If you were wondering, like I was, how to import your designs and decals from the MS Store version of FH4 to the Steam version of FH5, turns out you...can't.

Is it Microsoft's fault? Valve's? Someone else's? WHO KNOWS!? Thankfully I didn't make anything super elaborate in FH4 that I had hundreds of hours work in but still...

So I had a spare Formula Drift 370Z and I decided to make it a gift drop to complete the daily challenge, and it felt great sending it to a new player so I hope they’ll like it, this is such a great and wholesome feature!

It’ll be very useful later once I get all the cars and millions of credits, as I’ll be able to unload duplicates and just buy and send random expensive cars to new players, I can’t wait to become a digital Oprah for cars :D
 
Finished the Playlist rewards last night, managed to use @Nacho Libre's tune for the Porsche for the Speed Trap. Took a few runs due to traffic though. Upgraded my TT for the Speed Zone and after many frustrating attempts I finally completed it.

I too got the Lambo Sesto Elemento as my first wheel spin FE car and love how grippy it is.

Also due to get my FH5 controller due tomorrow.

This seems a bit odd... make up your mind, game.

I'm guessing the 63/93 stat should read "Speed Trap Stars" instead of "Speed Zone Stars" :lol:

[EDIT] Also one of the accolades doesn't trigger in the El Camino story when you and Carmen photo the Tlaloc statue in Ek' Balam. I believe this is a known bug that Xbox Support have flagged.

(By the way, is it just me or does Carmen sound like she's overdone it on las margaritas on some of the later missions? 🍹)

So I have three favorite songs in the game already:

Levitating - Dua Lipa
new heartbreak - sad alex (sad alex really likes lowercase, it seems :p)
Where We Started - PRXZM

Unless I switch over to the classic station or happen across some Spanish/Mexican music, I turn the radio off if these aren't going. :lol:

Literally the same for me, I always listen to Horizon Pulse in all games, and these 3 songs are my favourites from FH5 and I love them all.

I just can’t a believe that a big current hit like Levitating is in the game, I can’t even imagine how much it cost PG to license it and add it :lol:

Same goes for Industry Baby as it’s still in the top 10 of most charts, I’m really happy to see recent hits from big artists make it into the game :D
 
I think I’m going to have to face facts and admit I am not going to be able check Horizon Arcade off my Festival Playlist. It’s the only thing left, and no one ever seems to show up.

This game looks too good :eek: I can't believe Turn 10 and Playground Games share the same engine. Some areas are so detailed, even too much for a racing game :p
Seriously, my expectations for GT7 in terms of graphics are far too high now because of FH5. It's not a 10/10 game: cheating AI or some car models a bit too old now. That said, it's the best game in the industry.
 
They cleverly made some of the speed traps Sesto/Jesko proof like Vado Del Río which has a big water trap to slow you down. Guess I'm waiting for the dry season to tackle that one.

[EDIT] Pyramid Of The Sun is also kicking my arse. Time to go online for tips.

Is anyone else having a problem where the car model freezes in its tracks and takes away your skill points? I've had it happen like 3 times, and I've noticed that the game is doing light hitches as if there's frame skips.

By the way to the Japanese racer who just gifted me a Willys Jeep

Gifting cars to random folks via the barn find mechanism is so much fun. I don't just dump duplicates there. Last car I gave I away I bought at the car show, put a livery on it, some mild tuning to make it top of its class and then gave it away (M3 GTR in NFSMW livery). Pretty sure that put a smile on someones face. :D

Uh, I am not a fan of todays Pop music or whatever. I wish they would have a Heavy Metal station. I listen to Sirius XM and would love something like Liquid Metal (todays metal). But I realize I am in the minority. So I just tune to "OFF". What better way to listen to my car!

Try again tomorrow! It happened to me as well, sometimes there is no one, sometimes there are several people.
 
Also, re: the arcades - haven't been able to confirm but I imagine they're at the top of the hour every hour like in FH4?

I'd say give it time. The Forzathon shop isn't active yet, so until that happens, there's not much incentive to do the Horizon Arcade for most players. Hopefully it turns around, as at this point I just want the damn ST205.

On a completely separate note, I have to admit that the game's overall soundtrack is much more enjoyable this time around. In Horizon 3 and 4, I pretty much only listened to Hospital, both games' respective rock stations, and would tune into Block Party every now and again. Pulse and Bass Arena were only really enjoyable in FH1, and I pretty much never listened to them outside of saving a song or two on Spotify. So far, each station has a lot more hits than misses, and I've been able to go longer on each station without feeling the need to switch as much. Hospital in particular is much, much stronger than it was in FH5, though I'm surprised that there wasn't as much fanfare for Hospital making another exclusive soundtrack for this entry. I still check eBay every now and again for the FH4 Hospital vynil, and I would do the same for FH5.

Also, Radio Eterna is a very fun station to drive to. There's actually a good mix of slower and faster-paced music, so it's more enjoyable to race with the station on. I do kinda miss the snobby DJ from the last game, though the new female DJ is pretty great.

OK, all traps done now. Suffice it to say a maxed out Hoonigan RS200 just became my new best friend. Now for the danger signs.

[EDIT] Also I just realised why the weekly #Forzathon challenge is called Wouldn't It Be Loverly. Aarrgh, the pain... :ouch:

It happened constantly the first couple games, but it's much better now. It can still happen, though. I was trying to three-star a danger sign and after a very long run up I was stopped dead just a few feet from the ramp. Frustrating.

I've been trying for five days now. It's basically all I am doing now that I've found all the bonus boards, discovered all the roads, and maxed out all the outposts.
