What did they do to the Aventador SV's sound? It sounded distinctly different and fairly accurate in the videos - one of the reasons I got the VIP Pass. Now it sounds exactly the same as the LP-700 and Centenario.

Yeah they changed it for this game I don't know why. But I'm not complaining. Sounded horrible in the other games for the regular Aventador.

Really? You don't like the FM5 and 6 sample? It's fairly accurate. But that's not the SV version. The SV does have a different note, albeit having the same engine.
 
Who else admires this screen (that decides to endlessly load) as much as I do?

Is this is a PC exclusive thing or does it also occur on Xbox? Either way: :banghead:
I've had this in PC since launch. I simply click the mouse onto my second screen and back to the primary screen and the game immediately continues.

You might be able to do the same with alt-tab, not sure.
 
So I got the Brat HE nice and easy just by driving out and doing the first event i came across which was a drift zone, For the Elemento I bought a Fiesta XR2, stuck the tictac livery on it and did for online events and then got a message saying i won the car, didn't bother with the three-wheeler/Reliant thing as i can get three Wheelspins anytime and it seemed a bit pointless to me..
 
I decided to start the game over from the beginning yesterday and a few interesting things happened.

Once I unlocked Horizon Online, the game gave me all of the prizes that I earned in past Forzathons from my old save. Cars, money, XP, everything.

In my previous save, I tried to auction off a Lamborghini Countach HE and a Huracan race car, but no one bought them and I didn't bother reclaiming them. But once I unlocked the auction house in my new game, they were still there waiting to be reclaimed. So I got to start the game with a credit boosting HE, which is a nice bonus.

Oddly, the game didn't give me the free cars from Forza Rewards. Seems like that was only a one time thing.
 
As did everyone else :lol:

Thanks for the downloads everyone, much appreciated.
I know it's the first that pops up, but I looked through a ton of other liveries, and even considered doing something myself, but in the end your TicTac is just too good to pass up.
 
I almost went with the tic tac livery, than I saw the one with Morty puking a rainbow and it just fits the car so well. :lol:
 
Didn't get a screenshot of it but yesterday, me and @ZDUPH were running a c class playground games championship for the Forzathon, with him in a Fiesta XR2 and me in a Reliant Regal, and we ended up getting both 1st and 2nd, with around 10,000XP more than 3rd place. The Reliant actually performed pretty well for a C Class car, I survived for quite a while in infected and even got a few flags delivered in flag rush. Didn't do too great in King though. I did manage, however, to beat everyone else to the Timber Mill from the Airport in the Regal.
 
Here it is though one two and three


I really like the sample from 1 and 2 though the pops/crackles from FM6 are superb. The FH3 sample actually has an accurate exhaust note but the overall sound is a bit canned and one-note.


I did the Sesto Elemento forzathon challenge. This happened:

You do get it after winning three PG events. They did a nice job on the sound, you'll like it.

Where do you find this Regal Reliant? What manufacturer? There's nothing under R!
 
It's almost like I was an end-level boss for these guys :D

It's a Barn Find.

You can also get it in the Auction House.

It's a potential leaderboard car on Blizzard Mountain :lol:

Question: any words yet on whether we're getting a new DLC tomorrow or not?

No DLC tomorrow but it seems like we're going to get something bigger than usual later this month:

https://www.forzamotorsport.net/en-us/news/wir_3_31_17

"You’ll recall that at the beginning of the month we dropped a new car pack on you – the Duracell Car Pack. As I’ve mentioned in the past, this was the final car pack included as part of the Forza Horizon 3 Car Pass. The obvious follow-up question is: Is that it or is more cool content coming up? The answer is a resounding YES. We’ve got more great stuff coming in Forza Horizon 3, including the next expansion for the game which I know all of you are curious about.

With that in mind, I wanted to let you all know that we will not have a new car pack for Forza Horizon 3 next week. There will be FH3 news and content in April and we’ll have more to say about that soon. As I tend to say at times like this… (you saw this coming, right?)… stay tuned."

No DLC tomorrow as mentioned above.

Brian Ekberg did mention during the last #ForzaFriday stream that there may be a special guest on tomorrow's live stream however. For all we know this person could be tied to whatever DLC is coming up.

It's....Mr. Regular! Vagabond Falcon to be released as free DLC next week, the BROWN Car Pack is later this month!
 
I'll be disappointed if the second expansion is the Porsche expansion.

Problem is, it HAS to be the Porsche Expansion. With every single racing game (ok, almost every single racing game, GT has missed the memo so far) making good use of Porsche's EA defection, jumping off the proverbial train now would make T10 and Playground look bad. Very bad.
Of course, the main question which will be asked over and over is "then what will make this Porsche Expansion different if it happens?" For that I don't really have an answer, because I don't think what Forza 6 did can be replicated in a Horizon-type scenary... I will gladly accept something that proves me wrong, mind you.

As for the special guest, if it's Magnus Walker or Kazuya Nakai (the latter is rather unlikely, but still), then we can safely assume it's going to be a Porsche-centric expansion. If not, then it's time to speculate...
 
Even if it is the Porsche Expansion, it's likely going to be the road car carryovers from FM6 making up the majority of the pack judging by what the leak seemed to show. I hope the 991 GT3RS and 917 are included as well just to soften the blow of the same-again content.

Bolded, but I would not be surprised if both of them appear in the Porsche expansion. They both are pretty much at the forefront of modern Porsche culture, and especially RWB gives the tuner fanboys yet another reason to cream themselves over H3.
 
It's probably the Porsche expansion, and it's probably largely the same content we've seen twice on this generation already. If it wasn't, we'd be getting some sort of teaser a la Blizzard Mountain.

I say this because it keeps my expectations low.
 
To be fair about them possibly the same cars from FM6 again, they probably did have to spend money on the license through EA once more before EA & Porsche finally scrapped their exclusive contract.

Well I did base my Nakai reference on the famed RWB name-drop that was seen in the game's credits, which would easily sway players into buying a possible Horizon 3 Porsche DLC pack. Considering how poorly NFS handled the name, Porsche (and to a bigger extent, RWB Porsche) fans would kill to have RWB parts and kits on what is essentially a better racing game.

Basically, this all boils down to one question; how much does T10 want to save by porting Porsches over to Horizon 3? If they plan on getting big savings, expect most of the same. If not, expect an interesting take on the concept...

Which is why if they do drop RWB into the game, it'll be via the Porsche expansion. Kill two birds with one stone. Now that just leaves the Hoonicorn and that one drifter's car.
