Little off-topic here, but felt the need to share it.

It was my birthday today and i got a Lego Caterham as a gift :D

I also got the Beetle but i'll build this one tuesday.
 
So...stupid question. Where do you check how many drivatar rosters you're a part of?

In the email that lets you know how much money you received for racing in other festivals.
 
I've been slowly inching my XJ220 up the airport speed trap list. Sure, it can't quite compete with its older brother, but I think the mid-270's is plenty quick enough.
 
I guess the Rivals system is broken. Nobody has been able to post times to the leaderboards.
 
I know the game is unversally praised. But I miss some roads of FH2 because it seems that every roads are too wide and open in FH3. I know there are trees, houses but it's just a feeling.
 
They sure like to remind you when you cancel your Groove music subscription/free trial. My free 30 day trial was going to be up today, so I canceled it Saturday. I've gotten 6 emails from Microsoft, since Saturday, "reminding" me that my subscription is going to end today.
 
I can barely do 6 laps in around an hour without getting tired and having my hands hurt, let alone 20.

Trust me, I was going slightly mad by lap 16. Also, forgot to mention that rewind is broken after 12 or so laps, because I crashed hard on that fast right hander leaving Surfer's Paradise and attempted to rewind, only for it to set me all the way back to Byron Bay. Plus, cancelling the rewind did nothing. It actually sent me back to the beginning of lap 13, so technically I did almost 21 laps.
 
Anyone feel like the Playground games are a bit repetitive, especially the 4 locations, gets really repetitive :(

I'm starting to feel it as well, especially since I hate cross-country races. I've pretty much decided to give FH3 a break and make some more progress on FM6 until the next DLC comes out.

There have been reports of the game becoming unstable when you do a lot of laps on Goliath, with freezing being the worst case scenario. This is what's preventing me from wanting to do a Goliath endurance race.

From trying to complete the Championships (currently on 47/63) i can tell you it definitely gets repetitive!

You get tired of races on the same circuits and using the same cars, i dont want to even see my Lamborghini Urus or my Rally Fighter ever again!, but you know you have to do it to complete the game, I'm up to 78% now...

I only do a few championships at a time, but yeah it gets repetitive. When it does I switch around cars, or upgrade or downgrade cars. I'm actually at the same percentage, aswell.
 
I don't understand why people dislike the off road racing so much in Horizon. One of the main draws in my opinion. Can drive Supercars and sports cars on-road in Motorsport. Horizon gives us the ability to leave the road and throw 4x4s through dirt and foliage and now even water. To ignore off road is to ignore some 80% of the driveable parts of the map.
If you don't want to do it, no one can make you. Just seems like a bit of a waste to me.

Nobody likes off road racing? I freakin' love it! I usually build cars for any surface possible, but mostly for off roading. I can't stick with one surface for a long period of time, it gets too boring for me imo.

However, I do respect those who don't like it. 👍 As for me and others who adore it, #Landscapingrulesyo! :D
 
I get the game freezing on me when i play with the livery editor. Has happened a few times.

Since the first update I get occasional freezes when I enter festival sites. Usually the game just hangs and shuts down but I've had a few now where the Xbox itself restarts.

I don't do a lot of liveries but I've found a flaw with the editor too. You can create liveries on loaned cars you don't have yet, but if you save progress to your designs to continue later on and quit, it doesn't allow you to load the design on the loaned car again. :boggled:

At launch the offroad stuff was definitely the draw.

My main issue is that since the PC patch which "fixed" tarmac FFB by adding horrible damping and vibration effects I've had to turn down vibrations to almost zero, which makes off-road driving feel a lot less fun.

Other than that, I completely agree. Horizon 3 is at it's best when off-road.

I can understand it if you're not into off-road racing and would've preferred more driveable roads for road cars.

I've personally always been a bigger fan of off-road racing/rallying then track & road racing. Naturally, I ended up doing the vast majority of the exhibition races (over 50 of them) in my Penhall Cholla and to me, it made for far more interesting and fun races. Currently doing the same for the Championships. I did two of them with road cars last night, which for some reason actually felt more like a chore. As soon as I changed my choice of car to The Cholla, I breezed through the next 5 event championship.
