Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[bluemoon_19]

Did they change the amount of points you get for the Rivals thing? I thought I got 4 points for it last week, but this week I've got just 1 point.

It was mentioned in the patch notes that getting 4 points was a bug, it should have given 4 points per season but was giving 4 for every week.

Anyone wishing there were more ferraris? …

I could do with less, honestly.

 

[Edax 76]

Ah Ambassador with this Ferrari Rosta you are spoiling us......

 

[Vince_GT]

I'd love more older ones like the 308 so many beautiful old Ferraris we don't have.

512 BB, 308 Quattrovalvole, a 275 GTB/4, the 250 SWB... there is a lot of Old Ferraris i love to see in Forza series and in Videogames in General. (GT7 have some of those, i'm quite happy for this)
Heck, no game have the 456 GT, one of my most loved cars when i was i little child

Hi all,

Is anyone having issues registering the 1st chapter of Forzathon?

Got my F150 tuned and not registered, reverted back to stock, restarted the game and still nothing...

Thanks in advance!

 

[Justuxful]

Will I get crucified if I said that I want the Roma in the game? It’s just so pretty!

Also I absolutely love the SF90 and everything about it, can’t wait for the F8

Overall I’m happy with how many Ferraris we got so far, can never have too many of them, love seeing them all in my garage.

And of course Audi getting some love is the best thing, just the new RS3, RS6, RS7, RSQ8, R8 V10 Performance and RS Etron GT left

There's definitely a very strange lack of 1970s and 1980s models throughout the game's history (the only 1970s Ferraris we've ever had in Forza, be it Motorsport or Horizon, have been racecars and only the 288 GTO, 512BBLM and F40 variants represent the 80s) yet we now have 4 variants of the 488. I bet we'll get the Roma or 296GTB before we get something like a 330GT or a 512BB.

But it's not just a Ferrari thing, most big manufacturers have complete eras missing.

With a bit more research into the car colours, I can now edit the actual colours of materials themselves, rather than just swapping them between cars.
First candidate was naturally the 996 GT3's Racing Yellow, which has been horribly off since FH4 (it's actually fairly accurate to the paler Pastel Yellow on 996s, but is listed as Racing Yellow internally so I'm considering it a mistake), before and after:

EDIT:
Okay, scratch that, I'm a completionist and I like having more options, so I decided to make Pastel Yellow more accurate too, added it back as an option below Racing Yellow, and gave them both correct thumbnails:

Thx. Second try downhill and i got it. Mostly used the street with a slighty cut.

This actually leads me to one of my no-big-deal but still longstanding gripes with Forza: why can't we save custom colors? If I go through the (admittedly minor) trouble of looking up where to put the sliders so I can paint a car BMW Solar Orange Metallic or Nissan Twilight Blue Pearl, I'd rather have a persistent, saved in-game tab of ones I've actually formulated and applied to a car instead of just having the "recently used" tab that resets every time I close the game.

I wonder what licensing is like for that car - it's based on a Ferrari chassis and mechanical bits (from this car, with that body used to repair another car), but it was built by Bizzarrini, tuned by Nembo, and bodied by Carrozzeria Sports Cars. Under the Drogo-styled bodywork, it was revised to the point of moving the engine location and using different heads on the Ferrari block. It makes the upgrades of a Singer 911 look like a bodykit and paint.

I would love to get the 500 Monza back. It would make such a fun B class road racer.

Well that's disappointing, had hoped it was just a bug.

Exactly.
Forza, and many other racing games, tend to downplay 1980s cars.
The lack of 1980s models of American cars is particularly disappointing.
Thunderbird, Daytona, EXP, Fiero. They may not be as popular as muscle cars, but they are important sports cars in the history of American cars, born in the new era of global environmental concerns.

If more of these models were added to Forza, and other racing games, there would be more ways to enjoy American cars other than muscle cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks.

 

[notsofast]

I just fired up the game and was given the welcome pack cars-even though I’ve never brought them or any content including them..so weird..

 

[Populuxe]

I thought the SF90 was a bit crap, but the Safari Z is shockingly terrible. Just... why?

I like the concept of it. A tribute to the 1971 East Africa winning Fairlady Z based on the modern 370Z. But like the other two Forsberg cars, it promises much and delivers little.

 

[ALLSETFORMOVE]

SF90 Should have this animation except it didn't.

 

[strela]

Maybe it's just the tune but the SafariZ is now my favorite A class rally car. It's gorgeous and it handle the dirt like it should.

It's also pretty damn fast.

I had hoped they had the assetto fiorano pack with the extended carbon wing too.

 

[Cremisi5215]

Actually, yes. I’d like the p80/c even if it is just a one off.

This is the first custom, one-off track car from Ferrari, and it's reportedly going to an owner in Hong Kong.

Looks a bit like a ford gt lol

 

[TokoTurismo]

Welp. It looks like Forza Hub is now officially been put down for good. Rip to that.

 

[Dan Hill]

Really struggling with the Trailblazer, just can't seem to get a good run through either corner and miss out by a second or 2.

Got 46 seconds in a Corrado by far my best result. The old Scirocco is the next best car for this event imo. The left turn is crucial. Brake early and avoid any contacts with walls or lamps. Just rewind if you are not happy with the exit.

Same here! 😐

I didn't expect to spend more time for these more difficult PR stunts, really annoying. Also, for some reason, the Car Pass Nissan is not unlocked for me. I was able to redeem every single car so far and last I checked the calendar, it's past the 5th.

Anyway, for the trailblazer, I finally got it after using a tune on the VW Beetle from this video:


1963 Volkswagen Beetle Tune - SC - 181 963 342

Just remember to use rewind if you hit some objects or didn't take the turn as well. The last left turn, like in the video, you should be at ~50-51 seconds.

 

[Pepperoncini]

I’ve been using a tuner on Reddit that has given great tunes but for some reason, this week has been rough.

 

[DG_Silva]

I've enjoyed this week's challenges - yes, they've been tough, but at least it's taken more than one attempt to complete.

Speed trap I just got it with 130.65mph, and even closer with the trailblazer at 44.018s.

It's been nice to have some challenges that have caused genuine frustration instead of tick boxes.

I have to admit. Despite me getting slightly frustrated with this season's speed trap, I found it to be fun because of how challenging it. I then thought to myself "we should have more challenges like this" as it requires skills, which I really like. It would definitely put in the place of those who want to crap on the game saying "it's too easy because aRcAdE".

Forza Monthly is early this time around.
