Forza Horizon 4 |OT| Seasoned to Perfection
- Thread starter Klobrille
- Start date
Thanks, that wasn't really made clear in game.
OK, so this is weird:
Maybe because it's through game pass, but FH4 doesn't show up as an installed game.
I was finally able to get the update by going to the entry in the store and using the update link there.
Have fun! Braking/throttling/feathering is extremely important in this game. Take the braking line seriously and try to hit them as closely as possible - that will give you the best apex through the turns and give you faster times (for the most part). The cleaner driving will allow you to pass the cars.
Thanks both. I think I was just early in the US or something as it showed up today. So it is there and I indeed did not have to do anything. Thank you for the replies!
Fuck me, thanks for this. Was sitting on 900k in credits that were about to expire....I've been grinding credits lately so this is a huge help.
So how do you all decide which cars to try, other than the obvious super cars which draw your attention? I have ~16.5 hours into the game but I've barely used 10-15 distinct cars other than one-off special events, since I keep going back to a couple that I really love - one great for off-roading, another that's rated X-999 so it gets me top speeds whenever that's needed.
I end up sticking to the same ~10 cars, a habit I'm trying to break, but generally it's just "ooh that car looks cool/fun"
My car sounds keep going wrong since the updat, even if I'm not moving it'll sound like it's Reving in the 1000s
I favorite some cars. I reallylove one of the Mazda and the tune for it, it's been a blast to drive.
This happens to me too, I really love driving them and getting a feel for the cars.

I'm familiar with a lot of them just from playing the racing genre for so long, but I think it's brilliant how so many of the Forza Story events are basically "mini commercials" for the different vehicles, right down to a low-risk warmup trip before the actual specific challenge event, and little comments/factoids about the car itself along the way. LaRacer and the Stunts especially.
When you guys get new cars, do you immediately auto-tune them for different classes at your house? Or do you just drive them as-is for a while?
And if you auto-tune them, how do you decide which class to tune them for?
I'm doing the same thing as you, which is why the challenges are nice because they get me to use a car I might not have otherwise driven.
I wish they'd brought back the 1000 Challenge system from the first Horizon game - maybe blended it with the purchasable skill system in 4. Being able to earn some abilities by performing challenges for each individual car would give more of a reason to use them all.
I actually can't believe that system was only in the original Horizon.
I posted agiant google spreadsheet of a ton of tunes a few days ago; the past few days I've just scrolled down that list, found a car that I own, and applied the tune before even leaving the garage. Generally I find a lot of the normie/non-supercar cars to perform too sluggishly for me when they're stock
Yep Im having that same issue followed by a period of no sound at all.
It's funny, the super cars are maybe the least interesting to me. Even when I was really into cars and watching Fifth Gear/Top Gear on a regular basis, all the supercars kind of blurred together; now it's just whatever to me. So the cars I end up picking up fall into three categories.
The first is quirky or interesting-to-me cars, which will always be a very personal selection and not really based on specific criteria. I bought a 1991 Subaru Legacy because it was the car my parents owned for a decade and I'm fond of it. I bought a Lancia Stratos and Fulvia because I like Lancias in video games for some reason.
The second is made up of cars I intend to paint. Sometimes there's a bit of a mercenary angle to this--I grabbed a McLaren Senna because I knew people liked that car and the available skins for it so far are frankly kind of uninteresting. So maybe anything I create will have a better chance of floating to the top. But often it's just a car that I think will be nice to paint--good lines, lots of flat surfaces to apply vinyls to, etc. I have a Lambo Aventador that was a joy to paint, relatively speaking, and I'll probably end up painting the FE model I won recently as well.
The last is weekly challenge cars, which is pretty obvious. I already have a Corgi ready to go for two weeks from now. Why buy it early? Because I'm thinking about painting it and would like to have something ready for the challenge (see the mercenary angle above).
Yeah if you have the car equipped at the festival and go to where all the downloadable tunes are you can search with one option being search by creator
The Escort Barn Find is seriously my favorite car of the game. I have mine right around A class and it is a blast to run around in.
I don't drive mine as much now that I have my RS200, but the Escort is fun to throw around. It helps that mine has the Solo Jazz pattern as a livery.
What on earth are these sprint races for the weekly challenge? I have done two road race sprints 1st position but no joy.
Nailed it!
The last Super Wheelspin I had was 2x5000$ and a rare pair of shoes. Try to beat that. Let's just say I cursed at PG for a little while... :P
I have a real life obsession with RWD American muscle cars in real life and that carries over to the game.
Offline races I have a stable of Vipers, Mustangs, Chargers that I use.
Online the level of competition is too high to use slow accelerating cars like that, and then there is the Freeroam Rush issue as those events lean heavily towards AWD cars.
For Team Adventure I have a bunch of try hard cars so I can get podiums. AWD Dodge Durango for cross country, etc.
I got that perk for my McLaren Senna but I can't even control the bloody thing. Might try different tyres.
Just try to avoid hitting people. You don't even need to try that hard, honestly; the beginning of any race is usually a clusterfuck of collisions for me and I still manage to rack up clean racing skills no problem.
One thing that really helps is to be in 1st, because there's no one ahead of you to hit! Just don't drive too sloppily and you'll get it. I suppose if you were really desperate you could drop the drivatar difficulty way down to ensure 1st place.
Chapter 4 of the new story is pretty easy to cheat.
Just turn right and drive across the grass. You can hit the curve of the dirt road to reset the timer then easily get to the finish line before 10s runs out
Who here has a favorite car in the game?
For me, it has to be the Aventador. It is so easy to drive and pull off crazy e-brake turns, change directions while smoking all 4 tires. During a Forzathon event where you have to turn around and head back down the same road in reverse, I'll just hit the brake and downshift to pull a 180 and you're still rolling backwards as you slam on the gas and the car just acts so perfectly. The tires shock loose and start to spin and slowly grip as you shoot off in the opposite direction. So much fun.

Really enjoying this game. I've always loved the Horizon games despite being a huge GT fan and this is the best Horizon yet by far personally.
I have 30 hours I think in it so far and over 100 cars though most of those are untouched as I have my go to's.
That car does everything I could ever want it to do. My hillclimb build is basically maxed out power wise, with a focus on acceleration gear ratio wise. Spec wise it's 10s in ever category.
The other builds are more reserved and balanced.
I'm gonna work on a couple other Porsche's as well I think but my next build will be a S15 Silvia drift build for sure.

It's the GT3 RS for me. I have multiple builds for it: Rally, Grip, Hillclimb & Drift

Are you driving a stock Aventador, or is it tuned?
I'm not sure if I have an absolute favorite call for all conditions (yet), but I really like that RS200.
RS200 is the one I've driven the most outside of forzathon challenges. Fun as hell.
Help!
How in the world do I get this bonus board in the forest area up north in the map to the far right of the Greendale Airstrip near the Swan Dive Danger Sign fellas? It's the last one I need. I'm right on top of of it but it's like it's invisible.

I'm using inputmapper for the DS4 wired and it's working for me no problem. You just gotta deal with Xbox prompts is all.
I never auto-tune, it's something I hate and the reason I stopped playing FM7 too.
Most of the time I leave the car in its original class or for the lower ones I stop at A600.
Do a long race and drive carefully. The clean racing skills pop pretty regularly. I did a regular road race sprint and got nine.
