Yeah, I'd be double screwed if that's so, although I only use afterburner for ocing
Agreed
People must have been really saturated with HE cars because I'm still seeing the previous released models going for 200K-300K. Snagged a Focus RS HE for 300K with no other bids placed on it.
Up to 4 HE cars total and barely into the game. Travel schedule has been insane and I haven't been able to really bite into the game as much as I would have liked at this point. Haven't been able to do any of the Forzathon events as of yet either.
The amount of content is pretty daunting at times. I take a look at the map and see a flood of icons and end up just driving doing stunts and racking up skill points instead of doing events. Anyone else have that issue?

Very much had this issue. I would often use the map filter to narrow down the events I wanted to do at the time. That way the map wouldn't look like a Assassin's Creed map.
One nice filter option was to just show current championship. Used that one a bunch.

Damn, I've only seen one HE so far and it's the 1997 BMW M3. I keep getting like 5,000 CR from the wheel spins and shit.

Look to make sure your cheevo isn't 100% but still locked.
Happened to me with a #Forzathon cheevo. Good news is when it finally popped, I got my prize.
Helios helped me out and I'm unbanned now. I'm glad to be back but can't help but feel like their system is really messed up if they're automatically banning people for who know's what and the only recourse is trying to get in touch with a community manager (no official appeals process/support).
Awesome that Helios stepped in though.
Could really suck for people that don't have access to him.

Good to hear that the ban was baseless and they reversed it. All of your content is available again? If so, I'll download and rate that great-looking Rick and Morty paint job. I don't know that I'll ever drive that van, or drive any similar vehicle in the game, but I'll enjoy having it in my collection (and then have it wind up being invisible and not loading when scrolling through my cars, like so many of the other customs I have are).
It might be. I only had time this morning to check the AH screen to see if I could access auctions. I'll check my designs and reshare if necessary.
I've had this happen to me. The only way I found to fix it is to load the car up go to garage and change something visual on it. Paint colour for example. Back out and save to car. That brings the pic back in my garage. After that, just reapply the custom vinyl. Had the bug happen to me when I was loading tunes outside of the festivals and my tires were missing.
Bucket List #23 (forge your own path) is one of the most fun and challenging things I've ever done in a video game. You could build a whole game around more challenges like that.
How do you even do races at car meets? All I can do is switch between viewing cars and a user list.
The meets are kind of a broken part of an otherwise awesome game.

I still cant beat that bucket list challenge. It was fun to keep trying though.
for those having achievements not pop like me and the beauty spot one. it's happening to a few on the forza message board http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/turn10_postsm600530_Achievements-Not-Unlocking.aspx the person who created the topic still hasn't had his achievements pop yet from over 21 days ago.

I haven't beat it yet but I've decided that a straight shot to the city through the forests a dish array is NOT going to win it for me. I've had great runs straight through those areas and avoided obstacles or rewound so I could get through them better, but I always hit the same spot when time runs out.
I drove down the train tracks for a decent distance on my successful run. Trying a direct route through all the trees didn't work for me either.
Route that worked for me...
The fastest time on the global leaderboard is 2:16. I really want to see how that was accomplished.
Start off heading straight toward the city. You want to cross the river with the dishes ahead on your left. Take the dirt road that runs along the RIGHT side of the dishes. Cut across from the dirt road to the highway at a point where they're parallel so you don't have to slow down. Then you switch to the train tracks for a bit, then back to the highway before that large roundabout. Cut straight through the middle of the roundabout, then follow the blue line to the end. When you get to that super sharp turn near the end you can shortcut it a little bit but be careful because you lose a lot of speed and it's easy to get hung up on objects.

You can adjust the difficulty settings. You can put traction control and stability controls on so that you'll have more control. also tuning your car helps make it more stable.
Got hit by the train maybe? Does it travel that direction? Seems impossible.
Can any of these be done in the demo ?

