Here's the Carrera GT's sound for anyone who wants to hear it: https://my.mixtape.moe/vlgsio.mp4

Sounds pretty nice. Got the Macan's sound?

The files for the Macan make reference to the 1994 Nissan 300ZX, I'm guessing that's the sound they used for it.

Dang that's nice. 👍

Has anyone experienced ultra-long loading times on PC after the Creators update to Windows 10? It just installed this morning and when I wanted to play Horizon 3 it took about 10 minutes to load my save, compared to maybe one or two minutes previously.

What's the best car to do the Silver Sands speed zone? I need super good cornering on that turn.

Hate to say it, but wallriding is basically required for a 3 star rank. I used my S2 995 Murcielago. Also if you're trying to 3-star all of the PR stunts it's best to create/join an online session to avoid drivatars. Heck, you can even sequence-break (completing objectives long before they are properly issued to you, going against the game's intended formula) and 3-star every PR stunt with only 2 Festival sites. And it counts towards your single-player campaign.

 

[GTvsForza]

Can it work if I do co-op?

Drivatars still spawn in co-op, so it may be difficult.

 

[GTvsForza]

I mean if both of us hit the zone, will it count?

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

Should do, yeah.

 

[GTvsForza]

After 40+ minutes, I finally got it in my GT HE! I was about to pull my hair out if I had to do it again! Those are all the asphalt speed zones and traps done, now to do the drift zones, dirt speed zones and danger signs.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Really like the Hot Wheels expansion, good fun 👍

 

[GTvsForza]

The danger sign in the lumber yard is tricky. Looks like @Xenn used the Ultima. Might try it with mine.

Anyone else having trouble getting into Blizzard Mountain after leaving Hot Wheels?

Anyone else having trouble getting into Blizzard Mountain after leaving Hot Wheels?

I believe it's an issue for Windows 10 users.

Cant comment on Xbox as I haven't read anything or tried it myself.

 

[GTvsForza]

I can get to the main map just fine, but it stays on the loading screen when I try to go to Blizzard.

It's a known issue that's taking them entirely too long to fix. It's past the point of me not caring what the excuse is — fix the content that was paid for and perhaps even update users on what's going on in the meantime. I'm starting to understand (and experience) the silence criticisms.

I managed to obtain all 160 stars in Blizzard Mountain and topped it off by doing the Kingmaker.

Overall, I found the Blizzard Mountain campaign to be a bit more difficult than the Hot Wheels campaign. In fact, doing everything in the Hot Wheels career was easy, with the exception of some races thanks to the cheap AI.

Bilzzard Mountain was a more satisfying experience in the end though, especially since it actually rewards you with a HE car for doing everything. I think the John Cooper Mini HE was supposed to be the reward for getting all medals in Hot Wheels but a glitch is preventing it from being given to us. It's the only HE car that's unobtainable too. It would be very strange if they're saving it for a Forzathon or something.

Anyway, all I have left to do now are the championships, then I'll have 100% completion in both expansions.

I agree, they didn't even get the stripes right.

I've never understood that. The only Viper that has even similar stripes is the GTS-R concept. But they supply us the tools to fix that, so that's fine.

Go into photo mode--the hood vents are blocked off solid.

Edit:
Here are the FM1-era models that are still kicking around in FH3. To be on this list, the basic shape of the body has to be wrong, or at least significant portions of it.
Had VW made the game, there would be more offenders shown here. In addition, there are more cars like this in FM6 than FH3.

'69 Camaro*
'70 Chevelle
Corvette C2
Corvette C5
'70 Challenger
'99 Viper
Ferrari F355
Mustang II
S2000*
300SL Gullwing
SLR McLaren
R32 Skyline
S15 Silvia
Carrera GT*
Impreza 22B*
'04 Impreza
AE86 Sprinter Trueno

*recently cleaned up, but still bad

Interesting. I never noticed issues with quite a few of those.

The Beat Racing rear bumper for the one Miata has to be one of the worst things I've seen in the game, so blocky, picture doesn't do justice to how bad it is.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Which reminds me, why did Turn 10 keep using the 1994 Miata for FM6 & FH3 rather than the 1990 model?

I miss the 1990 model from FH2 so much. What a waste to exclude it from future titles. 👎

 

[deadbob777]

They weren't willing to give us special stripes with 20 different miatas is my guess.

 

[GroupB]

Which reminds me, why did Turn 10 keep using the 1994 Miata for FM6 & FH3 rather than the 1990 model?

Because they did a cut and paste job--changing some exterior details on the '94 to get themselves a '90 and leaving the interior unchanged. Unfortunately for them, the 2 cars had significantly different dashboards due to the addition of a passenger airbag between 1990 and 1994.
Having taken a bunch of message board flak from Miata enthusiasts, they probably decided to leave the '90 on the shelf rather than fix it.

Why get twenty special Miatas when you can get your own?

Me too. Keep them all.

 

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

Only just realised; the Mk. 3 Supra's tail lights are fixed!

The 1990 Miata is referenced in the dev build's database. Could just be a leftover but you never know.
