Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[-Fred-]

What do people here generally recommend?

The 599XX usually works really well.

Evo or can I use the Darius one?

I use the regular one with a 4wd tune + TTV12 swap and it works well enough, have not tried the Evo unfortunately.

"You could convert a 131 to FWD and pretend it's a Fulvia."

You love to see the garage limit and tune limit raised. Amazing work PG! Now I can actually have liveries for every single car in the game + more! For tuners and designers I bet it's a god send too.

The cars are of course very welcome - I was hoping for all of the FH4 Stellantis cars coming to the Autoshow but I'll take a half/half split. Just a bugger cause I wanted multiple 1992 155's and I don't feel like scouring the AH when they arrive.

Interesting to see the Fulvia and Stelvio left out - two pretty important models. I'm hoping we see them + more Fiats/abarths and especially Alfa's coming to Horizon's roster. I still want that GTV-6 in a Horizon game!

Not sure if this was posted but;

Next series playlist teased.

Some popular feature requests for Event Lab;

• Starting points anywhere
• Better AI while using event lab
• Bigger prop limit
• More snappable props
• Better Event Lab usability and UI
• Better Event Lab curation and finding of maps.

Let's see what PG has been cooking

 

[GTvsForza]

If we can't adjust the Convertible roofs for the 124's, I'll be very annoyed.

 

[UKMikey]

If Torben and his chums are smart they would've upped the prop limit alongside the garage, livery and tune setup capacity update in preparation for the new season. From what he said upping limits is a big deal logistically.

The new 2Gb save size is going to take even longer to sync on the way into the game. Judging by the way it's speeded up for me recently though I have a feeling that they don't do a full backup every time and it's mostly incremental. Or maybe they somehow increased the bandwidth at their end?

 

[willbsn13]

Also - with the Italian Exotics Car Pack - we've now seen two car packs coming to FH5 in quick succession.

This could be the start of a trend (a welcome one IMO) where we see every 2/3 series, a new car pack with New-To-Forza cars. Some with a theme, some more of a mixed bag.

Perhaps the 2003 Ford Mustang Cobra Terminator could be in one of those, as @TheAdmiester has eluded to it being in the files recently.

At the very least, more cars = good. (Especially with 2000 garage slots!!!)

Now I can start spamming the "Create your own car pack" thread again and it doesn't seem so far fetched that we might actually get a car pack similar to my wishes!

How many months into FH4 did they stop releasing new cars?

 

[Apple Slipper]

Pretty fantastic selection of cars for this month! 23 is a massive amount! Shame that the Lancia Fulvia Rallye isn't returning in this update, it's a favourite Italian classic. Nor even the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio.

I've heard that Giuseppe mentioned about the start screen will have something new with the Italian update.

 

[willbsn13]

How many months into FH4 did they stop releasing new cars?

Series 37. End of June 2021.

If FH5 was following the same timeline - we get another 13 monthly updates at the very least with new cars.

 

[WanganDream]

Good update overall. It's a shame they put some models in the playlist, but the increased garage limit put an end to the immediate crisis for me.
It's also good that the tune and livery caps have been increased. They finally did what FH4 didn't do.

I'm tired of the more Huracan/Aventador variants, but at least it's a car pack not exclusive. If I don't need it, don't buy it. Only the Roma, the most beautiful Ferrari they have made in the last decade, will join my collection from that car pack.

 

[RolexGTP]

I really wish the Trofeo Huracan was the Maserati MC20 instead and the Tecnica was the Sterrato but its all good. Im still getting the pack and playing with all these new cars along with the returnees of alfa, abarth, lancia and fiat. Cant wait

 

[Ali]

Bummed we're not getting the Stelvio.

 

[Emick81]

Strong line up of new cars coming this month. I guess I will be grinding a lot since many cars are at the 40 PTS mark.


I like the car pack as well. 296 GTB and the Roma. 2 bad the MC20 is not there but you can't have it all.

 

[skazz]

It's entirely possible that PG were simply not allowed to launch the MC20 in the same week that GT7 got it, and had to make a last minute change

 

[RolexGTP]

Im confident we will get at least the stelvio and MC20 eventually on a future series update. Possibly even the Sterrato since we have every huracan except that one.

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Forza Horizon 5: Massive Italian Cars Update Adds 16 New Vehicles for Free​

The latest Forza Monthly stream has revealed that the upcoming Forza Horizon 5: Italian Automotive update will be one of the biggest global content drops so far, with 16 new Italian cars coming to the game for all players...

 

[Mae Borowski]

Wait so im a tad behind. Has the MC20 been found on a leak or something?

MC20 was added in the latest GT7 update, so maybe you confused it with that?

 

[UKMikey]

While we're wishing for the moon I wonder whether Torben and pals would consider reviving the Backstage Pass system from FH4 so players without a PC or Xbox Live who can't get to forty points or miss a week in the series won't miss out on having their own Delta S4, 037 Stradale and Alfa 4C/8C in the game. Until then I figure they'll cost a fair bit in the Auction House if anyone's willing to part with them (I won't be).

Or they could just add playlist cars to the Autoshow after a while and end this pointless artificial rarity.

I meant more about the way people are talking about the MC20 not being added as if it was leaked. Ik it was added to GT7 as well

Actually, assuming you have both expansions you can get 40 points without Live can't you?

• 5+7 forzathon weekly+dailies
• 2x5 AI race series in Mexico
• 3x2 stunts in Mexico
• 2x3 Event lab races
• 2-5 Photo Op plus Treasure find
• 5+2 race series and stunts in Hotwheels
• 5+2 race series and stunts in Rally expansion

I'm counting well over 50 points without needing any multiplayer events, maybe more if you can do Monthly Rivals without Live.

The people I've heard moaning are too poor to buy DLC or a Live subscription. Sucks to be them. Those cars are too good to be unicorns though.

Oh damn, I mustve missed that lol

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Happy for the garage increase I’m at 996 cars.

 

[Beebo]

Very very happy about the livery increase, I've been struggling with the limit for quite a few months now.

 

[NotThePrez]

Same. For me, that was always a bigger problem than the car limit, although it's definitely a symptom of how the game(s) hemorrhage new cars for you.

 

[RazorSharkz]

If we get the MC20, I hope it comes with the OG MC12 as well. It's always been a personal favorite of mine.
