Forza Horizon 4

Route creator should be nice for providing more unique races. I'm spending most of my time now tweaking and tuning cars, something I never really cared about doing myself in the past Forza games. I'm finding with the seasons changing, especially Winter, that having my own tunes is a bigger benefit so I can tweak them as season/temps dictate. Mostly changing tires and adjusting tire pressure, but using downloaded tunes means they are locked even for simple things like tire pressure.

Racing different championships, different class levels, and trying to all around drive better keeps me coming back despite doing everything on the map.

i don't have the fast travel shit.. only fast travel i used was to jump to the horizon festival to do events on that side of the map when i was feeling lazy otherwise i just drive everywhere.. i can't get anymore fast travel/influence signs to spawn anymore and i only have 165 of them i think.

31h 20 minutes driving.. 2889 miles traveled so far.

Bonus boards are static, as far as I know. I just haven't taken the time to go too far off the beaten path to find them all, yet. I have 149 that have all been found from just completing races.

i don't touch the downloaded ones anymore, found to many bogus setups and then using their friends to 5 star rate them..
 
just started doing the rival stuff. this should keep me interested for a while and the credit earning isn't too bad if you get in a tough race and have to do a bunch of laps.
 
Hunted down and found the rest of the bonus boards last night. Took about 5-6 hours. They put some of them in very out of the way places. There is one in the north sandwiched in a corner of the mountain range about a mile away from the road, and one in the south in the farmland right next to the periphery of the map in a drainage ditch. I have a video in my feed from a week or so ago of the last 2 minutes of my 30 minute attempt at getting the 5,000 influence board at the airfield drag strip.

I used the Agera with dirt suspension and AWD conversion. I hit the ramp doing about 130 MPH and let off the accelerator around the midpoint of the ramp. I was doing about 121 MPH when I got airborne, but I think nosing the car down by letting off the accelerator on the ramp did the trick.
 
Once you get lined up for the ramp well use the rewind in the air if it looks like you won't make it and then adjust speed and angle according. Did the one at the airstrip and the dirt park that way. Took about 15m ish to do to 50 tries required lol

The one at Mudkickers was surprisingly more straight forward. The one time though I landed in between the pipes and couldn't get out. The board was literally an arm's reach out the car's window.
 
interesting bug with the senna.. once you hit 240mph the ass end of the car drops into the ground. although i've seen worse bugs.. hit a hill side at 230mph and flew through the ground so now all my telemetry stats are broke since i some how did a 25k ft jump and a top speed of 700mph.. :p

So, logged in and found my Nissan Titan that I fully upgraded was gone. Is that normal? Not a Forza veteran, but I got the ultimate edition. Pretty bummed my brodozer vanished (or need to download dlc again).

haven't had that happen but probably a good thing, the titan sucks, lol.. that thing rolls over easier than a dog.
 
make sure you guys check your xbox app notifications.. they gave a code for the mclaren senna yesterday for people that played the demo and just sent a codes for the mclaren 720s and a black jump suit.
 
I'm starting to dislike this weekly season rotation, trying to do some of these story events is impossible in the winter.

The drifting one was easy peasy. I did the whole thing this week. I also finished the last 8 chapters in stunt driving this week and can't say I had any issues with it.

Stunt driving I got through all 10 with 3 stars. The Testarrosa sucks in the snow though, can only one star the thing. Having only had the winter season thus far throughout the entire game, it's a pita trying to get through some of the stuff.

Need to figure out how chat works as well, right now I only have my 4 default responses and can't talk to anyone.

You can change your quick chat options from the pause menu. It's on the Home tab, bottom-left.

yeah the chat feature blows.. seriously needs to be revamped but since the games intended for all ages the way it is is the easiest fix.

as far as the seasons go i like it.. yeah some of the races and stuff are harder to do but you don't really have to wait that long til the season change happens to do them. fyi the story shit is super easy to cheat on because you don't actually have to follow the routes, lol.

Yeah, even if you change the 4 responses, you get to use whatever 4 you pick to try to communicate the entire time, that works well.
 
So I finally got to play some Spring, the Hot Hatch race with the Drivatars needing to be on unbeatable was fun. It did give me a chance to really fine tune an A800 setup for the A45 though.

it was ok.. but still too easy.. literally dive bomb them first corner pass the first 6.. go down the S's to the bridge dive bomb them again, instant first place.. the AI's super predictable on where and when they brake for the corners. the winter one was funny as hell though, the monster rally car series was literally impossible to lose because one of the tracks on the final corner all the AI cars flip over because the scripted race line is incorrect. so i just farmed that one til the season switch.
 
I always do handling upgrades before touching any power upgrades so that method doesn't work when you can't catch up to them in the first place. Had to back off on the cage and weight loss and add a little power to make it a race, especially on the point to point one with the long straightaway. The diff needed decel tuning as well to make the A45 more neutral.
 
New patch today fixed the "low streaming bandwidth" errors on high-spec PCs that were GPU limited. Also adds a new story with the Bentley 8-Litre as a reward and a route editor.

https://support.forzamotorsport.net...002034847-FH4-Release-Notes-October-23rd-2018

I noticed after the patch that on Unbeatable AI the top 1 or 2 Drivatars defy the game physics when it comes to braking and turning. It would be hilarious seeing it if it weren't so frustrating. Whoopie!
 
Well it looks like they finally patched the money glitch.

Im super excited for the route creator. Already have an epic rally course planned.

about damn time it's releasing.. they really need to rework the PVP part of the game, it's so poorly implemented that it destroys any replay-ability in the game. been trying for over a month to actually do a ranked race and no ones doing them.

Looks sick. Can't wait!

Yes, I fiddled with the demo a bit. I may pick it up, probably for my Xbox though. I've always enjoyed racing games better on the couch.
 
Just a FYI, The wheels update was them just adding the wheels they were missing from FM7. No new wheels were added to the franchise as far as i know.

From the patch notes:

So I wouldn't have expected anything different.
