Forza Horizon 5

[ajprice]

I may have booked tomorrow and Monday off to have a run at this, with the Late Brake Show Tour on Saturday as a break

[ajprice]

I'm liking it. It's probably because it's new but the map feels a lot bigger than FH4. I know it is about 1.5x the size but it seems a lot bigger than that so far.

Has anyone created a "PHers" club for FH5? If not I don't mind doing so... (edit: I would check but only just bought the premium addons bundle and downloading now...)

ChrisSMorris set up PSTN

I did look around for it yesterday, but I couldn't see it. Is the Delorean in the game yet?

[ajprice]

I managed to get in on a Horizon Open race lastnight, started on the 2nd race of 5 but didn't come last by the end and there weren't any crasher knobs in the racing. So I got that ticked off the weekly challenge list and it got me past 26 points for the season to win the NSX. Now I've done that, is there any point other than OCD to complete the weekly races and scoring (I think) 36?

logged in this morning to find most of my Spring Festival playlist stuff that I completed yesterday has been rolled back so I have to do it again, great.

I'll have to check mine later

Roads discovered: 577/578...

Just found it, it was a dotted dirt road left and above where it says Descansar Dorado on the map.

One is 200k score at Los Campos in the FD Viper... I've managed to score about ~210k three times but it won't complete the accolade, same thing happens with a few others, I don't know if I'm missing something...

Does it have to be a certain PI class too? I had to some a few times after the car wasn't allowed to complete it. One in the weekly challenges for a dirt track speed zone had to be an S2 class Audi. I think another road speed camera had to be a modern sports car.

I for one welcome the PH club weekly challenge leaderboard season finals at Colossus , just unlocked it and did 19:46 in a standard Mégane R26.R (B class). Not a perfect or clean lap, racing the other cars and touched a few barriers.

Are they doing Spring, summer etc again this time 'round?

Winter/snow is rubbish...

Yes, the seasons are different though, there's a storm season, wet season, something else, I think they're still called spring, summer, autumn, winter in game, but I'm not sure what the weather will be for each. I haven't had a dust storm yet.

[ajprice]

I don't see a need to use a glitch either, you get enough bonus stuff as it is.

Got the last few roads, surprised there’s no achievement when you’ve driven them all.

The achievement for me came up before I got 578, I think it was at 571, others have had it at different numbers just short of 578. It might be because you've just got dirt roads left to find, and you've found all the tarmac roads.

[ajprice]

I like it, I got the roads done early and I haven't done many races yet. I'm doing the story stuff to get through the accolades and the seasonal stuff. When the treasure chest thing came up yesterday with the new season I had to remind myself where those were likely to be, ages since I did them in FH4. The new season is very wet in the races, on the tarmac stuff it's probably better off with rally tyres than race tyres or slicks. Got the Delorean lastnight in the seasonal and I might be able to get the Aston without having to do the team games bit .

Still no Forzathon shop for lastnight.

If anyone is still doing barn finds there is usually a dirt track or fencing going somewhere that isn't marked as a road on the map, barns are usually at the end of those tracks.

[ajprice]

There's a PC version mod to add raytracing reflections into the game as well as the garage/photo mode

[ajprice]

Still no Forzathon shop and not connecting to online stuff like the eliminator or open races, I haven't seen the arcade events blimp in the last few days either. I've got the accolades done now, so the Trial is opened up. Doing that next and I think that should get me the Aston Martin in the seasonal. One other thing, I did the Baja story event on the west coast beach to drive through the storms, I think that might secretly open up the storms in the open play, I haven't seen any yet except for in the completed story.

I spotted a board up a pylon lastnight, and I found the board on the balcony mentioned before. I haven't tried getting them yet, I've just seen where they are

I've not tried it, but looks like launch control is available

This is a different way, I haven't tried either yet [URL]https://gamerant-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/gamerant.com/forza-horizon-5-launch-control-guide/[/IMG]

Stop the car
Go to 2nd gear and back to 1st
Hold the handbrake and rev, it should hold at around 2500rpm instead of redline
Release handbrake and go.

If you've got a 2005 BMW M3 (E46) you can put a widebody on it which has a big wing, and then put a big wing on it to give you two big wings . I'm not sure whether this is a bug or a feature, or whether you can do the same with any other widebody kits that have rear wings, but I hope it stays. Found out about that watching this Failrace video lastnight, building a rally circuit with the Event Lab https://youtu.be/3bu1w8k1zxY. The share link for the track is in the video.
