Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[Edax 76]

What's the requirement on it?

Reach 290mph in a car costing less than 200,000 credits. I can't for the life of me figure out how I did it first time round.

I know I could just look on YouTube for the answer, but if I can download and use and like someone's tune on here I'd much prefer it.

 

[pez2k]

Ah, fair enough, I won't have a tune uploaded for it. If it's on the speed trap with the massive downhill before it, I think I'd have used something like one of the Viper ACRs or the Taycan WP with a ton of power and long enough gearing.

 

[Edax 76]

Yeah I keep breaking the cost cap lol. Cheers bud.👍

 

[Enzo_P1_GTR]

Hey team I need some help. I'm totally stuck on this week's Speed Trap in HW worlds. I can't get a cheap enough car to go fast enough.

Does anyone have any good tunes that work please.

Many thank you's in advance.

Is that the 290 mph one I used the E ray with a tune I'll post it a little later I was able to hit 292 MPH.


I also have a question about drifting I finally learn how to drift with my Enzo and I completed almost all minus the off road ones are drift tires good for off road drifting or do I need off road tires?

I did it with the Porsche Taycan WP with an S1 900 off-road tune. Not sure if it was one of my own though 🤔
I tried it first with a couple of other cars, Dodge Demon, Viper, Audi TT with 1000hp but they cannot reach the speed needed. As soon as you are on the flat part of the track, right before the speed trap, the cars slow down. The Taycan just kept on going to reach more than the required speed

Drift tires don´t work very well in the dirt. I use off road tires to get more control of the car in the drift.

A lot of cars have problems with bottoming out on some of the steeper elevation changes, especially on PC (I think it might be framerate-related). For that one and the loop-the-loop speed trap I tend to whack the ride height up as high as it goes and stiffen the suspension a lot to keep the bottom of the car off the ground. Fortunately, if you get a good run but bottom out, it's possible to just rewind a bit then jack the suspension up on the fly.

Here is the share code if you still having problem 645 781 259 the corvette E ray is easy to control.

Sometime this week FH5 reached 52.08 million players as counted in the Hall of Fame.

Cheers bud, I'll pop it tomorrow night. Thank you very much.👍

That means PS5 sales have likely been significant. After all, Gamepass is only getting more and more expensive, and there's no reason why 10+ million new gamepass users for a 3+ year old game would suddenly appear this year.

Very impressive performance, let's hope Microsoft doesn't screw things up and just lets FH6 be the best game it can be.

 

[Enzo_P1_GTR]

I thought I was going crazy but every time I start FH5 I have less money? Anyone know what's going on?

I had 37,107,xxx now after starting the game I have 37,104,xxx Why did I lost credits if I didn't even buy anything?

 

[Enzo_P1_GTR]

A perfect landing

 

[Nacho Libre]

Wow, some generous soul gifted me this week's Durango '21 seasonal prize and saved me the bother. I suspect it was a new PS5 player... those guys/gals are allergic to SUV's for some reason.

 

[Speedster911]

The season of gifting?

Overall the last month I have gift at 20 Enzo Ferrari and one '94 McLaren F1.

Buying a fully stock Enzo from the auction house for less than 2M and gifting it out to new players I believe everyone should have a Enzo Ferrari.

@Speedster911 Yeah I seen that but I dont remember the color being green or purple.

Texture morphing to be specific, yeah? Like the distant textures flash and morph a bright colour while loading as you approach them.

Fast travel costs?

 

[pclark06]

Fast travel costs?

thanks for reminding me that there's a new American Truck Sim state that I gotta play

 

[Enzo_P1_GTR]

Fast travel costs?

No I own all the houses so FT is free after looking for a few more days it didn't happen again so its fine now.

 

[Edax 76]

Sorry bud but it's not the houses that give you free travel. You need to find and break all the free travel boards scattered around the map. The more you break the cheaper it becomes to travel. Once you've broke all the boards it is then free to fast travel.

 

[SpacedInvader]

Been playing this a few months now on PS5. Great fun, but completely mental in some aspects.
Two things I want to ask seasoned veterans:
1) What's the deal with the 'skills' challenges? Just to smash things up? Some of these I cannot get close to the targets (there's one in the 'wrestler' storyline, and another in the 'movie actor' story too). Stumped.
2) Is there a secret to knowing where the final Eliminator target will be? I often get to last 4 or 5 players, but others always seem able to set off early to target. Are they lucky guesses, or are there regular places where the finish lines are? Only got a couple of Trophies left to do, and a win in Eliminator is one, so wondering is there a secret?
Anyone clued-up on this?

They're all about accumulating skill points, so not just smashing things but also drifting, speed, jumps, and all of the other actions that count for points. Often the easy method is just to drift side to side down a route while hitting fences and so on, to get the drift points, destruction, the bonus for hitting things while drifting, and so on. Keeping the combo going is key, and once you're at the full 5x the points just roll in, making them sometimes quite easy challenges. No need to let the combo expire either, any combo still in progress will also count towards the total at the end.

I know that if you buy the Buenas Vistas house you can fast travel for a price but by the time I bought that House I had already finished smashing all 50 free travel boards so its was free after I bought that house.

Mostly it’s just a lucky guess, but it does help to take off a couple seconds early in the direction you think is most likely. And check the map real quick to see where the finish is. That’s what allowed me to win a round in the Beetle.

I will admit I am suffering the sin of pride right now. My closest competition for this win wasn’t any of the level 10 cars in the race. It was another Vocho right behind me. I guessed the right direction leaving the final arena, checked the map and saw the finish was on the other side of Guanajuato. All the level 10 cars were driving straight for it so I knew they were going to run into walls. I aimed for the Main Street through town. The other Vocho came out of a side street on the right and we ended up next to each other. Naturally they tried to ram me into a wall. I backed off a...

I cant get this anything goes Danger sign jump I'm using a rally up Valkyrie with almost 1500HP and the best I can get is 1,498.XX feet.

Its making me mad to the point I'm about to uninstall this game.

I got a Hennessey Venom F5 with offroad tires that I use for these kind of pr stunts. The Koenigsegg Jesko is also a beast for these. There are plenty of offroad tunes for it that can beat the danger sign limit.
I usually drive this way to this danger sign as it feels more flat so you can build up more speed.

My record is about 540m (about 1770ft) with the Jesko I think

The Jesko is a beast for this jump. Unfortunately this is the jump the game glitched out on me just after release. My recorded distance is unobtainable but there's nothing I can do to wipe it. I don't like it, it makes it look like I cheat. All my other PR Stunts are 100% legit.

Thanks jeb75 but I don't have those 2 cars and I kinda didn't wanna spent money on them just for 1 event.

But then I remember I have a car that fully tune is a rocket ship the C8R with 1300hp+ and using your route I was finally able to beat that distance got 1,518 feet.

Both cars are worth buying Enzo mate if you can afford them.

Both have plenty of good on and off road tunes for Danger Signs and Speed Traps/Zones. They will prove their worth over time.

Glad you got the distance though 👍

I am still stuck at 851/899 cars as there hasn't been a new unowned car at the Backstage Pass shop for several weeks.

Admittedly 2 of the missing cars are Extreme E ones and that season will NEVER win a vote so they will be the last ones to appear

We need the gift a specific player a car option back again for Xmas. They could add it as a Hot fix.

Once FH6 turns up, I assume the backstage pass will be updated to include all cars like they did in FH4. It's just a longer wait now.
