One of my only disappointments about the car classes is 'Modern Rally' it's literally 5 Imprezas and a Mk1 Focus RS laugh

Had such a blast last night just crusing round in a GT3. Not even flooring it everywhere just trying to drive realistically. 2004 911 GT3 is my favourite car I've tuned so far I think.

Just downloaded on game pass. What a stunning looking game.

The racing's great, the bloody festival crap and story is detracting. It's not changed since the original, same banal crap but the games stunning.

Steering was awful but setting the deadzone to 5 and 85 has improved it no end. Not sure if have bothered after 2 and 3 as nothing much has changed. I don't think they've topped 1 yet, would be nice to see that remade like fh4.

Whats this steering setting all about? I find mine is almost too responsive and needs to be numbed a little.

Festival story is a bit cheesy but gives it narrative.

I bought this game 2 days ago and haven’t had time to play it, I’ve been reading all the threads and watching game play videos (at work) and I’m really excited to play it, only worry is, how much do you need to play until you can get into the nice cars and have enough money to mod what you want?
About 10 minutes haha, game chucks cars and money at you like no ones business. Granted there are some flagship cars that cost silly money but plenty of fun stuff for low budget too.

Go into controls, then advanced settings

You can increase or decrease sensitivity, for me the settings are now pretty much spot on.

Last night I bought my first car, an E39 M5 LMB and kept it stock, it feels pretty bloody accurate to my car. The steering is suggestively heavy and the speed at which the rear breaks loose and can be modulated is really nice.

Now if only they would bring back Project Gotham, these graphics and handling but in an arcade racer!

I got the achievement on 529/531...but noticed it rose to 530/531 when I was driving up an unmarked track to a Barn Find.

There are a few real sneaky ones where it’s the lay-by at the side of a road so hard to see unless right on top of it

First spin of the wheel landed me an e34 m5 to sit next to my e39, next spin a Ford GT!

Just tried photo mode too, really loving this now but Derwent water....

Have enjoyed this so far.. more so than FH3.

Actually get more enjoyment out of driving the lower C and B class cars like hot hatches than the hyper cars. Just feels a bit more believable for me.

The global leaderboards are a joke though... score 3 stars in a danger sign and see that someone has jumped 16,000 ft... wish they’d sort that out!

Finally got to playing this last night on the kid's XBOX. Loving the UK setting, car list and music. Seriously considering getting a One X to play it in full 4K (plus RDR2 and a few other upcoming things).. is the leap to One X worth it?

Arse. I bought a Miura on the AH last night - loved the one in FH3. Was really hoping to skill master it and get the Reventon too but the last owner had already claimed it and you can't do it again!!

Tried to do a few PvP and Co-op races to get those achievements done, but every time the race loads the controls stop working so I have to reset the game. Given up now until spring comes around tomorrow.

Yeah when it keeps freezing and crashing you’ll be able to see stunning still images

Finally got a chance to play this for a few hours before the end of winter. Pretty cool in the snow, but I think I do prefer the other seasons.

Does anyone know if you can change the settings somewhere so the radio plays while you're at your home? It feels a little quiet when I'm working on my cars.

I had to buy a garage radio for when I'm working on my actual car - I don't like quiet smile
