This covers all the easy to miss roads in FH3

Well that's annoying. I can't seem to defrag the game files.

defragging hasn't really been relevant for years
POTW?, it's clearly off road and only I could manage to park my car on the side of a house

do you have to come first for street races to count as complete?
I love the experience that long races give, but after my game crashed 20 laps in, I don't think I'll be doing anymore for a while.
Sprint's > circuits any day.
Wait i can buy Forza Horizon 3 with Credits?

How do i do this?[/QUOTE]No? You can't as far as I know. Forza Rewards gives you credits that's all.
On another note, apparently there's a Forzathon achievement thingy called #Forzathon Initial Drift King which is to score 35,000 points in a drift zone with the AE86/Trueno to win the Nissan Silvia S14. THE S14 MATES. Ends 15/10/2016 so I assume after tomorrow or in 2 days it should be available.

No you've been sent 25,000 credits in Forza Horizon 3
Ty for letting me know about this I just got 100k (this is on the forza hub app on windows store for anyone that doesn't have it)
Ah. I knew it was too good to be true.
Think twice before challenging highway patrol to a drift comp!

I was curious at what point do unlock the ability to find Barn Finds,
because I've already finished all the showcases, Midnight events , Pr Stunts and Bonus Boards.

wait what
Do the big purple circles just not show up in your map or something?
Haven't got a single one yet
Your games fucked then, you should have had Warren bitching at you constantly about them.

wait I never played forza, all these decals must be made of primitives?
[QUOTE=suXin;51170447]wait I never played forza, all these decals must be made of primitives?[/QUOTE]
yep.
Eh. I'm done with H3.
The AI cheat SOO fucking much. I can understand when I'm against a car that makes sense that could realistically beat me. But how an "Upgraded" 3000lb+ 1980's muscle car can outturn, outrun, outbrake and out accelerate me from a corner whilst I'm driving an 800bhp Ariel Atom...yeah no. To even keep up with me that thing would need to be at-least 1000hp+, the torque alone would stop it from being able to fully accelerate out a turn without snapping itself around. You'd have the feather the fuck outta that to get it out.
I don't mind AI getting a slight advantage, but when even on "Above Average" setting they get some monstrous advantages that soak the fun out of the game for me. Beating them is still fine, but to see them physically not have to confide to the physics the player is forced too and getting MONSTROUS speedboosts at random, I can't bring myself to play anymore. Between that and them being a bunch of retarded bumper car derby racers. I regret my purchase now.

And yes I know the AI need "Cheats" to compete with human players most of the time, but there is a difference between sly and well done advantage to AI and just straight out mind boggling unrealistic cheats.
no idea what you're talking about, I'm bad at racing and play on above average, TCS off, no rewinding, manual, etc, and win most races fine & I rarely play racing games
[editline]8th October 2016[/editline]
like, maybe the drivatar just has a very well tuned op vehicle for that race

i need to get enkei 92 for this car, and change the spoiler if there's a better one
overall, i'm in love

I'm playing with all assists off etc. I can understand a fully upgraded Muscle car with 1000+horsepower and massive thick tyres to be able to put taht power down and out drag me sure.
But to be able to turn in, brake later and exit faster than my car that weighs maybe 3/4ths less or so, has less torque, etc. No. Sorry but there is no way in hell say an old 1970 Dodge charger boasting 3000+lb's of curb weight, 1000bhp and 800+ ftlb of torque can brake later, turn in easier and then accelerate full pelt out of a 90 degree turn faster than my ariel atom, of which is also set up specifically for downforce and cornering. Outdrag it? Sure. Launch faster if it has massive radials sure. Eventually pass on long enough straights sure.
But to enter into a 90 degree turn, brake in half the distance to meet the apex, keep a cleaner line whilst going faster through the turn than me, and then able to apply full throttle to exit said turn whilst still mid turn in itself no. A car that heavy, with that much torque will not stop faster, turn as if it has no inertia, and then able to apply ample throttle mid turn and not even slip of a wheel.
F6 was okay for the little advantanges the AI got and I was able to play that on Pro/Unbeatable and keep close racing on simulation settings. But for some reason the AI in H3 just seem to not abide to the physics we have to anywhere close to as bad as we do.
Like I said. I'm happy for AI Advantage. To make racing closer and more intense, but there is a point where you just scream bullshit at it. And for me seeing that sort of drains the fun for me.

It also depends on the vehicle class, above average on anything below S1 are ok, S1 they get sketchy while S2 and X, they cheat, blatantly and it gets even worse when you up the skill level of them, unbeatable is pretty much the AI 100% cheating, skipping checkpoints, getting instant acceleration and so on but the problem is that this behavior tickles down into the other difficulties depending on vehicle class, it makes the game not fun at times. I had to stop using expert because they were constantly cheating to beat me and it wasn't fun.
I'm running S2 and X class. My Ariel is X class, the muscle cars in Question were S2. Hell my maxed out Shelby GT350 was outturned, out braked, and outcornered by a fucking SUV going twice the speed of me into the turn...

Yeah I recommend using something that's S1, the AI is nowhere near as retarded.
I think the problem is that its hard to have the AI learn from S2 and X class drivers because most just either make cars for straight line speed and go around the courses by smashing into everything (seen this first hand online) or they don't bother making S2 and X cars meaning there's little there for the drivatars to pool in, so they fall back onto the defaults which is basically cheese it. The drivatar learning is more learning faults than it is improving their driving, they drive perfectly on a blank slate.
