Relaxed, General FH3 Chat

Not to give any spoilers away or anything, but am I the only one who thinks a lot of these barn finds are lame? I've gotten 75% of them or so, and honestly I could of kept most of those in the barn, because I'll probably never drive them.

I havnt driven any barn finds yet, i have a couple left. but have no interest to drive them,

 

[magic_town]

I'm fairly certain this has happened to me once or twice, there has also been a few slowdowns (nothing as drastic as FH1 on XB1 though).



I use hood view when racing but switch to chase view when I'm just driving. You just miss too much otherwise (unfortunately I don't miss trees much).

That was my thinking too, I felt like I was wasting the scenery

This is obviously a matter of taste, but I've driven all of my barn find cars. In fact they're the only cars I'm driving right now. I love them.

Are you guys experiencing some weird freezes on the XB1? It happens every once in a while for me at random times, like cruising, or maybe even in the menus... The freezes are rather weird too, the game freezes for a second or two but the music keeps playing, then it all goes back to normal.
I'm really starting to worry that my XB1 is failing on me...

No man. Don't worry. Happens to me too and I'm on PC. It's temporary, but if it doesn't go away, just restart your game. It happens the most when you discover new roads.

Has anyone figured out how to put the lettered tyres on cars? I can't for the life of me find them.

Yeah, it's a bloody shame the Barn Finds aren't something cool like the latest and greatest supercar/hypercar/luxury whatever, right? Because that would make total sense. Seriously, who keeps old cars in garages? It's only new cars you find rusting away in barns in the middle of nowhere.

I believe they are only available on cars with body kits, not all can get them.

 

[girabyt3]

I'm thinking guys, what about a FH3 meme thread??. South park gave me a good idea

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Game got done finally at 2 am and I'm loving it. Just got the 488, hell cat challenger, gt350r, and the Range Rover.

 

[magic_town]

Just got my HQ restored and painted it red like my one in real life (mine isn't a Monaro though)

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Snagged a jag barn find for $80,000 and a reliant for $30,000.

 

[turbofozz]

Got myself a sandman for $30,000 now I've got the van and the ute versions

I never said anything about new, old, or hypercar/Supercars. I said lame, I just don't find most of them that exciting. I'm sure alot people do though, so that's ok. There's plenty of other cars in the game. 👍

 

[Luminis]

Yay, I finally got my VIP status awarded

 

[Animera]

Why would you expect to find a latest supercar in an old barn?
Old barns are supposed to have old, rusted rundown stuff.

@prousonhairy said some of the barn finds were lame, not that they need to be the latest supercars. And in some cases, I agree.

I'm personally pretty happy with most of the barn finds, but there's a few exceptions.

Spoiler

The Lamborghini LM002 and the R32 GT-R seem a tad young to be barn finds (imho), the FJ40 seems a little common to be such a special car and the Reliant just is a bit of a joke.

Not saying that the barn finds are bad overall, but there's a bunch of classics that I'd get a lot more excited about when happening upon them by chance. I'd probably leave that last one to rot, honestly, unless I was certainly able to sell it with a reasonable profit

 

[Populuxe]

I just don't find most of them that exciting.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of cars would you prefer as barn finds?

 

[prousonhairy]

Porsche 918, Ferrari Laferrari,
Mclaren P1,......stuff like that.

I don't know, I'm not going to sit here and come up with a list.
I just don't find a lot of them exciting, it's not a big deal.

I didn't mean to sound like a complainer, I'm just underwhelmed by most of them. Like I said, there's plenty of cars in the game, and I'm having a blast. I in no way meant or said they should be "all new hypercars", personally I'm not a big fan of those anyways.

I guess what I mean is, a lot of them I don't think "man it's going to be a blast ripping through Australia in that", when I find them. It's personal taste I guess. 👍

 

[GroupB]

My issue with the certain barn finds is the idea of recycling a car that has been standard issue since FM1 and suddenly I'm supposed to get excited about its so-called rarity.

 

[UKMikey]

I said this about the previous game but I wish there were separate settings for the car you cruise and explore in. I always end up switching damage off when I'm looking for barn finds and switching it on again in races.

I must say, while I share @Populuxe Cowboy's sentiment about this game's barn finds, and am getting a lot of mileage out of the Sandman and Land Cruiser at the very least... The "standard" progression of barn finds is odd. You have a supercar (the Dino), followed by a lot of easily affordable cars (at least in their day), and then finally you get to the 166M and A6GCS, which are on a completely different level of... Snobbishness? YMMV if you found the cars on your own instead of waiting for the game's "rumors".

Anyways, I am faced with a terrible dilemma, and I hope you will be able to help. I've been doing Bucket List events as I stumbled upon them; and somehow I managed to get the two BLs involving Rolls Royces in a row. Now I want a RR. Badly.

But I can't decide. Dawn or Wraith? Open-air goodness, or the reliability of having a tin top over your head when it starts pouring? I only have money for one (of course I'm gonna fetch the other too... But later). So, what do you reckon may be the best option to get my jolly good times, chaps?

The A6 was my second barn find, I think it's random.

Get the Dawn. Top down fabulousness.

 

[Chebble]

If you haven't already, drive the F12 TDF in the rain. Or better yet, do a race at night in the rain.

Spoiler

the F1 style red light at the bottom of the car flashes in bad weather. It's especially bright in night races. A nice little detail, I thought.

The attention to detail is brilliant.

Question related to the Groove Music, when you get to sign up the radio stations, does the Groove Music Logo at the bottom right even shows? or just totally grey'd out and just an empty rectangle?

This is from a youtube video on the full game...

Here, You can see the logo. However on my game, it was totally grey'd out with no logo or even that lock icon.
Well i guess i have to just play it from my actual Groove app on the xbox.

You have to sign 6 radio stations, before it unlocks. Yeah you can just play it from the app, until you sign 6 stations.

I have unlocked all 8 radio stations and all Festival sites.

That's weird, mine opened up after 6 stations signed. Do you have a subscription to groove, or do you just use your own music?

 

[Cherokee]

I have a question about barn finds. Do you have to "unlock" the first one playing, or are they available from the beginning?

My own One Drive music, although i could subscribe to the one month trial if i want to.

 

[ToyGTone]

Double Posts but i made a new xbox account, added songs to the one drive and made a playlist then booted up FH3 and guess what? The Groove Music option finally shows up in the audio settings but that means i have to start all over again on a different account so i switched back and it's gone so it's my account's fault.
