Relaxed, General FH3 Chat

[VXR]

That sounds like a you problem rather than a Forza problem. I've got both free cars in my Garage now.

Don't forget that the Duracell Spano is an item you need to look up directly in the Store.

No, it was Xbox Live core services, including sign-in. I often use the status checker when I can't connect, because it's not that often I can't.

 

[The Stig Farmer]

The game should have given you a "You got a new car added to your collection!" message once you restarted the game. In any case, check your garage under the "Spania GTA" manufacturer and you should see it there. If you can't see it there, that's a problem...

I have had no pop-up. The car is listed in the Promo tab, the auction house and in photo sharing, but I cannot find any trace of it anywhere.

It's in the windows store/xbox live store for free.

It is and I have installed it.

Well that's certainly strange. At worst you'd have no message pop up but the car would still be in your garage. Try to restart your whole console, see if that solves anything.

Odd, as I've been online all evening with no issues. Maybe it's a localised problem.

I'm having trouble finding the Racemo. Anyone know where it is?

The 'Gift' tab in the message center.

The 'Gift' tab in the message center.

Ahh, I see it now. Thanks

Is it selfish to wish for a classic Range Rover in the coming months to go along the Series III?

 

[Andy Voong]

After updating the game, I noticed they added one more barn find under the discovery section. Also, while browsing the promo section, I think I have an idea what the barn car will be and how it also connects with one of the Forzathons in April. Was so excited to find it but have to wait until April.

If it's the same car I've seen others share photos of you're referring to the AMC Pacer.

 

[ALAN ULTIMATE]

^ Agreed.

 

[Snorevette]

The displacement upgrades for the new Camaro seem to be a bit broken...

 

[willbsn13]

A couple quick questions.

If the Horizon festival was a real thing, what do you think would be the most realistic 'starter' car (from FH3's current roster of cars)

Also what ideally would be the starter car (or cars) for the next Horizon game (in your opinion)?

 

[JR98]

I think these would be the most realistic starter cars, if the game started you out in C Class. All cars would of course be automatically tuned to C600.

2001 Acura Integra Type R
1990 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z
1993 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R
1997 Honda Civic Type R
1997 Lexus SC300
1994 Mazda MX-5 Miata
1993 Nissan 240SX SE
1992 Nissan Silvia Club K's
1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA
1993 Renault Clio Williams

 

[yabiggoose]

My idea of realistic starters:
- Ford Crown Vic
- Nissan Silvia (any model)
- Fiat 500
- Lancia Delta Integrale

 

[JR98]

I wasn't going to include DLC cars as starters but these ones could still work

1985 HDT Commodore VK Group A
1987 Nissan Skyline GTS-R (R31)
1990 Mazda Savanna RX-7
1992 Toyota Supra 2.0 GT Twin Turbo

 

[yabiggoose]

Well to be fair I only used one. And it's a car that should've been in Forza years ago.

 

[GroupB]

I'll admit to being surprised that there isn't more "not another Land Rover, we already have one" sentiment, a la the reaction to the ZL1.
To me, it's as if they had 2 or 3 classic Beetles in the game. Yes, there are subtle differences over the years, but they're only meaningful to enthusiasts of the marque.

Off road vehicles seem to fly under the radar for this.

But it reminds me that if VW was represented in this game, would a Baja Bug be represented in the main game? I'd drive the snot out of that thing.

Don't even get me started on how annoyed I am that VW is not in the game. When Australia was announced as the setting, I couldn't wait to drive a Baja Bug through the Outback. The Meyers Manx is a good effort at a replacement, but I'd still rather have a Baja Bug.

Yeah, but what can you do.

 

[PJTierney]

The Meyers Manx is a good effort at a replacement

It's a leaderboard car in D-Class; the tune that I use has super fat rear tyres, skinny fronts and a lot of power. Great fun as you just floor it out of corners and hold on for dear life.

I have no complaints about the performance. To me, that's not the issue. Dune buggies are very cool and I'm happy it's in the game, but it's just not a Baja Bug.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Also, talking about the starter cars thing for a moment: I don't think Playground is gonna go back to that. Considering FH4 is going to continue with the Festival Boss theme, it may be better to give you a list of relatively good sports cars and go from there.

But for the question being posed, I'll give this list (Spoiler'd for length)

hi im the leader of a chilled and relaxed face book group called Drift Kings, its a open group which means anyone can join as long as you enjoy drifting on Forza, we also have a club in game a group chat where we talk about lobbies and upcoming competitions, Also we in progress of having team livery would be appreciated if you all go have a look and join if you like what you see many thanks james

 

[TheAdmiester]

I made a video of the three Forzathon cars so you can get an early look of their performance/sounds:

Vid.me is a bit odd so it might be low quality and/or you might need to select a higher quality yourself. It should be 720p though.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Damn that SEL sounds brutal and nasty

 

[TheAdmiester]

That's not even the best part:

 

[Silver Arrows]

Oh, we gonna eat, fam.

 

[willbsn13]

Wow that looks amazing, I'm assuming you adjusted the wheel off-set through the debug build?
