Rally tires and stuff are back, you can turn your STi into a 4x4 dream again like FH1. visibility can change... drastically The island is very cool, it's like an offroad paradise, reminds me quite a lot of taking the jeep out around the backroads of arizona a number of years ago hey who put this poo poo in the middle of the god drat road?

God drat storm island is a bunch of fun. I'm keen for races but timezone will gently caress me around a bit, so if I'm online feel free to invite! gt: jonesdoge Also, where is the barn and what is it? (please be a warthog) gently caress searching the whole island, I had enough trouble in those little circles and had to look a few of them up. hanyolo fucked around with this message at 05:03 on Dec 17, 2014 |

Storm Island is officially well worth the $10 if you have VIP. I've only done a few of the championships, but so far the courses seem to have much more of a "flow" to them than the regular FH2 offroad events, and the cross country courses seem to be a lot better, since there are far fewer "shoot the gap between immovable objects" sections, and there fewer annoying sections that roll you over over if you hit them slightly wrong. The only thing that's slightly disappointing is that the rally body kits seem to be limited to a very few cars. So far, I've seem them on the 2005 Subaru WRX, the 1992 Mitsubishi Galant, and the 1983 Audi Sport Quattro, but none of the other cars in the modern rally, 90's rally, or Group B monsters categories seem to have any extra body parts available, which is kind of odd, since quite a few of those cars competed in the WRC, and there's at least one (the Celica GT-Four) that had rally stuff available in Forza 5.

I was referring to the strictly cosmetic parts available in the "aero and appearance" category, not the suspension, tire and transmission upgrades that appear to be available to every car. As an example, the Quattro now has "street" front bumpers, side skirts, rear bumpers, rear wings, and hoods that make it look like the Group B cars, and there are similar cosmetic updates for the other vehicles I mentioned. Turn 10 said that the body kits were available for certain "legendary" cars, so I'm wondering exactly which cars got those upgrades.

Does the Stadium Super Truck really have only three gears or is my game hosed up? Holy poo poo I just won it and drove it to the hub to look at the xmission settings. Three gears, set to a top speed of 119.6 MPH, which appears to be really hosed up. I can't believe I beat that Gauntlet in this thing. I was trying to understand how a truck that's so light with such gigantic tires could be so hard to control. Dr. Faustus fucked around with this message at 09:13 on Dec 17, 2014 |

I noticed last night the rally trans can raise the gear ratio for no real gain on some cars. Go into your tuning and lower the final drive ratio to below 4.0 to get your top speed back

Where is the team that made it based, if it's the UK that might explain it. I was kinda hoping it'd be the Pikes Peak thing that shows up in several of the Gran Tourismo games, or a VW Thing, give me a conversion to turn a bug into one and I'll be happy.

The expansion sounds awesome, I think I'll try booting the game up again tomorrow to see if it will load... Because it hasn't in weeks. It gets to the Press A to Start screen, hit the button, and... Loading Please Wait. I've left it for hours and it will not load. I tried using one of my friend's profiles who had a saved game... same result. I tried using another profile with no saved game... same result. I deleted and reinstalled the game, same results. Got the update and hoped it would be fixed... same results. I had just gotten back to the game since being distracted by some other stuff, and was just a handful of races away from the second finale. I started having really long load times about a week before this started so I've just been waiting to see if poo poo worked itself out, but maybe I should contact support... I've definitely enjoyed the game so far but I do not want to have to rebuild my garage from scratch.

I'm... not sure I have actually. I tried what I thought was a normal power off using the controller, as well as signing my profile out, and opening another game to make sure FH2 was no longer running (about the only thing Destiny is good for), but I don't think I tried that. I... rather doubt it will work, considering how long it's been an issue and my roommates using it as well, but worth a try. I probably should have thought of that, but a LOT of things on the Bone are not very intuitive at all (took me quite a while to find the stupid storage space manager).

How much do you have to deal with Sean Macguire in this game? The whole bro emcee poo poo put me right off in the demo. I would have been up for it but if he's up in your grill after every race, then gently caress that.

Now that I have the Fanatec CSW v2, I'm selling my Thrustmaster TX, which is pretty much brand new. FH2 drives really well with a wheel, easily the best of any of the arcade-sims out there. Wheel also works with PC. Someone come buy it! http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3689683

As if I don't tell people enough at work to turn it off and back on again... The DLC seems alright... The offroad handling does feel better, but I still prefer roads. And I'm itching for some goon racing, I guess F5 is more of the destination for that than FH2?

I'm dying to get online, too. It's just not the right time of year. There's a really cool spec race tomorrow night at 10pm EST with the GRC folks (see the FM5 thread) and I haven't even had time to get a car ready. I'm working all through the holidays, but after New Years when things settle down, I hope to look people up on the weekends for some multiplayer.

Sorry for the double-post, just wanted to bump and say hello: Personal crap: Work has been nuts, and it will remain so for at least a few more weeks, and probably a couple weeks more than that (due to Valentine's Day... it's a USPS Mail thing). It's the nature of my business, plus the added complications of a huge merger. I've had zero gaming time recently. I haven't actually had Christmas yet. I worked all this week and my immediate family will get together on Sunday for our "Christmas." Then it's right back to work through New Year's holiday. But enough bitching! Want to play FH2 in the GRC (Goon Racing Club)? Just friend any of us Co-leaders and you can join! I'm Captain Howdy 0, and the other club leaders are GutBomb303, MacClay, and whatcubed3. Feel free to join in!
