look on next gen hardware.
I'm happy how this looks on current systems so I expect some amazing things.
Didn't Criterion hint at Road Rash as their next game?
 
What is BOV sound?
Blow Off Valve. You know the fart noise turbos make.

Hate to break it to you but the next gen's graphics will be the same as this one's. GT5 is at the physical max of graphics that can be achieved. Next gen will just have more power & space for games to cram in content with GT5 graphics.
 
All Supercharged cars have faint blow off valve sounds! It's Juiced 2 all over again. CG ruined the game for me with this. Hope it's a coding error but since support for the game has likely stopped we aren't getting it fixed. :(

I am really hoping they fix this with a patch QUICKLY. I don't even want to drive the ZR1 now lol.

If they get the cell models with pixel select working before next gen then we could have realistic graphics, but I doubt they'll finish in time.

CG LISTENED TO US.
lolololol.
Classic cars, old nfs cars, new areas.

I got the airfield one, and the ones on the highway, there was none at the construction, but if I looked at my map a bit closer I have 39 in the airport. If someone has a pic of their map with the billboards I might be able to find it.
 
Tell me what those missing Driver Test and Car Awards are and I'll help you out as best as I can.

Hi, I'm missing takedown 200 cops (I think I will achieve that one so we'll skip it!), Longest tracks: drift 3 miles continuously. Try as I do I can barely get over a mile before either a head on collision or another stupid cop wipes me out! Next up is Only a scratch: win an event after losing both bumpers. Getting the front bumper off is easy, just ram a police block but getting the rear one off is another matter! Just can't shift it!

My missing car awards are Eurocentrist: collect all European cars, All class: collect all exotic cars and Dream collection: collect 55 cars but the problem with those 3 is I have to have 800,000 or more SP points to buy the Veyron which will give me all 3 in one shot!! The other 2 are for collecting NFS edition cars which according to my calculations based upon one car each week will take me 11 weeks!

I wish I knew how much each reward pays out as I might be able to calculate if I could actually do this! I would also like to know if there are any sneaky cheats that payout a few SP's or $$$'s !!
 
Since I updated my game I swear the cops have become stupid. They keep hand brake turning when they see me and then crash into another car or a barrier most of the time.

What version are you talking about? Most of us here game on the PS3 & like none of that is on the console versions. Like bumpers only fall off online in a crash only.

Now how about that Jeep SRT-8 we saw leak out or the McLaren P1 they've hinted at from kingdom come.
The Jeep is on the handheld versions I believe & I never heard anything about the P1.

They became more aggressive for me. On the Mayhem race they were really smacking me up.

Oh hells yeah. Whereas before, if I stopped at the side of the road in a pursuit they'd slowly pull up and surround me, now they took a leaf out the online n00b's book and hit me at 150mph :lol:

First off, Longest Tracks is quite a b***h to get as I learned the hard way. Try doing the last Checkpoint event on Hughes Park. I managed to dodge everything but the roadblock near the end. If you hit the roadblock, it's okay, I still got the award. Just a little trick, however, it still records your drift even in mid-air if your car is at the right angle. The only way it does this is if you keep holding your finger on the right side of the car and lean whatever device you're using just a bit that would count it as a drift. If you have anymore troubles with this, let me know and I'll try to make a video on it.

For Only A Scratch, you can get the front bumper off easily and you might think the rear bumper is hard to get off. Well you're wrong. Try doing the same Checkpoint event I mentioned previously. When coming up to one of the long drifty roads, keep your car close to the side of the wall and drift down the road, making sure that your car is clipping the side of the wall. After about 1-3 seconds, the rear bumper starts to hang off the car. Wait for the next drifty part and do it on the other side this time. After a few seconds, the rear bumper will come off after clipping the wall. Then just hit the roadblock soon and hopefully, the front bumper will come off.

