Relaxed, General FH3 Chat

[PJTierney]

And chances are, someone will make a group for FH3 soon for RWD drag.

Edit: Is anyone else finding the Polaris RZR to be a (lethal) joke car?

I bought one an hour ago and did an A-Class Cross-Country event to see how it compared to the Ariel Nomad...

...got a Top 10 on the leaderboards.


It seems to soak up the bumps better than the Nomad and since it's naturally AWD it doesn't want to slide around as much.

The standard version also only has 1 gear (or at least the setup I downloaded did anyway); launch and acceleration were through the roof but the top speed was a meagre 190kmh (about the same as the Warthog).

I've already sold off my Nomad and made the Polaris my go-to off-road car for A-Class. For any off-road events that have a lot of straights my backup option is a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI.

Did 2 laps on Golith on Expert Difficulty, and i lapped the AI... When i lapped end of the pack... they were still at Byron Bay..

I did 6 laps, managed to lap all twice but noticed the same thing, all but two were in Byron Bay each time. Weird stuff.

 

[DJTHEKING]

I must say, the GTA Spano is very photogenic, i think i'll take lots of pics with it.

The car is so surrealist, it's hard to believe it's real. It somewhat reminds me of Dali.

I'm curious, has anybody faced with me (Koios1031) or am I in your crew? I'm curious if how I do and what car I'm driving. In another thread, it was mentioned that I drive a Veneno, which I don't own.

 

[Bastet]

Races some GTP'ers within the last few days, not in the club myself. I don't remember who it was but I just wanna say thanks for being one of the few people online who don't think it's Bumper Cars 👍

I ended up ramming one of them, because i couldn't stop in time, or avoid it, ruined my attempt to go for 2 clean laps. :\

It was discussed earlier in the thread, but the game doesn't load the entire map when you're out in the world. It generates and degenerates parts of the map as you move. Goliath takes place on the entire map, so once you get far enough from the AI, they get caught in the portions of the map that are no longer "there" and become stuck in limbo until you come around again. That's why it's so easy to overlap them.

That explains! Thank you!

I always choose the Polaris for the buggy races, it's so easy to drive and is pretty fast.

Finally got the 5 million cr to buy this, so happy to have this in my garage, actually the first car in the game that I've bought haha.

 

[Eunosthedeer]

The Ferrari F40 is currently My most expensive Purchase I have made in this game.

and that was with a discount.

From what I've seen the Shelby Cobra Daytona is the most expensive Car in the game. 8 Million credits

ouch!

There's some 10 million credit cars, the Alfa 33 Stradale is. I'm saving for it at the moment.

Actually there's a couple 10 million cr cars, I think they are all Ferraris, I know the 3 250s are each 10 million.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Reasonably sure the Alfa 33 is 10 million too. I imagine it's to try and delay it becoming a leaderboard monster yet again.

 

[deadbob777]

I'm glad they didn't go with realistic values for these or I'd be saving for another 15ish mil or more, and 250GTO would be quite a bit more

 

[Gerarghini]

I forgot I had sim damage turned on* and my Integra straight died after one and a half laps of Goliath...

Either the upgrades I gave it killed the MPG, or it really does only take 20 minutes to drain it's tank full throttle.

If your sim damage was off, how did it lose gas?

 

[Gerarghini]

On*, my bad.

Plus I just realized it may've been more realistic because of the way the mileage system in this game is set up.

 

[deadbob777]

If you have sim damage on do you have to go to the gas station? If so I don't think I've ever seen a gas station, or is fuel only a thing in races?

 

[Gerarghini]

If you're on sim damage then it's also possible to run out in free roam. Gas is refueled any time you go to an Autoshow since the only gas station I can think of is in the Outback.

Pro-tip for those hunting for barns:

Drone mode will actually put barn finds on the mini-map if you fly into one of the barns.

 

[Maxrevv]

Just realized I've never purchased a car outside of Festival upgrades and auctions Haven't touched the Autoshow yet. Only got my cars from Midnight Battles, wheelspins, auctions and barn finds.

Maybe its because I kinda feel like I want to keep the mystery aspect of the car list since I don't really remember the full car list, and even if I was spoiled, I could easily forget about them as easily as I forgot what I ate last night.

So far only got 40 or 50 cars, seeing some of you getting up to 200 now damn.

 

[Bastet]

Game used to very rarely crash for me ever, now since the update it crashes all the time, specially when dealing with painting

 

[-Fred-]

So I've got 14 barn finds, and the purple spot is on the map for the 15th one, I've found the actual barn, but if I get to it there's no animation... I've tried it 3 times now, and it just will not give it to me.

 

[Populuxe]

So I decided I'd try Bucket List #17 again, the one drifting the NSX in the rain. I got it first try. I'm still kind of stunned.

 

[deadbob777]

I'm going crazy trying to find my last 2 bonus boards, 1 5000 and 1 1000, maps are so hard to use when there's only 2 left out of 150.
Edit: Okay down to 1, somehow harder than the ones on the 12 apostles

 

[imported_rik19]

How far do you have to play to be able to buy cars...? Can`t buy any yet....

 

[Luminis]

So, err, I'm quite surprised by the Lexus RC-F. That fat pig was the first car I upgraded to S-Class that felt drivable while retaining the RWD drivetrain and without using any driving aids. Might be because it actually upgrades to S900 largely based on weight reduction, so you don't need to throw oodles and oodles of power at it...

The other RWD car that, to me, handles well in S-Class is the 458. A Ferrari, of all things. It just had to be a Ferrari. It's not even running racing tyres! My NSX, meanwhile, turns into an utterly unruly monster whenever I push its PI that far Any recommendations?

I think the Autoshow unlocked once I opened the second festival location. Not far into the game, at any rate.

 

[NLxAROSA]

Same for me, paid full price for it as there were none of them in the auction house at the time. I guess this is because they don't show up in wheelspins, so nobody is looking to sell the one they bought?

 

[prousonhairy]

They can have this 2k wheelspin up their freaking ass. I've gotten that thing 3x this morning already.

They should of had a perk you could unlock to remove it, that would of been the proper thing to do.
