Forza Horizon 6 - General Discussion

[Populuxe]

What's the cycle stunt parties are on? Been waiting forever this morning before work, but it didn't happen.

They're always at the top of the hour, and they’re open for ten minutes. If you finish before the ten minutes are up, you can do another. I’ve even triple-dipped a couple of times.

When I was playing the lighting in the game was weird and when I went through some tunnels it went like a deep pitch black and the cars I was driving in the tunnels turned a strange shiny black color.

Noticed this while doing the Trial. My brake got VERY bright at certain parts of the first race. I honestly thought I had RTX on because of how bright and how much bloom they would give.

 

[CarbonDaimon]

I guess that's one way to make the Underground Tunnel speed zone more challenging...

It happened to me too.

 

[GTvsForza]

Got lucky with this Trial. Although I didn't perform as good as I wanted, my team still was strong.

 

[Populuxe]

For some reason, the Trial was a real struggle for me. It took three tries. We did win the last try in only two races, but each win was only by 50 points. That’s cutting it close.

 

[GTvsForza]

Also did some shopping at the Italian Exotics dealer. Picked up a Miura and Huracan Technica. Now I'm down to 1 mil, got to start grinding again.

As soon as I got the Ferrari F80 and removed the black stripe on the hood, I was in love. Then I went to work on conquering all road and street races with it (40 races!) in one go.

Couple that with completing everything I could do for this week's Festival Playlist for now, and this was the most fun I've had in FH6 in a long while.

 

[DextroCat]

The Pantera is really useful for this week's Night Time Views street race championship. Check out this vulgar display of power versus a field of Unbeatable drivatars. It's so overpowered it's like the car was saying "I'm broken".

Are the playlist championships stuck on “Highly Skilled” difficulty like in FH5 or can you change the difficulty now? That might explain why you won so easily.

There's no mention of a minimum difficulty for the championships, so I assume you can do them on any difficulty. I normally run on Highly Skilled anyway.

You can change the difficulty for the seasonal championships but the trial is fixed.

Being honest, the Trials aren't as hard as they were in FH5. Maybe is just the luck I have with my teams.

I am quite suprised the gulia gtam wmis rhd also any other cars found in the fiels since new update people find stuff in the files

I think the trial being locked to gold wristbands only may have helped a lot.

Gold wristbands, you say? Could've fooled me lol.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

I'm a bit surprised it hasn't been mentioned here but they did release a hotfix which has fixed the tunnel lighting among three or four others things that I have forgotten about.

 

[Jezza14]

I think they may have surreptitiously locked the seasonals to Highly Skilled. I started in 8th position despite my difficulty being set to unbeatable and the AI were very slow. Did the same race with custom settings are started in the usual 10th place and they were much quicker.

Dropped by the Italian Exotics dealer again this morning with no luck. The sales guy must’ve recognised me from yesterday as he told me to buy something or don’t come back. Shrugs

 

[PlageBLN]

I didn't had a single interesting wheel spin car there. I'm looking for a 288 GTO and possibly another F8 but so far no luck.

 

[Ger8]

The f8 is an ugly car as is the f80 ferrari

I'll bet the Wheelspin exclusives will be in future pools. The Aftermarket dealer is said to expire next Thursday but we know it's a full-series thing, so they're probably going to cycle it over to different cars every week.

F80 maybe, but the F8...?

 

[CGT980]

Guess I won't be making a DTM livery for the Guilia tonight. Having issues with the game crashing on me again. I'll have to hang it up there for the night. -__-

 

[Populuxe]

I don’t mean to pile on, but I feel like Ferrari’s design review process for the F80 probably could have been a little more robust than

"I'm not angry, just disappointed."

That bit sums up my feelings towards the F80 in a nutshell.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

You're in luck--in the game, that strip can be painted over. Including the bits around the headlights!

I did mine like this but I couldn’t get the yellow right by spoiler for the decals. I painted the body and wheels blue carbon and wrapped it yellow.

This car belongs to Dana Mecum.

I didn't even see any cars when I visited...

 

[Turboteg90]

It seems no matter where I go on the map it’s always full of players, I don’t play online often, is this how it usually is?

 

[DextroCat]

I think they may have surreptitiously locked the seasonals to Highly Skilled. I started in 8th position despite my difficulty being set to unbeatable and the AI were very slow. Did the same race with custom settings are started in the usual 10th place and they were much quicker.

I just now did the Italian Spritz championship and I’m sure the difficulty is lower than Expert. The game doesn’t give you the opportunity to change the difficulty before the race or if you hit restart during the race like it normally does for custom races. I play custom races between Expert and Unbeatable depending on my car and the race and the AI are significantly harder to beat. It’s very strange that the game doesn’t tell you what difficulty the AI are though.

Yep, on FH6 they tried to make the map full of players. The way they did it AFAIK is by chopping the map to regions/smaller lobbies, so you can see players everywhere. not making the map a whole lobby like previous game

 

[LumpiestFish]

I actually quite like the overall shape and silhouette of the F80, I even actually don’t totally hate the black strip, for me it’s the headlights and lower front end elements where it becomes a pit of a mess.

I like the idea of the black, but really dislike the way headlights sit, with them being just a couple mm under the black rather than flush. They’re also an awkward size which means for me they look worse without the black strip.

The lower bumper region just suffers from the same messiness that a lot of Ferrari’s currently do, its function, but there’s so much going on in the small space it all just clashes.
