Forza Horizon 4 !

[AmosMoses]

Best setup for the robin is rwd and turbo bike engine, it slides surprisingly well and doesn't want to tip over when skidding

Just put the stabilisers on and wind the engine right up. You'll still be slow through the corners but you make it up on the straight.

I made a 4wd rally Ford Woody for the Rods and Customs series and it's amazing. Original engine with a blower so it's not crazy powerful but it'll four wheel drift like a champ in the snow.

I've got the 1932 Ford Coupe Deluxe. In fact, I've actually got three! All kept the original engine as I like the sound and character.

D-class tarmac spec (small turbo, vintage racing tyres, street suspension, lightened and roof chopped. About 115bhp & stacks of torque. Revs out at 3500rpm!)
C-class rally/dirt spec (4wd, n/a & cammed, jacked up, rally tyres etc. About 150bhp)
A-class maxed out (I think it's about 787 PI) 230bhp, twin turbo and more torque than a Type 42 destroyer. Vintage racing tyres again, only I wanted to keep the front cycle wings, so the maximum tyre width is only 165, which is causing some understeer issues)


For noise alone, I recommend the V10 conversion in an old yank tank. I did it to that Chevy Utility saloon thing, and fitted racing exhaust. The noise...............OH THE NOISE!!!

My 32 is pretty traditional hot rod.

I made a Two Lane Black Top tribute Gasser with the 55 Sedan, I've also got an S class (I think it's a twin turbo Hemi) 4wd Charger for some Dukes of hazzard style jumping.

Just started playing again - I did buy the James Bond pack too but cannot see how I get into that?

Any pointers would be really well received..

Cheers

Have you tried heading to your notifications on the main Xbox screen? Sometimes if downloads don't work I have to head there and click launch.

Another thing that has worked for me is jump into another game then back to Forza and it should work. The pack worked for me.

[The_Jackal]

Have you looked through all the menus?
I think there is one for DLC.
Then you may have to just buy each one for free from the Autoshow, I think there is a James Bond car group.

I got all the challenges for the cars done, got the Hudson, DS3 and the Hilux AT38. It might not be, but the AT38 is very similar to the Hilux pickup used in the Top Gear polar special, the red one with the KC lights on the front. The black Hilux 5 door I had already (I think it was from a wheelspin) is an AT37.

If our have downloaded the pack, go to you main car screen (where it has auto show, auction etc) and there is a small box there that says DLC Cars. You then need to download each one by one to your garage.

I put this on last night for the first time since November. Jez, it pays not to play it! £500k from businesses (guess that's the Worlds Fastest thing) & 16 Super Wheelspins. Netted about 4 mil I think. Couple that with a few treasure chests from the new Island and previous savings means I've bought Bamburgh Castle

A bit useless really, but nice to get the Bentley. The 10 Super Wheelspins I got were far less lucrative. I'm good for clothes and horns though

Late to the party but ordered this game the other day

Should arrive soon.

Just got mine in the same boat mate game is brilliant everyone moans about the engine sounds but I think there ok

They are a bit flat into today's world, IMO. Forza 2 sounds were spot on back in the day, but they haven't really developed much.

Like I said above though - check out the V10 conversions on the old yank tanks. Proper exhaust rasp!

All-in-all I just love it, so addictive. So much to do and get through that it's almost frustrating (in a good way) evyerthing that gets thrown at you on the map.

I'm only up to level 31 (whatever that is), but can't be bothered doing more dirt/street/cross-country races. So gonna concentrate on completing the rental business, finding all the treasure chests and buying/selling interesting stuff on the auctions. Oh and hunting down that pesky Ferrari 812!... They should've just made it available on the roster to purchase by now, huff.

Might make a classic-looking Porsche 993 with 550bhp 4.0-litre n/a flat-six while I'm at it too...

I went to Edinburgh for the first time last year for a couple of days and they've really nailed the layout of it. This is going to keep me interested for months

The more you level up the more spins you will get, and chances to win an 812. At level 31 you have barely started the game. You have to win races across the board and achieve milestones to level up quickly to get loads of cars in the spins.

The Sound of the E-Type behind the wheel.

My god!
Spent a good 2 hours just cruising around in the E-Type in Spring.

This is a great Winter game! I can enjoy UK country roads all year round now :P



Only used 3 cars really.

The 2018 Aston Martin Vantage (£2 DLC, had to have it!)
The Aforementioned E-Type Jag
And an Audi S1

Being really stingy and aiming for a 288 GTO already.

Im a bit disappointed that they have changed the sound for a modified Impreza 22B. Its the nearest I can get to having my car (impreza P1) in the games so in all Forzas I always make a version with the same mods as mine. In FM the modded 22B seemingly has antilag and it pops n crackles on the over run just like mine in real life but it doesnt do it in FH4

[Pommy]

Highy recommend using Manual rather than Auto for the better sounding cars to get that last 500 rpm of noise

[FIREBIRDC9]

Also love the amount of classic British stuff in this.

The update stream is on the Forza YouTube channel now. There's a mk1 Transit, Mercedes SL pagoda, '63 Opel Kadett (Oliver?) and Hillman Imp coming in the next few weekly updates along with the 911 992.