The train only goes 87/88mph so probably not. I have seen a glitch where it catapults you to 400mph so maybe but still unlikely to happen during that challenge in particular.
yes actually. I've played the demo and I was able to make the S15 more stiffer and able to decrease the tire pressure. You can also still adjust the difficulty settings with the traction control and stability control in the demo.
Not as insane as your platinum on the GAF club!
Thanks, I'll have a go !

Unlocked the car meet 'P' finally ...
Then proceeded to follow advice on the last page and bought a Caterham and tuned it with the 'Petran' download, proceeded to win first attempt at the drag race against 6 others. (thought I'd have to try numerous times against cheesers/trolls)
Backed out of the car meet and my new Forzathon car was in my garage already, thanks for the tips guys - was painless after all.
I am collecting in this game and not tuning anything - just stock collection, with the Caterham I am tempted to sell as it's not stock and I sunk 100k into parts - I take it there is no way to sell parts, you just have to auction the whole car ?
Also seeing as I am trying to collect one of everything in stock condition, I don't have a clue about selling at auction ... It appears the most I can put the tuned Caterham up for is around what it has cost me all in but some others have them up for nearly 700k ?
What am I missing here - special paints blasting prices ?
Thanks
P.S.
I'm level '26' playing with rewind off from the start and I have a measly 1.5m CR, some of you guys XP level is insane and one guy with 105m CR !?!?!
Haha what the hell !
It opened after I done the speedboats showcase.

Thanks Petran. Was able to win my very first drag race by 3 seconds with the tune
I got really caught up trying to compete with people on GAF tier list the 2nd week. Ran figure 8 and goliath on way too many laps way too many times lol

Did you share that tune or is it someone else's? I was amazed by that thing.
I just shared it a few minutes ago along with my livery. I have no idea how I actually made a decent tune xD
It makes the unbeatable drivatars pretty easy in D class. I named it "Offroad"
That car was amazing. Buying one when I get on tomorrow. Wish I had a better car for the final race. But still good times tonight.
Yeah the Viper was not an ideal car for that race.That car was amazing. Buying one when I get on tomorrow. Wish I had a better car for the final race. But still good times tonight.

After over 10 hours playing, I finally unlocked clubs. Just applied to be in the GAF club on the doc! It looks like it's almost full from the in-game counter, though. I haven't even gotten to the online portion at all because I'm getting flooded with more events than I can handle.
After the final showcase, I am starting to feel a little malaise, there is a bit of a lack of direction, especially with a map that is literally stuffed to the gunnels with icons.
Interested in hearing other peoples "workflow" with the game once the showcases and festivals are updated.
It's all very well having a large amount of content, but it (at least to me) becomes a bit "rabbit in the headlights" when faced with a map full of icons, and no direction from the game.

The goal becomes car collection and messing around with said cars, for me at least. If you're not into that then the game is probably over for you.

Well unfortunately that's the whole theme of this game. You get to decide everything. I prefer to be told what to do (or pointed in some direction) and that's why I don't enjoy "endgame" in FH3 as much as I did in FH2.
I like the fact that you can choose the cars and tracks in the actual races, but just wished there was a little more of a pathway in the end game content, the icons on the map are just mind boggling and I just sit there thinking, what now!.
To be fair, they were all 48-hour bans. It was still excessive (why not just remove them and send an in-game message indicating that I managed to download a hacked tune or a livery with too much anime tiddy for their taste), but it's one of those things where it would resolve itself before complaining to anyone would get anywhere.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of how wide-open the game is. I've been going through the remaining championships now and to be honest, it feels like a bit of a slog, especially since any real sense of progression has gone right out the window. (That and at some point, most of my remaining events will be in Surfer's Paradise, and as I am playing on the PC version I am not looking forward to that.)
I think the original Forza Horizon had the best mix of fixed progression and open-ended options -- there were series to progress through with car and class requirements, but you still had a lot of options in regards to how you actually went through and played the game. I also ended up 100%ing that game in the end minus the 1000 club achievements (which turned out to be really boring with no other objectives to go for with them).
