Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[UKMikey]

Man, the intro song is beautiful. I always wait a few minutes in the intro menu before joining in.

That's good to hear but should you ever get tired of Encanto you can pick any of the other intro sequences from the menu from previous Horizons to use as a startup tune. There's even an 80s synthwave cover of Encanto which was used for Retrowave month.

Mine is set to random rotation.

To be fair though its headliner was an Aventador, which is currently available in the Backstage Pass Shop. I wager most folks, especially the PS5 people, don't really know what's in there or at least don't have a whole lot of Passes to play with, so going for it in the Playlist is more appealing to them.

To be doubly fair, as well, it's also got Donut Media cosmetics and without that particular license, it's the only way those cosmetics are guaranteed to be back in the Playlist now that Donut's not working with T10 and PG. Kinda makes you wish they got a Donut Media Part 3, don't it.

I liked your post bud as I agree with everything apart from the donut media comments. The donut media stuff was some of the worst content the Devs gave us during FH5 life cycle

Mines on rotation too, only so I can smile more when my favourite the Italian car festival pops up randomly.

I'd rather have a Tea 'n' Biscuits week than a Coffee & Donuts one but at least if we get this one out of the way it might not come up in the rotation for a while.

You Sir need to apply for a job at PGG as an event organiser for FH6. You've got my vote.

Coffee and me smelling it: Mmmm... Smells so GOOD.
After I drink caffeine Soda (I don't drink Coffee despite me loving the scent): Oh gosh, my heart is pounding so bad and I got heartburn. Especially with Pepsi and Coca-Cola. Barqs' I can tolerate. And I LOVE it!

This man needs decaf urgently!

Not sure where to ask this but, could someone help me getting ingame values for the Cadillac Typhoon Metallic green colour?

I've tried searching rgb values for its paint code which is WA-235K, with no success.

It might be that the paint so new that no values are available yet, or the more possible reason is that my google-fu is not that great.

And I'm not sure if rgb values can even be added in the game. Still learning things in there.

There is a colour sheet where a lot of colours are set, based on their RGB code, for both Forza Horizon and Motorsport:

You have to choose the paint and then set the color 1 and color 2 that make up the paint in Forza. Its a spreadsheet that started in FH4, but ist still being updated today and works for cars in both franchises: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...tant-work-in-progress-read-first-post.384407/

I couldn´t find your color for the Cadillac though, so it might be still too new

Thanks alot mate. Let's see what can I find from that.

Hopefully the colour values appear at some point, it looks so good.

I missed the VW Thing last time around so will hopefully grab it next month.

With the next game (assumed to be) coming in 2026, hopefully it has given T10 time to source and work on replacement models for those few duff old ones. Otherwise, there will be the usual over the top complaints about including misshapes, mistakes, misfits. Talking of which...

Mmm broken biscuits...

 

[GTboyz]

Exp boards at 248/250. This is driving (hehe) me nuts.

Looking at the map from reddit, it really looks like I got them all. I know I already got all the fast travel boards.

Also 575/578 road discovered but the trophy popped up already what the hell?

Hi there, for that colour I suggest the following values:

Two-tone paint
Lowlight H: 0.40 L S: 0.96 H B: 0.40 H
Highlight H: 0.40 L S: 0.96 H B: 0.69 H

I'm not coloring expert, but I think it comes close.

I based it mostly on this video:

(1:45 minute mark)

Then again, color may be somewhat off due to recording conditions, quality of the camera, and my own monitor (VA which is below IPS panels in color range). Anyways, I hope it helps.

Absolutely not at all in any way shape or form jealous of you.......😂😂😂

Hope you had a great gig. I saw them once back in the mid 90's.

Same here. The only thing I remember from it is Jarvis flying over the crowd on a zip wire at the start.

I saw them at a festival but as the mid to late 90's are a bit of blur I can't remember which festival it was lol

Wrong band...

I'm pretty sure I saw Blur and Pulp at the Virgin V festivals of the nineties. Not a huge fan of Pulp but Blur (alongside The Prodigy) were promoting their new albums at V97 so that was a highlight for me.

I did V and Reading and Leeds a few times in the 90's so it's one of them I saw them.

I'd love a 90's Britpop radio channel in FH but I fear we've missed our window for that with FH4.

Finally got all boards and discover all roads (oh boy that last road is a pain to find).

 

[GlamFM]

Are the servers a bit wonky right now?

I'm not getting seasonal progress event hough I should and the hall of fame challenge is greyed out even though I am in the hall of fame.

That one board halfway up an electrical pylon was the most difficult for me. Hope you had fun.

If I remember right that was the one that was hard for me too.

I ended up doing it by hooning down the motorway westwards and launching off the natural earth ramp where the bridge just before it joins the road.

That's exactly what I did... about sixty-eight times until I finally hit the board. 😣

I would love to act all big and clever and say I did it first time but I'd be a big fat liar 😂😂😂. I spammed the hell out of the rewind button also bud.

Yeah that's mine too. I HATE that one 😂.

I left that one and one other deliberately incomplete. It costs me 400 credits each time to fast travel, but it saved me endless torture trying to hit a needle in a cosmic sized haystack. When something in a game isn't fun, its not worth doing, is my motto.

Fair one bud. The stubborn idiot in me comes out on stuff like this though 😂😂😂

There's a glitch someone exploited for the one on top of a roof. I think someone reset their car position underneath it and the car respawned next to the board. It's somewhere in this thread but I looked it up on Reddit.



If they've patched this glitch there's always the Hoonigan Bel Air backflip trick.



I've already done this one the hard way by jumping over a nearby hill.

 

[GTboyz]

I forgot I screen recorded that damn XP board jump lol

You're very kind but I think such an event may lack international appeal since in the US it seems a lot of people avoid the beverage in favour of coffee and would probably rather dump it in a harbour somewhere. It sounds more like Forza Horizon 4 would've been a better opportunity to introduce a char-related theme.

As a foreign-born immigrant I'm not really one for banging the drum. Maybe it's fun to fly the flag once in a while, though. I'd just like to point out that this dunker used a chocolate Hob-Nob rather than digestive biscuits, possibly because they're slightly more durable:
