It does, by making it worse.

I've found it helps on some of the older cars, but in this case it was purely cosmetic.
 
Anyways, I just checked the sound of the SRT Viper in FH2 and to my ear it's definitively different and it doesn't sound like raspberries on the background like in FH4. Seems like their new recording got corrupted or something, but can anybody corroborate? (I use headphones and Dolby Atmos, btw.)

Makes sense, because old cars tend to have much flimsier bodies.

Rumor has it they recorded an older Viper. Don't remember where I read it. I'm not sure if it's an RT/10 or a GTS, but it does sound somewhat close to an RT/10, which in turn sounds nothing like a 2013 SRT.

As people should be aware, the new sound engine was developed by Playground, and Vipers aren't exactly plentiful in the UK. It was a poor decision to copy/paste this sound into every Viper in the game, especially the newer ones.

The older Vipers, especially those with side exit exhausts tended to sound a bit more like 5 cylinder cars (a bit like an Audi Quattro, without the turbo noises) so I'd have to disagree with that rumor.

Really? I always felt rollcage makes car more stable around corner. Have I been gimping myself by trying to add rollcage in every car? :boggled:

Most cars it just lowers every stat as it's a big weight increase, on older cars it can add some handling though.
 
If I do a race weight reduction in the car, then I go for a chassis reinforcement to see if there are handling/braking gains, but I stop at Sport.
 
It's like a differential upgrade for Xbox 360 era. Although performance is improved, PI basically decreases with increasing vehicle weight.
In Horizon, a heavier and more powerful car is more advantageous than a lighter car, so there will be no problem with a roll cage race upgrade.
 
So they sent the 2 PO gift cars for watching the stream but only a few received them. Maybe there is a hope for those that didn't watch the stream. Maybe they will try to repair the damage by sending those cars to everyone like it happened with the Mosler. I doubt they will check every single ticket they receive.

That was in the video where the showed the behind the scenes of them recording audio. The definitely showed a Gen 1 RT/10 when they were discussing the new Viper. Now, they could have used that sound for the '99 ACR, but they made it seem like it was the sound used for all Vipers, which is wrong.

Or people just need to be patient and wait.

We'll see. I have zero problems even if they don't come. However it is a little bit strange. Usually there were no problems as far as I remember and I received many gifts watching Forza streams on Mixer.

They stated this morning in the forums that the gifts were still going out, so they aren't finished yet.
 
I watched the replay of the stream and there were no "this offer no longer valid" disclaimers when they talked about everyone who watches this will get the cars, so I'm hoping.

I just saw the post by Retro. I will wait patiently until tomorrow then. ^^

Well, the latest patch ruined the playlist percentages. I have everything complete 100% with 1 daily challenge left and it shows as 87% complete. Does the staff at PG not test their patches before sending them out? 🤬

Update: They are investigating.

Nitro has updated the known issues list: https://support.forzamotorsport.net/hc/en-us/articles/360001991068

I checked last night and I had 87% for the past week, even though I had completed it 100%, so I'm one of the affected players for whatever this glitch is.

The GTS has the same engine as the RT/10 but the sound might have some differences due to exhaust positioning.
 
Yay! My PO's have arrived! :D

Completing a seasonal championship now gives out 100k and 50k secondary prizes instead of the 10k and 5k it used to...

So in other words, they're almost worth something now.

I have it to. One thing I noticed is the reduction of percentage when completing the Trial and Games. I got 1% for completing each one. Everything else give the right percentage. In my case.

You really need to get ranked. It's very simple too. You don't need to complete anything either. If you don't get the 600LT you will regret it for the rest of your life. JK

I got mine too. Still missing the Focus PO, but I really don't need it. Even those two are just for hardcore collectors. Not as useful as the McLaren or the Porscha.

Just complete the needed number of Unranked Adventures (Team is my preference) and you'll qualify for Ranked. Then, just complete 1 Ranked Adventure to count towards your Playlist.

Also, when the next Series rolls in, you just need to do one Adventure now. You keep your Rank.

Which probably proves that Lambo's Nürburgring lap times are legit.

PG is starting to put exclusive cars as rewards for becoming Ranked. This month, if you reach level 10 (Star Card requirement), you get three exclusive cars IIRC, plus a bunch of wheelspins. Level 20 reward is the 2009 Vauxhall Corsa, which hasn't been featured frequently in any other outlet. Rimac is prize for becoming Grandmaster, but I ain't gunning for that, no way.
