I've got to my favourite bit of Horizon games (sarcasm mad ) , 485/488 roads completed. Can I find the last 3? Can I hell. Theyre probably little gnarly driveways onto random farmhouses around the map, or access roads between 2 others, but no, the grey road lines on the map are now invisible to me hehe . I've also found out that the old Abarth 500 with a turbo bike engine is a bit of fun to drive. It doesn't fall over all the time like the Isetta and Reliant. The old Mini will probably be in a DLC at some point.

Thanks, I'll check the skills next time I'm on, but I'm a way off the top row, still filling in row 2 of the grids.

Anyway, today it's been downloading the PC version update (50GB again!), and for me at least, it's playable on PC now. Not quite as shiny as the Xbox, and I still get the low memory warning and the odd low frame rate, especially at surfers paradise, but it didn't freeze or crash tonight.

I'm picking up an Xbox One S tomorrow as an upgrade to my well used Xbox 360 and really want to grab this game.

Can I just download it or do you need to get the physical disc still? I have pretty speedy unlimited internet so a big download isn't an issue.
On disc, or as a download version which also gets you the WIndows 10 version, the download is about 50GB.

Found the last one tonight.
The main road to the left of the lake by Kiewa Valley, there's a little dirt side road with a bucket list car and an XP board there. Can't have gone that way much before, and ,just have been fast when I was to fly by it.

Other than that, there's the little driveway dirt roads to some of the farmhouses, some have gaps between them too. The construction site, the pink lakes.

If anyone else has done what I did and downloaded the game update and driven to the Blizzard Mountain checkpoint just to get an error message about failing to download from the marketplace when you press install, do this: come out of the game into the Xbox screen, press the menu button and go to Manage Game, download the Blizzard Mountain update from there, it's 3.66GB

Finally got the original Mini today, took it into the upgrades section, and... there's no bike engine swap option, just 2.0 I4 and 1.6 rally engines. Bugger! I really wanted to have a play with a bike engined Mini, same as I've done with the Reliant, Isetta and 500. frown

So the Windows version of the January update didn't go well. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-01-04-it-lo...

1. It was the whole game 50+ GB download
2. It was the developer build debug version
3. It probably screwed your save file and needs the game to be reinstalled.

It did also show the Porsche pack and some other stuff in the code.

Somebody's been digging into that debug code that went out as a Windows game update http://www.teamvvv.com/en/news/comments/Forza-Hori.... There could be Forzavista in freeroam, high resolution photos (like Big Picture mode that used to be in I think FM4) and more camera settings. Or they may be testing things for FM7 and it won't be in Horizon 3.

For the 997 you can repeat the same bucket list challenge 5 times. I'm still stuck on 487/488 roads incidentally, absolutely certain it's glitched now.
Yep, did it that way lastnight to get the 997.

Currently staying at my dad's, so i just popped home to do the 959 forzathon (I missed the one for the 918), and after the second round I unlocked the final showcase event. So the quick 3 race championship then took a bit longer than intended hehe .

Still got loads of races to do and bonus boards to find, but I've got all the signs that are showing on the map.

The latest Forzathon was BS. Here's an indecently difficult challenge to win a vehicle that WAS in the game that I purchased, but was removed by the developer by the time I'd bought it for being "too good". Whatever. The livery editor was busted, too. Uninstalled.
The current Forzathon to win the Huracan HE?



You've uninstalled it now, but for anyone else tonight.. It's 3 stars at the Airport Dangersign in a Mercedes G65. Just under 9 hours left at the time of posting. Come at it from the south, along the dirt track to the left of where it says Dry Reservoir on the map, don't go direct to it off road, it slows you down. Around where the road splits into two, go off road straight for the ramp (selecting it on the sat nav directions helps), a speed of around 130mph should do it (max out the G65 mods). It takes a few goes, I got 15-20 short on distance a few times. Coming from the junction, you will come at the ramp from the left and fly over to the right. It is possible.

New Forzathon today (the chatbot told me thumbup ) . 2 of them are to complete championships to win cars, a 911 GT3 for winning in a classic racer and a 918 for any championship. If you do a championship in a classic racer you win both cars. Not sure if they intended that 2 for 1 but I'm not complaining hehe . Another one is 20 speed skills in a retro hot hatch. Easy. Get in your hatch and hoon it around the airstrip and the motorway/interstate (what do they call them in Australia?). 4th one is to win 3 races in an A class car, should be simple enough. It's open for a week until June 19th.

If you do a 3 race championship in an A class Classic Racer you get 3 in 1. I only won 2/3 races but still got it, which was nice.
Well played smile didn't think of that one, I haven't got that many classic racers though and none of them were A class.
