my final lap for the weekly challenge (1:45:165) [url]https://streamable.com/5rxux[/url] can definitely do better as I've done laps where I'm say .300 up but then screw it up in a different corner. hardest part of the track for me was the middle section called acque minerali. incredibly hard to set up for that uphill corner

My hiace is coming along nicely, I'm upto chapter40 so it has 700hp with the settings for power, won a couple of 3/4 player races

A couple of times i raced guest but only if i left Vs on, my favourite course is the mountain ones you can be competitive against people who have more tuning on those

[QUOTE=waylander;51958157]A couple of times i raced guest but only if i left Vs on, my favourite course is the mountain ones you can be competitive against people who have more tuning on those[/QUOTE] which one? hakone or taikan? i'm never fond of mountain tracks in this game, but hakone grows on me, still unfamiliar with taikan however [editline]14th March 2017[/editline] mind you, you can't just attack every course in this game with 830HP, so you have to set your car for handling on some of them (this screen will always show up before the race)

Hakone but i like both, i just got crushed by a little kid 3 times in a row. It's kinds annoying that the attendants let you use there pass if you ask but he was good anyway

My absolute favorite tracks are Abu Dhabi, Barcelona, Silverstone, Circuit d' Americas, and the ring.

Is there a reason to stop at 59 and not complete the story?

[QUOTE=waylander;51962657]Is there a reason to stop at 59 and not complete the story?[/QUOTE] aside from wanting to vs someone quick, no if you have plenty of time, just finish it

I suck, at least it's fun [video=youtube;XsCvLpTfHXU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsCvLpTfHXU[/video]

I'm starting to get really pissed off at how lazy the devs of horizon 3 are when it comes to certain cars and applying paintjobs. I really wanna make a nice looking paintjob for the rx7 but that is completely impossible unless you put its visual parts to stock or the wide bodykit because the other visual options have something wrong with the way paintjob shapes are put onto them in one way or another. And so many cars have problems like that, it's getting ridiculously frustrating.

Seems like all the wide bodies have some weird unwrapping done to them as far as the decals and shit go, it's pretty frustrating. I can't even do two-tone on the E36 properly.

The 60's Renault Alpine and PS VR are a god-like combo in Dirt Rally; I'm consistently beating that Oosthuizen prick by about 20 seconds on each stage, rather than him always beating me by 20 seconds on each stage. The Lancia and Mini are absolute shit compared to it, in terms of handling, gearing and power/weight ratio. And PS VR is great for getting a better feel of the road.

Some even appear under the wrong maker, eg the 'Ford Falcon GT F' is actually an FPV. I don't see why they couldn't just do something like *model year* *make* *model* *trim*, eg '15 Ford Falcon XR8, '16 Cadillac ATS-V, and so on. [editline]18th March 2017[/editline] One thing I hope they do in Forza 7 is being able to ballast your car or install an air restrictor. It's so frustrating as someone like myself who wants to keep cars as original as possible, but because the performance rating is eg 711, you have to take it all the way up to 800 for it to be competitive rather than down to 700 (unless changing the gearbox or wheels, upgrading the cooling and installing a roll cage can reduce it by enough).

Playground Games has finally let you put a helmet on your character in Forza Horizon 3 [t]https://forzamotorsport.net/Handlers/GetPhoto.ashx?game=fh3&id=26164231&full=true[/t] It may be painful for your character, though [editline]24th March 2017[/editline] Unrelated, but I really hated the ugly green on the Mercedes-AMG GT R, so I tried my best at imitating the typical Iridium Silver colour available on most Mercs. I like what I've made more so than the actual colour: [t]https://forzamotorsport.net/Handlers/GetPhoto.ashx?game=fh3&id=25515257&full=true[/t] [t]https://forzamotorsport.net/Handlers/GetPhoto.ashx?game=fh3&id=26155945&full=true[/t]

Never ever

Closest one is in fucking Georgia...

How does the FH3 demo work on PC? Is it a slice of the full game like i expect? I also heard mentions that the beta has some multiplayer functionability. And is it possible to play with people who own the full game in that case?
