It's hideous.
to check out the Horizon Arcade. The drift one was empty but the speed one I tried had a couple of other drivers in. We managed to complete round 2 of 3 but couldn'tcrack the speed zone enough ti es to complete it.
Will certainly do that! I was already using simulation steering on a controller in FH4 but only for lower powered cars, like D class up to A class or something. I’ll check it out in FH5, haven’t tried it yet here.If anyone hasn't tried it, I highly suggest giving Simulation steering a go. Even as a controller user, it feels a lot more responsive and much less understeer-prone than standard steering. It also seems to make controlling higher-horsepower cars much easier too. The dreaded "Sim Twitch" is still there, but it's easier to reign in than previous Forza games. The only scenario where Simulation might be a bit too much is in very high speed (120+ MPH) drifting, as the car will be much more violent when transitioning.
If nothing else, I kinda want other controller users to try it just so I can make sure I'm not going crazy.
I’m a controller user and I use simulation steering, manual with clutch, and leave anti lock, TCS, and stability control off. I’m definitely not the fastest, but I think the cars are way more fun to drive that way.If anyone hasn't tried it, I highly suggest giving Simulation steering a go.

I'm a controller user. I will give it a try. I seem to be having issue with braking/steering into hard or sharp corners. Which in all other iterations of this game I was good at.If anyone hasn't tried it, I highly suggest giving Simulation steering a go.

Great, let me know how it is for you. I do want to emphasize that it seems to make higher-powered cars easier. I'm not a pro driver by any means, but I'd like to know what others think of it.
Have you adjusted your deadzone settings at all? The default settings do have some deadzone built-in, so if you haven't make sure to adjust that in the advanced controls section.
Ok let me know what you think. Do note the soft suspension as it might take some getting used especially if you’re used to the stiffer Hoonigan RS200. 😅 But I like it that way, it creates a lot more kangaroo skills. And it has a nice place next to the Hoonigan, grabbing whatever car fits the situation.
I've had it turned on from the start so I don't know what standard steering feels like. The simulation steering can give you a huge amount of understeer but if you go into a corner at the right speed, it will grip just fine.If anyone hasn't tried it, I highly suggest giving Simulation steering a go.

I've personally found that the car will have a much easier time gripping up and maintaining it through the corners compared to standard steering. It feels like the turning response itself is a little slower, but the way the car behaves itself in a turn is a bit more natural. I think the adjusted physics and tire model in FH5 really shine through with sim steering, but I have no really tangible way to quantify it.
Would honestly rather listen to everything from Hospital Records instead of
Just a little bit of trivia: Scott Tyler is the only DJ to appear in all five games so far. He's voiced by Ronan Summers, an Irish-American actor with dual citizenship between the two countries.I listen to Bass Arena more, I just love Scott's funny and laid-back personality
You've always been a hall of famer to me.
Oh stop! 😊
700-800 (B-A) performance rating is where it's at for me, only use S1/S2 for speed traps/danger signs/etc.
This answer has been correct for every Forza game I've ever played.700-800 (B-A) performance rating is where it's at for me, only use S1/S2 for speed traps/danger signs/etc.
Yeah same here! My first FH game way back in 2015 was FH2 and one of the many things I absolutely loved about that game was how incredibly well Scott’s voice acting was done for a super enthusiastic over the top radio DJ. He has been by far my favourite DJ with Amy taking second place (who’s voice actress also does a great job by the way). Both Bass Arena and Pulse are also my favourite radio stations, I don’t listen to anything else much. But there is the occasional great track on Block Party, XS or Hospital as well (sorry Hospital fans, just not my thing! 🙈)I listen to Bass Arena more, I just love Scott's funny and laid-back personality
In other news, I am now a GTP Hall of Famer!
Now that PI min-maxing isn't as much of a necessity and suspension tuning actually does something noticeable, low-mid S1 cars can be very entertaining with the right setups. S2 is still something of a crapshoot, but they're not all mindless highway drag fodder like in previous games either.
What's interesting to me is that there are more music artists from around the world who are featured in Forza Horizon 5, although most of the artists are still from the USA.
