What wheel are you using that's giving you trouble?

Fanatec CSWv2. I haven't actually had time to try it out yet, but if I had to guess it probably behaves the same as FM6: Apex (basic inputs work, but no FFB profile).

Seems like the target is late September for both FM6/FH3, so hopefully in time for the full release?
http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/turn10_postst70330_FH3----Currently-Supported-Wheels.aspx

(I'm sure that, as with Apex, this would work with the PS3/G27 emulation mode, but given the other technical issues I think I'll just wait for the patch)

Go to the autoshow, there's a DLC cars section on the menu. Add each car individually.

loving hell.

E: Went back to Byron Bay to expand it to level 3. Select button got me my loyalty cars all at once. Then I had to go to the Autoshow and download each and every other DLC car one at a time. Pick car. Select color. Hit A a couple times. Wait for save. Watch unskippable car intro. Repeat. It's done, but I hope the cars download automatically into your garage from now on.

P.S. - Got most of my vinyls up just now. Nice to be in on the ground floor, selling already.

P.P.S. - DASHOE: PLEASE GET FH3 AND UPLOAD HOWDY TEARS. DON'T MAKE HOWDY CRY OR TRY TO COPY YOUR WORK MANUALLY!

P.P.P.S. - Looks like I must finally learn to drift. I've managed this long. I guess it's time to doriftu~.

Horizons 3 seems fun. How it's handled on the PC is a little iffy, tho. Runs basically in maximized window mode instead of proper fullscreen, the mouse cursor never goes away, and switching to the XBox app for sign-in and stuff is jarring. Other than that, it seems fun. Can't find a way to adjust steering sensitivity, tho (--edit: On the keyboard controls). Don't want to use the G27 for a game like this.

Well, it pretends my G27 ain't one, anyway...

Apex was kinda like that with the windowed thing but I think you could hit the maximize button and make it go fullscreen. But yeah the mouse was always there, you had to park it in the corner.

The stuttering on PC seems to have a lot more to do with background asset loading than GPU utilization. Setting the FH3 task priority to "low" in the task manager solved most of my stuttering issues. Setting it to "high" immediately turns the game into a slideshow.

Oh cute, "Friends Only" refers to friends that I have friended, not people that friended me. Horizon 2 didn't seem to have this limitation. Set it to Open, I'll deal with sweeping out the randos (if any join) later on.

Microsoft announced that the PC version has issues but they have not said anything yet about Xbox One. if you're able to, load the game on Xbox One first and then you should have all content when you move over to PC.

Yeah, XBOX has all the bonuses right now. Apparently you can get them unlocked on the PC as well by getting them on the XBox first, saving your game, and then loading the same game inside the PC version.

My A800 1970 AWD Camaro from FH2 imported as S831 or so. I dropped from race to sport tires and dropped to A799 in one go. FYI. Flywheel and drive shaft upgrade later, back to A800. Feels like home.

Will do. 7 skill points away. Thanks for the rec.

That pre-order AMG is the loving tits. Sounds mean as hell, too. The Mercedes-AMG C 63 S Coupé Preorder Car.

I'm only at 206k fans. It'll be awhile before the club tab opens for me. Gonna grab some barn finds and add a driver, then I'll get back to grinding fans.

The one thing about driving that is aggravating me is the engine hiccup you get whenever you lose traction/hit something, etc. I hate that pause between hitting the gas and the engine waking back up.

So did the Xbox One thread finally suffocate to death under the anti-MS ImP'zoners or is it now floating around with a different name/thread tag

edit: "You'd be a terrible train driver! You're early!" Huge slam on train drivers out of nowhere!

edit2: Anyone else having trouble getting Groove Music to work as an ingame radio station? I sat up the trial period, went into the app and selected a playlist, but FH3 keeps saying there's a network error when I turn to the Groove radio station, and that I need to check my connections. Obviously not having any network issues as I can still play online. I quit both the Groove app and FH3, and rebooted the game, but the error persists.

Not that it's a big pain - plenty 3rd party apps let me jam a USB stick into the Bone and play my favorite music that way, but I'd like it to be integrated into the game - much like the original Forza Horizon allowed me.

Of all the hosed up bungles MS made with the Bone, I can't believe they didn't keep personal music a priority. That was one of the best features of the 360.

Finally have 320k+ fans. Hope my Club tab opens soon.

I started a club for me and my old buddy ToneZone750 who is learning to drive. If he doesn't gain enough fans to join, I'll quit and come join GRRC. I had to give the guy a chance, we ran TFC clans together under the same name.

The original Horizon (and all of its DLC) is in fact being pulled off the 360 marketplace after 4 years, but at least they gave a heads-up this time: http://www.forzamotorsport.net/en-us/news/wir_9_23_16

You have until October 20 to get it in case you haven't bought it during one of the times it was on sale for $5 this year.
