Right now I've got somewhere around 4.5million cr. Saving up for a Lykan Hypersport. I wanna be sure that I don't immediately go broke upon buying it.
Currently have just over 3m only only level 47 though.
 
I've just deleted the most recent batch of Barn Find talk.

@Rob192005 - People have asked — numerous times — to spoiler those. That you seemingly want to annoy those folks is duly noted.

Naturally, we won't have to always hide them in spoilers, but since the game isn't even out on shop stands yet, it's not an unreasonable request. Considering reviewers were asked not to spoil Barn Finds or Showcase Events, even T10 feels the same.

Don't ask...

But if you're wondering.

I'm done finding them,I'm sorry. I was just excited is all.

Edit II: I also don't know how to put those tags on but to be fair i never asked.

Can someone tell me where exactly is the barn find over here? Just don't tell me what is it (car) exactly.
Been searching for sometime yet I couldn't find it.
 
MXH
Is there any way to change kW to HP without having to revert back to the silly English units?
:P


Don't worry, the wheelspin haven't been really nice to me either, although I did win a few cars and 100k once (x2 for the VIP membership). I have absolutely no rush getting the HE cars though.
It would be nice to have metric horsepower (PS, as they're called) rather than KW. Generally within 5-10 horsepower of imperial HP, and it's much more widely used than KW in relation to car performance. And just using PSI for tyres rather than Bar. I've NEVER seen anyone use bar for tyre pressure, not even in metric countries. and the way they set it up in Forza is incredibly inaccurate. Gotta click 14 times to go from 2.0 to 2.1 for example. Not a very exact measurement.

Or Australia could've just stayed with Imperial rather than switching to metric in 1972.

I'll be loading up the game right now and have all 15, so I'll check.

To All: I've opened up a dedicated Barn Find thread to chat about them. You can find it right here.

I have found that one right after I posted that here so thanks anyways.

Another thing, how did everyone leveled up much further than me?
 
There's a highway you'll come across when driving from Byron Bay to the outback. Can't miss it, really. You'll be getting huge skills chains for nearly hitting traffic, high speed and by destruction (by mowing down some stuff by the highway's side when traffic is lacking). Made about 500,000 XP in the few minutes the skill song on Horizon Pulse lasted :lol:
Every time I tried to do this in FH2 I ended up hitting some Drivatar coming the other way and lost the skill chain.

Go to the airfield at drift side to side back and forth till you get bored. I had one last 22 minutes.
Thanks but when the skill song plays there's not enough time to pick out a spot in time to get the double points. Also I get bored of drifting very easily, don't think I could do it for twenty minutes.

I think I'll stick to jumping about in fields and mowing down vineyards to get my points. It may not be as efficient but it's more fun for me.
 
Anyone else having a ton of fun with the bucket list? :lol:
Ive enjoyed the ones in game, some friend created ones but of all the races and things to do in this game, everytime I see the create-a-bucketlist icons, I make it mandatory to create one. Really nice addition.

Though I must ask, after creating one and they ask to share with friends, I just select whomever is on the game currently, does a message pop up via xbox live or in game?

I would hate to annoy some of you with 12 bucket list challenges throughout the day.
 
Nope. Not even remotely close. Horizon Blueprint is, in my opinion, THE best addition to any Forza Horizon game. It has added SO much replayability. I did a 35 lap race (yes 35!) on a multi-surface race with all of the Motorsport cars. So much FUN!

How much credits did you get? Or does it have a maximum payout?

Speaking of which, what's the best and fun way to earn credits? Online adventure got me 100k in one hour, that was fun.
 
Argh, you quoted PRC without implementing a health warning!

We've already been discussing this in the Horizon 3 on Windows 10 thread. It seems that modern fast i7 CPUs definitely do help to avoid bottlenecks, as do SSDs, and they are limiting what the GPU can do when driving through heavier zones in the game (especially if you are running higher resolutions and maximal texture quality). Let's assume that T10/PG are aware and looking into how to improve matters.

Got about 135,000cr. and around 154,000XP. I don't think it has a cap.

Hmm, not that great value vs time, since you can get 50k+ from the high paying head to heads vs drivatars which last 2minutes. :D
 
Really couldn't stop playing the game this weekend. My homework suffered. There is so much to do, but I found that I've just been having fun driving around the place listening to music seeing the sights. I feel like they really perfected the game since the last one, improving what needed to be improved and adding so many great features too.
Same here, thought I didn't have much homework to be fair. Still, I think I got hooked on this game more than the previous installment.

Also, I found every barn find! I just need to wait for Warren to finish my last car and I'll be done with those. Now it's down to just doing championships, bucket lists, and just regular racing. I might also start saving up for the pricier cars later on.

They don't pop up as messages or notifications but when you pause the game and go to the progress tab (I think) there's a section called bucket list challenges and they show up in there.
 
The trick is to listen to the classical music station. I had a Skill Song come on that lasted 17 minutes. :lol:

Thanks dude, but I could swear this is where I came in.
Skill songs on Timeless FM are over ten minutes long 💡
The trouble is I could waste five mins looking for a motorway or just hop into a field for that time and hoon around for the whole time. Less drivatars to pull out in front of me that way. I'm looking forward to the request a skill song perk but I don't know whether that's a one time only deal or not.
 
Me: Alright, got my code for the Warthog!
-enters the code-
Xbox: "This code has already been used"
Me: 🤬

Have you tried just clicking on the message while viewing it on the Xbox? Should ask you if you want to redeem the code. That would at least rule out any errors that may have been made while typing it in.

I just tried that out, and got the same message. Oh well, I'm sure I can get it from Forzathon or just buy one in the auction house if I want it bad enough.

Unless you have the content on your console, I don't think you can buy it from the Auction House yet.

I wonder if it's possible someone else entered your code by mistake? Maybe they have a code that is very similar to yours, they made a mistake in entering it, and entered your code instead? But because they got their Wartog, they never even realized they entered their code wrong.
