Got 1M from Forza hub rewards. Spending it all on spins. I don't even care.

I probably spent 1 mil over the weekend on spins. I have a bunch of money sitting around and I don't really have that many cars I want to purchase at the moment so I kept spinning. I picked up a few HE cars so I'm not even mad I did it.

Thats right, the Crown Vic actually has a light bar.

My drivatar lineup is the same now as it was on day 1. I stopped keeping count but I think I'm at around 20 in a row that I've had to reject due to them being really low levels.

Is there any way to force the game to give you half decent players for your lineup?

Is there any way to see how many downloads you have for a design or layer group?

In other forzas they tell you how many people have downloaded or used a specific design or layer group, but I am only able to see a total number of downloads in FH3.

Apparently one of my designs was downloaded 500 times last night, and I would like to know which one it was.

Go to My Designs in the Garage>Designs and paints tab at the autoshow.

It will show all your current designs and how many downloads, uses and likes.

Anyone know the expected release date? That's an awesome looking bunch of cars, and the Crown Vic is going to be awesome.

I am so confused how championships are handled in the game, I can't seem to get any to unlock. I am at level 31 and only been in 2 championships. I have filtered map and there are no active championships.

You create enough event blueprints in that area (around one set festival center), then you unlock the ability to create championship blueprints.
 
Available now it seems just spotted the cars on the marketplace.

The DLC drops as soon as the trailer is released, but the cars are actually contained in the update which doesn't go live until 6PM GMT. The DLC on the store is just an unlocker kind of thing.
 
Hopefully the update fixes the crash I was having last night. Haven't had any real problems on PC besides having to lock it to 30 and then during the last race of a championship the game crashes. Now it keeps crashing on the same turn so I can't finish the championship.
 
Yeah, those are some nice cars in the first pack already.
Either you read mine wrong, or I'm reading yours wrong.
I meant that - after buying FH2 and FM6 Ultimate Editions - seeing the first car pack's content, I'm pretty sure that none of these would really improve my experience in a way that would justify the purchase and I'm sitting here with a big smile for having stayed strong and not having given in to buying the Ultimate Edition. Might have been different with better FFB that makes the cars feel as different as in real life.

There's a perk that lets you buy spins for 50,000 each.
Is there still this sentiment that bought spins have higher chances of getting HE-cars?

I'm 99.9% sure it doesn't change your chances at all. The only thing that might feel like a better chance is when you're constantly buying them. In that case you're only "more likely" just because of the sheer odds of it.

I made solid progress yesterday, did a bunch of races, the showcase event with the
fighter jet
and expanded festivals 4 or 5 times. Still having a blast with the game and thankful it runs mostly ok on my PC.

So I need to generate the championships myself? The stats area lists 63 championships. I assumed the game would present these championships to me at some point through level progression...I have only been offered 2.

Heh, you are right, I actually missed the "not" for whatever reason. I am looking forward to some of these cars. So I feel good about my purchase.

I've gotten more as I've leveled up festivals. I have two maxed at level 5 and the other two I think are at level 3 and level 2.

No, as above more of the game generated championships should unlock as you expand festival sites. The Blueprint stuff is all optional.

HE cars pop in spins at random times? I think I've never seen any.

I have had three HE cars show up that I could win, but I have not won one yet, imo it's a scam there are people selling HE cars for huge amounts, so they must have a spare one to sell, and yet there are loads of people that are at pretty high levels who have not yet 'won' one on a spin.

They should have been either available to buy as DLC to anyone or at least to UE owners they get to pick one of the HE cars from the start, if it really is random then some people will never win one.


Just seen the message flash up in the game that [GAF] club is full!

I am in the club but it says that people that are not on the 'spreadsheet' will be removed first! where is this spreadsheet?

Only the first car pack and they are starting with a banger. Great stuff. Will be making an OPP highway cruiser livery for the Crown Vic. Great stuff.

Anybody have any tips for the Bucket List #3 challenge where you have to drift in a parking lot with a Nissan? I can't pass this challenge at all. I'm lucky if I can get 5 drifts before the timer ends. I feel like I'm doing something totally wrong.

What assists do you have on? Make sure traction control and stability are both turned off.

If I'm not mistaken, I finished this one on launch day; you don't need to stay in the parking lot for this challenge. Leaving that parking lot immediately will help!
