Playing on xbox. Grinding Willys for super wheelspins.

That's seriously a terrible way to play the game.

I've been exploiting the willy super wheelspins but I've just been using the s2 drift tune on my Willy to farm car mastery points. 3 starred all the drift zones, smashed 500 cactuses, free roaming around getting the bonus boards and just working my way through my accolades. Once you get a skill song and the 10x bonus come up, I generally end up with over 2 million skill points and then i get bored. It's really a fun little car.

I'm also on the premium add-on package and with the VIP pass so you never really feel the need to grind that much credits anyway...

You are supposed to be able to play the game one handed, colour blind, blind, deaf which is the developers commitment to accessibility and that's why i don't think this will be patched out and it's working as intended. I actually have no problem with people tying a rubber band on RT to get the car to go forward to do the 10 laps of goliath but its 1 hour and 40 mins(?) of time that is better off spent mining crypto currency. After all, the levels are meaningless and after a while the currency is also just as meaningless when you go back to your favourite cars over the remaining 500 cars.

I did hear about the glitch about buying the The Toyota AE86 through the Car Collection but it's no big deal, so what if you get it a week earlier?

Forza 5 is nowhere near as incomplete as cyberpunk was - it's pretty much feature complete and the bugs are not really gamebreaking. I think the main issue is that this is the biggest ever launch on xboxlive with over 8.5 million players and the servers were overwhelmed by that and it's something that they're fixing. I have noticed that i'm not getting the same level of disconnects compared to the pre-launch week so that's something at least.

Like i said Willy for drifting. Hoonigan 86 Ford RS200 EVO for a lot of the PR stunts, Jesko Koenigsegg for speed traps, and any random shit for the races that I've bought a maxed out tune for that performance level for online events lol. I've 3* all the PR stunts except for the trailbreakers and still trying to figure out a solid vehicle for that.

IFyou're still stuck on the default supra, go do the stories. They throw so many cars at you there just for completing the stories and start working toward the season quests - lots of free cars there as well.

200! Haha that's insane! Yeah i think you get refunded if you gift a car with points.

I've only done about 20 of them but even then i got bored.

I have the 2014 918 Spyder in my car collection - and i do remember redeeming it from my inbox..

I'm still learning the game but for me the AI on up to expert in street and races up to S1900 class is quite manageable (I make too many mistakes in S2 class) - I think the problem is that a lot of players rely too much on shitty tunes from the tune shop. I think a lot of them are driveable but they're not really that fast. All the popular Tunes are AWD, its like the first thing they do when they get a car is change it from RWD to AWD and then build around getting high launch, acceleration and grip.

I don't know if that's the problem but with AWD the problem is understeering so you have to slow down a lot more to turn in whereas with a well tuned RWD build you just get your car pointed in the right direction and power through losing less speed?

Anyway, last couple of days I've been trying to learn how to tune my own cars rather than downloading crappy tunes off the internet and it's more rewarding but more time consuming.

I thought your save should be backed up to the cloud? Hope you get your progress back.

I was just messing about just now with the BMW i8 because for the Trial this week you need an A800 Modern supercar. Normally, I'm quite purist and stick to the same engine and drivetrain with my upgrades but i really wasn't feeling like driving an AWD electric car. So, I swapped out the engine and changed the drivetrain to RWD, and put in the basic upgrades to get 800. Did 0 tuning apart from changing the gear ratio. Liked the stats and took it for a road sprint. Overtook the Pro AI at about 75% into the race. Still a little too easy to oversteer but a lot of fun and would definitely benefit from some tuning.

As a pipit, I'm never going to drive any of these cars in real life so I prefer to drive Horizon's interpretation of the cars to get a feel of the different cars rather than homogenising everything to drive the same.

That sucks man. At least you keep cars, credits and wheelspins. The silver lining is you get tons of rewards doing the easy accolades and missions all over again..

Ehh doesn't seem so bad wha.... powerslides into the caldera.

Seem like the key to driving it is properly is to properly manage the throttle and the xbox series controller gives good vibration feedback when the rear wheels are about to slide out (I play with assists off except for ABS so no impact on handling). Maybe it's possible to have a tune that tames it slightly without sacrificing it's unique characteristics.

What's the purpose of posting the noob video above? You don't get any post count in this forum...

I'm not a pro gamer just someone who likes games. And I share my own genuine opinions on the game rather than just posting random videos.

I hate low quality posts. You just posted a video without any commentary, so how do you expect people to react? You're a new probationary account, I don't know anything about you. You could just be trying to pad your post count so that you can scam people further down the line - maybe you are maybe your aren't - like i say i don't know. If this your youtube account that you're trying to promote that would be cool, just say so in the post.

The video itself is just a story mission that happens early on in the game. It doesn't show any exceptional gameplay. I don't understand the language in the video. What's the purpose of the video?

It's a genuine question.

Yes in the cars tab go to tune car>setup manager and that will give you the option to reset tuning settings.

Dude - no one is criticising your youtube video/channel - I get that I'm not your target audience. I'm complaining about your post here in the forums - just a video - no caption saying why you're posting the video. Even a simple caption - "damn cool lah the sandstorm, here's my video of it" would be better than just posting a video.

Don't use your posts to advertise your personal webpage.

And yes, I have nothing better to do.

I've used that and it's very useful for creating a base tune. Someone on reddit created a spreadsheet for it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Jlt...pGos/edit#gid=0


I think HokiHoshi's parts and upgrade guide is also very useful for knowing what to upgrade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvSOOu_4XRw&t=0s

Congrats! did you end up with extra cash and cars?

I'm playing on series x and the game's new build is less stable for me. The most annoying one is the saving never completes (which seems to happen whenever i try to save a tune) followed by the longer loading times.
