Relaxed, General FH3 Chat

It's not so much AWD vs. 2WD, I feel. Swapping the drive train doesn't make that big a difference if both builds are running the same tyre compound. However, AWD allows you to get away with a crappy tyre compound and since tyre compound has such a huge impact on PI, you can get away with cramming a lot of power / weight reduction into the build. That is what I perceive as the core issue.

Sticking to the stock tyre compound gave me the option to do this. Typically, you'd end up with a car that spins like a dreidel. With AWD, it's manageable. Sure, it ain't no corner carver. Never will be. But even with racing tyres, a car with that much torque is going to be a handful and a half - but it would probably sit in high S1 or low S2

That car seems plenty fast, but those stats are just pushing me away I know the stats don't usually mean too much as it varies from car to car, but that just looks like it'll handle like a brick.

I'm going to have to give this a shot later today and see how it manages for me, with how I set up my cars. I might just be stuck with how slow AWD felt in the Motorsport series as of late.

 

[Luminis]

Well, it does handle a bit like a brick it's not nimble by any stretch of imagination and I'd probably never drive a car like that for fun. It's been spawned by my curiosity about the PI system, I'd say

 

[ToyGTone]

Well guys...i'm just gonna wait until it's Tuesday that day and see the results of something. Hopefully my internet didn't ruin it. 👍

I've done 61 championships and the only route showing as still having a 'new' championship is Goliath..any ideas what the 63rd route would be? For what it's worth I've done all 63 exhibitions...

 

[Techy]

I can't find the last exhibition I'm missing. 62/63 exhibitions..

That's pretty strange you basically have the same issue in reverse.

 

[Eunosthedeer]

I really want to start a time trial series using every car in the Game.

Just need to find the best track in the game on Rivals mode, I have noticed there is a 28 Mile one at Byron Bay.

Just need to save for the really expensive cars as well, Not doing to well financially on this game >.<

At least in motorsport you had the Car Rental.

Perhaps I can get a good deal on some in the auction.

When looking at the map, filter everything off, then select "new". It should show you what you're missing.

Tried it as specified in that post. Doesn't work, only shows Goliath.

I wonder if maybe you're still in the middle of another championship and don't realize it? Like maybe it was five races and you thought it was only four? That could explain why it's only showing one more championship that is new while you're only seeing 61 of 63 completed.

I'm 100% not in a championship, it's legit only showing me one championship. I'll complete that one and then see what happens...

Sounds like your best course of action.

 

[FT-1]

So I jumped into public online lobbies for the first time today and it is not too bad I guess... If you are able to distance yourself from the frantic midfielders.

I had the most ridiculous close encounter I have ever witnessed in an online race - catching up and the end of a long straight to lose by a thousandth of a second (fair play to the winner, he would have let me past anyway)

But later on a similar thing happened which worked out in my favour - Winning the XP Championship by 3 points!

Make sure you've driven down every road in the game as "undiscovered" Routes will not show up on the [New] filter.

If you have 63/63 Exhibition events completed then all of the available Routes should show up already.

That's what worries me most, I certainly hope it isn't glitched.

 

[MockngBrd]

I don't like the photo saving limits

 

[Brend]

Okay, I just did the 62nd tournament.

There's still no 63rd appearing so it looks like I will never get 100%. , this is very peculiar.

• Head to [Rivals] > [Festival Route Rivals].
• Select an area.
• Write down the names of each Rivals event location in that area.
• Compare it to your map and cross off any that you have done.
• Do this for all 4 areas.

Assuming you have all Featival Hubs upgraded to Level 5, you should have access to every Rivals event location.

The above will highlight which Route you are missing.

Post the Route name here and we'll show you where it should be on the map.

Just did a count. They are all there, so for whatever reason one of the tournaments hasn't registered as completed despite all of them having a gold trophy.

Strange.

All you can do now is email forzafb@microsoft.com and explain the issue.

It's the fastest car in the game really the Jaguar D-Type? I've seen some of members hit 295 at certain speed traps.

Yup! 295mph is the fastest I've been able to go, but in FM6 you could get to 300mph IIRC.

From today's WIR:

This week we published the latest update for Forza Horizon 3 for Windows 10. In addition to some behind-the-scenes security updates, yesterday’s update also included some minor performance and stability enhancements to the game. Look for the next update for FH3 arriving on November 2, along with the next car pack for the game. Next week Johniwanna will have his traditional Clue Thread for those of you who want to give your best guesses as to which cars will be coming to the game in November. Here’s one tantalizing tease: We’re adding something in November that we’ve never done before in the Forza Horizon series.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

I hope that's a hint specifically about a car in the car pack, and not about FRC Season 2 coming to Horizon...

 

[VXR]

I genuinely believe it'll be a motorbike, with the first expansion being a full pack of them.

 

[DDastardly00]

Oh man, that would be supreme if it turns out to be that.

 

[Northstar]

I'm guessing motorcycles like @VXR said or snow. If it's either of those it would be awesome.

 

[Eunosthedeer]

I wouldn't mind Motorbikes in Horizon 3.

I am and always will be more of a Car guy, but I wouldn't mind trying out our 2 wheeled friends.

I remember making a thread in the Forza 6 forums seeing if people would be up for Bikes in the series.

Mixed opinions.

Still I welcome them.

Could we be getting Dakar style trucks?.. We had that Merc race truck in 6 so why not have the Dakar trucks here in H3?

FM6 is one thing but FH3 is a completely different animal, motorbikes in an open world game are fun. I have a blast with them in The Crew, especially off road.

I'd love an old school Hot-Rod Roadster.
