This game really doesn’t want me to change the paint on the Porsche 918 Xbox 20th Edition. Every time I log in to play, it goes back to the original design.

poo poo this new seasonal coop event is a ballbuster

modern supercars A800 - pissing down rain... some cars I couldn't even find an A class tune for, like the GTR. Had a ferrari 430 that could make the class and it was pretty fun, although it wanted to kill me the whole time. Anyway the unbeatable AI are just that, 3 cars gently caress off away and nobody could get close so we lost easy. The rental is some badly tuned i8 POS so avoid that.

If you take the GTR '17 and put offroad tires on it, it takes the class down below 800 and gives you a bit of room to add a few more things to it.

Well I played some multiplayer thing. It was in the Mayan temple area and there were games like infected vs survivors, capture the flag type thing, and something else I can't remember. It was a little fun but mostly a waste of time, plus my team had one less player the whole time which made it pretty hard to win.

One thing I'm confused about is the flag game, can't the defenders if there are five of them just kind of create an impenetrable box around the goal area and prevent all scores?


It's a shame the Sesto is so ugly, such a good car. but I don't like how it looks, it's like a child's idea of a badass car

I've been rocking the Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK Forza Edition with a Gulf Oil light blue/light orange paint scheme that looks so loving good. Car is really fun to drive since it's a 10 in every category except speed and offroad. Not the fastest but looks so great and very fun to drive. Usually I'm either driving that or the Hoonigan RS200 (which I finally manage to buy in the auction for like 600k)

Internet Explorer posted:

Something about the AI just don't seem right in this game, certainly not something I ever noticed in Horizon 4. It seems like the AI cars just act so inconsistently. Like, you'll be going along a relative straight, no real driving involved, and a car that you've been keeping up with in other straights, or even early in the straight, will just rocket ahead. And then at times, similar thing, except for in reverse. It'll be like they literally had a flat tire and slammed on their breaks, without breaklights.

I know that racing games have rubberbanding to try to keep things interesting, but it's not something I've seen mentioned a lot in the Horizon threads. It almost seems like rubberbanding, but like, not when it's supposed to be doing it.

Anyone else notice this?

Someone posited another explanation, but one other thing is that the pathfinding/racing line is a bit broken. It will often indicate to slow down when switching roads, or approaching a small bump, even in the middle of a race. But it's actually totally unnecessary to slow down at all. However, the AI automatically slows down when instructed to by whatever constructs the racing line. If you don't slow down there (and you shouldn't), it's kind of the main opportunity to gain on the AI opponents. And if you don't have racing line enabled you might not notice this. It's kind of annoying actually because I never know if I need to take the red 'slow down' indicators seriously or not.

Also, obviously, if you get sideways even a tiny bit, get wheelspin, or even touch anything you'll be slowed down drastically.

If you sit still in flag game you go transparent and lose collision. But also yes, a lot of defense is focused around the capture area in ctf

One more thing: I did my first user-provided tune today and I'm a little confused. I thought they were tunes as in tuning the exact specs of the springs and dampers and aero and such, not just different arrangements of parts. They're both, right?

Is there any way to get tunes that don't include new parts and just have setup changes?

azflyboy

Unless you already own the parts used on the tune in question for that specific car, the game makes you buy them when you install the tune.

one of the console forzathon store items is the civic coupe which isn't available any other way

I mean that the guy and all above are cheating, you can see the car he is using, the game says it is D-Class but it is not possible to have a D-Class tune for the Manx.

You need 3 people who aren't total dipshits.

For the "total jump distance" thing, use quick travel to get back to the start.
For "do as many air skills", find somewhere in the circle where you can consistently get the wheels off the ground every few seconds like this https://streamable.com/33y0q2

I did one earlier and we had, oh, five to seven going.

First stop was the airfield right outside the main Horizon base. Just hopped in my Jesko and murdered the meter a couple of times and the other two were pretty easy after that.

You can switch cars during Arcades, so I moved to a Rally Fighter for the third one since lol Jeskos on dirt

I'm slower than them! I can do anything I put my mind to. Especially being slow

I actually haven't fiddled around with leaderboards or minmaxing at all yet. I feel like I race pretty well, I always have difficulty at highly skilled or expert but finding out the exact best car and the exact best upgrades and tunes to use is kind of boring. I like to use a different car every race and I race with totally stock cars frequently. I just choose one that might be fun and go with it

One thing I've noticed is that in street league or whatever it's called, the checkpoints with the orange smoke coming off the flares are ALL fcuked up. Like they look pixelated like they're on the SNES or something, it's a very strange effect and I can't help but notice it in every street race

It was a poo poo ton of fun, though. I got to pretend i was an old timey moonshiner running from the fuzz.

share code for the C700 32 ford: 406 502 938
