If you're trying to finish accolades, don't forget that there are two in the seasonal category you need to finish in the next few hours.

Well, I think I finally found an S1 car that really works for me! The C8 is an absolute grip monster, I love this thing

Ah gotcha. I really hope they dial down the number of challenges you have to do each week to get the cars for the next few seasons. It's like 4 too many right now. Also never have any cars behind the playground games, they're the absolute worst.

sometimes I have a lot of fun with the Playground but it should be three events at the absolute most

If you just start throwing the games you can make sure it never goes more than three

I actually had a really fun 3v3 round of playground games the other day, I guess because it was pretty dead. 5 very close rounds, nobody quit at any point, and it felt like everything you did really mattered. 6v6 just feels like your contribution doesn't mean anything a lot of the time. But lol if one more person had been queuing it would have been 4v3 and utterly horrible

This week's trial was so much better, got it on first try. The first is a street circuit on rain and the second is a street sprint so tune your Rare Classic cars accordingly. I managed to get in first on the first track and brake checked until all but one got past the rivals and me. On the second track the npc was in first place but we filled the spots from second downward and won.

Yeah, I feel like the one weird trick to win the trial no matter what is to get pasted the first race so the majority of players quit and there aren’t enough fellow human drivers for the AI to get enough points to beat your team if the remaining drivers have working hands and eyes.

Okay now I have to give that one a shot since I already do Dirt/XC all gas no brakes

I judge my team on the first game, if they're not interested or are bad players, then it's phone time for me to speed up our loses.

I go hard every match of every PG Game I carry the lazy, I tag the infected back in, I trade crowns to get the best scores I never get first place (except in the infect round which isn't counted separately and occasional flag rounds), but I win slightly more than half of the time lmao

What's really fun and helps your team win but doesn't actually score you any points is running interference. If someone's chasing your king, run them wide on a turn so they can't chase. Ram the zombie trying to cut off your last survivor so that they get away clean. Blockade the guy playing goalkeeper so that your teammates can score flags. Okay that last one's probably not so useful compared to just scoring flags yourself considering how typical flag rush games go, but if you do a little bit every time just after scoring it definitely adds up.

Yeah, that's the equivalent of "well, i'm hosed for this leg of the Trial, time to turn around and gently caress up the opponents" which I am entirely in support of

I was thinking to break the opponents by slow driving in front of them if they're in top places, so the teammates could pass them. I don't want to get the rage if I manage to crash in teammates

Any goons playing FH5 on Xbox? I got the limited edition controller but as a Steam user the code is apparently useless to me. Rather it goes to a goon than a random.

Are the stock gearing ratios messed up on a lot of cars? I'm using the Aston Martin Vantage 2019 and it seems to max out at ~162 mph in 6th gear. It has gears 7 and 8 as well, but they're slower than 6th! This seems to be an issue on a lot of cars, from fancy to crap. The simulated top speed is 192 mph so maybe that's the issue.

# ? Jan 7, 2022 19:43 |
Did you swap it to AWD? That installs a new gearbox as well and it's usually tuned like that

I just bought a stock one and tried it out, it was slow from 170-190 but it does hit 192mph at 6800rpm in 6th gear. What control device are you playing on? program a key to open the telemetry and make sure you're actually inputting 100% throttle.

Powershift posted:I just bought a stock one and tried it out, it was slow from 170-190 but it does hit 192mph at 6800rpm in 6th gear. You're right, I wasn't testing it enough. I'm using an xbox controller on Windows and it seems to be working but I didn't try it on the long freeway. I got the car to 190 in 6th gear but 7th gear seemed to offer very little extra. And I couldn't figure out how to use 8th in any way, even at 190. This matches with the gear ratio diagram: I think 7th gear is the rightmost diagonal line highlighted in red, and it looks like the bottom of that line is at about 200 mph, despite the car's max speed of 192. And 8th gear isn't even on the chart. Obviously I can tune it myself if I want (which is cool) but it seems like the real life Vantage wouldn't be tuned like this for a racetrack.

Those upper gears aren't for performance, they're for fuel economy. That's why they're useless when racing in Forza
