Every game will. What Fanatec have you got?

I'm not a hacker. hehe

Let me explain. Read my post above and you'll see that i ended up playing with some 'hackers' yesterday, who had done what i just did and got into that area with the trucks and the warehouse.

Anyway, i was in a lobby this evening and there were four other people doing it as well, so i observed how they were getting in there and copied their movements. It turns out that it's just a glitch in the game and not a hack. Try it yourself and you'll see. It will only be a matter of time before Turn 10/Playground Games patch it up i suppose.

Apologies for cheating in that game, it was the first online session i had done that in and i wasn't intending to carry on with it either.

Sorry. frown

Yup I have a fanatec and seem to do that quite a lot too, what type of shifter do you have? My PWTS makes a loud noise when shifting which you can often hear when I'm using the headset, been shouted at quite a few times lol

Free DLC on January 15th smile . 1986 and 2013 Honda Civic coupes, and a rally version of the Fit/Jazz. Also something to do with a challenge of beating a racing drivers time.

Hey guys.

Does anyone here have a Fanatec which they use for Forza Horizon? Would be interested to see how good it is.

Bit of a long shot I know, but...

Hmmm, not sure. I think everybody on here uses a Madcatz wheel.

Are we sure they don't mean a 1996 Civic Coupe, can only find pics of hatchbacks which I thought was the only Civic they made at that time. But, it's free so mustn't grumble.

I think they might mean the '86 hatch, I've found the Forza news page on it now, they still say its the '86 Civic Si Coupe, but then say its a hot hatch, and there are only pictures of the 2013 Civic and the rally car.

Does anyone else have loads of NEW markers on certain manufacturers in the autoshow, doesn't actually appear to be any new cars and even when you cycle through all the cars the NEW markers still stay on.

Are they the cars in TomN94's post?

With this rally add on, the cars in the regular game can now have rally suspension and tyres. Had a bit of fun lastnight with the rally suspension upgrade that raises the ride height a few cm. With a big American car with big diameter wheels, they kind of look like those 'donk' things hehe

Please, please, please could someone do me a little favour? It's nothing big, will take about ten seconds when you're next in the clubhouse.

I really hate asking but i don't have enough time to earn the money to buy my own cars on the game. I'd give something in return but i don't know what?!

Can someone put up as many of these cars as possible please? They need to be fully upgraded (With aspiration) and preferably in a nice regular colour.

McLaren F1,
Ferrari FXX,
Aston V12 Zagato,
Ferrari F40 Competizione,
Ford GT40 Mk11,
Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4.

And that's it. smile

Many thanks, RobTVR.
