How does the upcoming DLC Blizzard Mountain expansion work in regards to downloading and whatnot? Is it included in the updates that seemingly download every week or so? Or is it a separate download upon release? Can you buy it separately from the season pass, etc?
I haven't given the main game it's due simply because of my addictive nature towards Destiny and The Division even though FH3 was looking like my most anticipated title of the Fall/Winter.
The snowy atmosphere of this expansion has certainly gotten my attention.

Actually I found if you upgraded to like 876 PI is perfect to amount to have the Ford GT350R '16 PO to pop up.
sorry I didn't know that, I have the car photographed without trying so...
I think it was Gamestop

I wish that there was an option where the transmission defaults to manual when racing and then back to automatic when in free roam. Reversing is a pain in the ass when in manual and I reverse a lot when exploring.

I wonder if there will be a studded tire option? I got the Expansion Season Pass this afternoon, I wonder if the other expansion is the Porsche one?
At least its not raining, who knew that in Australia they had so much rain, it seems to rain everyday in Forzaville!
/s
I believe there will be snow tires as a new upgrade for all vehicles in the game. Whether they'll have actual studs on this is unclear at this point

damn i spent all my moolah on the fxx k. i don't like it all at all. apparently it has a great launch but you gotta feather it until you hit third gear. would it be better if i used manual?
Like most hypercars in the game, either very gentle throttle control or TCS on is the only way to drive them reasonably.
use a 4WD tuned race car for the zones, supercars/tuned race car/jag F-type for the speed traps, depending on location
It's one of the better 2WD supercars stock without TCS, ironically. But yes, TCS is all but needed for most of the supercars due to way too much power for the wheels to take in low gears.

Go into Private Online Freeroam to attempt any PR stunt that has far too many Drivatars show up. You'll have a much easier time just dealing with the standard AI traffic.

I need to remember this, I got the same tip from a friend recently and forgot about it!

I would love this. I usually drive with most assists off (I think ABS is all I use?), but some cars clearly weren't designed for that.
"There will be Snow tires for every car in the game.
You could also put normal tires on, if you want it more slippery"
From the Forza Race Championship stream yesterday.
Full Trailer comes on Tuesday.
And also the granularity of adjustment that those factory option offer, they make a huge difference in AC.
I want the slipperiest tires imaginable. The most slippery tires you can have is the kind of tires that I want.
I want this because of reasons.

The problem with Forza is they still view using driving aids as something we should be penalised for.
But cars today are a combination of their hardware and software. Many hypercars can only exist, can only allow mortals to put 1000bhp onto the tarmac, because of that software.
So we shouldn't lose points for using what is integral to the car.

Agreed. There should be a "factory" assist setting but there isn't for some reason.
Some car can also be faster with assists than without , but yeah, the notion that (some) assists are just for noobs needs to be rid off.
Are they penalizing drivers for using aids? Or are they giving a bonus to drivers who choose to turn off aids even if those cars use them IRL?
Just seems like a glass-half-empty way to look at it.
Been saying this for years.

yup, this has been a big gripe for me...or at the very least, being able to set your assists to the car, not globally.
So my B Class WRX, no assists...but on a specc'd up Ferrari the NEEDS TCS assists, let me set it so that car has it enabled as part of the tune. It's annoying to bury it in game control settings
So you can plow into Soundsceam easier.
Yeah its weird. but they did the same thing for Storm Island. So i guess they have some reason.

No doubt there will be technical problems tomorrow. T10 can't seem to release a major piece of DLC without some kind of mess.
But this is Playground games
The AI have less realistic physics that give better cornering grip, as for the grid the AI is most likely using 4WD tunes that would give better low speed acceleration and launch.
it's a bonus if you don't use it, regardless if the car had TCS/ABS on it or not. It wouldn't matter much when even the silly limit was at 1000 HP, but with 1500 HP being the limit something needs to be changed.

Okay Mr Pedantic. Microsoft, Turn 10 and Playground games.
Was there a major hang-up with the Storm Island expansion?
Some people weren't able to trigger the fast travel point iirc but it wasn't a huge deal and was fixed very quickly for most.

I think DLC releases haven been pretty smooth overall. That said, I do remember the issue with Storm Island where people couldn't get to the island from the map.
Anyway, really looking forward to this but probably won't have much time this week. :/

The Gurkha was added to the game for the sole purpose of ruining your races.

Yes. And the PC download of Horizon 3 didn't go well for many. And issues with folks and VIP/preorder cars. The list goes on.
Was I unreasonable to have hoped for a more specific answer? I knew about some random fringe stuff (along the lines of the other points your bring up) but I played it and was engaged with the community around the same time and didn't know about anything. Which isn't to say those issues don't matter, but I feel like we're talking about different scopes of problems.
Either way, it's easy enough to wait a few days and listen for issues if there's real concern.
WOAH ! how?
Microsoft did a survey study for watching the Forza Championships yesterday and if you completed the survey they sent the code out. It was limited to 75 people though.