A good way to get some money is by grinding some of the Checkpoint events. The ones I recommend are the previously mentioned Hughes Park event as well as the last event on Callahan Industrial. The former nets you $40,000 for gold and gets around $200,000 every 7 minutes, while the latter scores $49,000 and nails $245,000 every 7-8 minutes. It's a matter of choice in which one you think is faster (I personally use the Callahan Industrial event). Just pick a fast enough Exotic car and you should be alright.

That's all I can give you at the moment. If you need a hand with anything else or still having trouble, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Not an expert at all on the mobile version, but what I do on the console version is drift around something, like the fountain in Hughes Park, when I need to rack up drift points.
 
Well after further research there are 40 in the airfield and another 5 around town, for the billboards so I have 4 in the town and if I am only missing one there is one more somewhere in the town. Unless someone knows roughly where it would be.
 
The Jeep is on the handheld versions I believe & I never heard anything about the P1.

The Jeep was in one of the menus back when the game was being demoed. Plus didn't one trailer had the H1? It appeared it was in the game at one point, might be future DLC?

Right now, the only 2 cars that you really have get used to are the DB5 and the Fiesta.

Already took down the M3 and no achievement for taking him/her down? Okay...
 
The H1 was cut right before the game was finished so I assumed the Jeep suffered the same faith which is bull because the SUV class is lacking badly.
 
Has anyone on the consoles been getting disconnected from autolog a lot more since patch now or is it just me?
 
My game is usually never connected to Autolog or it's half connected idk. All I know is the Speedwalls are never up on the stuff half the time while I'm cruising online & apparently you need to be connected to play online.

There's also no achievement if you defeat and shut down the 918 or the GT500. I'll assume the same goes for getting 100% completion on each of the packs. Maybe Criterion forgot to work in trophies for them?

Spoil-t: I'm usually half-connected to Autolog, but I can still get online easily.

They became more aggressive for me. On the Mayhem race they were really smacking me up.

Nothing seems to have changed for me. It must be the rubber banding that the Police AI has on some events.

And is it me or does the game freeze after I go into a Public game and finish a Speedlist? After I see everyone's stats and who the highest scoring player was, the game just freezes and I can't do anything. This is why I haven't played Online in a while.

Anyone know the requirements for unlocking the new cars for multiplayer?
As I said many many many times before check your Driver Details > Multiplayer Progress > Car Milestones or the pack you want. You get the "crappiest" car from the packs right off the bat then you'll have to complete multiples of 6 events online up to 24 for each pack to get all cars. So you'll need to complete I believe 72 events online to have all of the cars unlocked. Movie pack you need to use the cars for 6 events to unlock the next. Hero's pack you need to use Sport class cars. Terminal Velocity you need to use Everyday class cars. Now if you multitask you can cut down that massive amount of events. I would start with the DB5 because that'll kill 2 birds with one stone.

Now I'm off to bed. I need to get online this weekend to chip away at the unlocks.
 
I love how the Most Wanted race for the M3 GTR is around Callahan, and it ends with a jump. Just like the last event in the original MW. Nice tribute by Criterion :D

I'm having difficulty with the drift events though. I also find using Reinflates are easier to drift the Drift tires itself :dunce:

The airport building is awesome fun, but textures look a bit low res compared to the original city :indiff: Also, going on that glass double helix makes your car wobble like hell (unlike the one in front of Bloomguard Mall).

Cops are crazy aggressive now. Good fun in pursuits, frustrating in races :crazy:

Night time doesn't look that different to me. It's just darker when you turn off your lights. Nothing as scary as Hot Pursuit.

Ram chassis is awesome. Jump nitrous is only good if you haven't gotten powershot pro.

I was expecting the Charger to be able to do a wheelie. Sadly it can't :indiff:

The alternate liveries for the Hero cars are ugly :yuck: Good thing Criterion's NFS are livery free.

Oh, and I was right about another online co-op milestone. Jump 6 cars using the Porsche 918. Gotta grind in everyday cars first though :P

As fun as this DLC is, I feel it still can't hold a candle to Burnout Paradise. Big Surf Island was amazing (and better value for money). This airport is a bit meh somehow. And judging by the symbols on the license plate, this will either be the last DLC, or we got 3 more coming.
