Some three stars are just insultingly easy while the ones that require you to drive out of your comfort zone can be quite hard.

How does one get the Focus RS RX? Not seeing it in my cars or in the store.
go to the all DLC car menu in the autoshow and it will be there (although I think that's a glitch, might be a prize car)

The 8 sideswipe event is just crazy hard lmao.

Man I love this expansion!
This is easily the best racing franchise in my opinion. Will play a bit each night but wont be able to sink some good time into it until the weekend likely. The blizzards are incredible!

Holy balls Blizzard Mountain is good. I think Forza Horizon just peaked.
GET IT?

Latest update has made the PC performance much better for me.
It still drops down to 40fps at random times for no good reason, but now it seems to sit around 65 instead of 45 like it did at launch, and I had no juddering like I did at launch in the 20 minutes I played tonight.
Don't think I'll get the expansion pass at $20 though, maybe one day if the price comes down some more, or knowing me I'll grab it sometime in January after playing like 20 hours one week

Hey all, just FYI, if you are like me and just bought the full game and/or haven't progressed much at all in the game, you won't be able to access the expansion until you progress far enough to unlock the whole airport area.
Just thought I'd mention it, as I didnt see any mention of that yet, and finally found the into on Kotaku.

Is there an easier way to put snow tires on all your cars instead of having to keep going back to the festival?
I just bought a car for an event and it just put me in the race right away without letting me put them on. I had to quit the event and drive back and forth. Huge waste of time if you have to keep doing it.

Appreciate that! I'm really early in the game... But love snow related ANYTHING. Good to know regarding when it becomes available.
S1 modified BMW X6M with 830HP is a beast on Blizzard Mountain!
It's 24.99 for Ultimate Edition owners and $34.99 otherwise for this and a future expansion.
Where the fuck are you seeing it for $52?

Pretty ridiculous how fun this is and how good this looks
What's more is the expansion pass was 25 bucks USD compared to my other not so smart season passes that cost 20-30 which returned garbage or basically nothing at all. Plus there's one more expansion included.

Great tip, thanks. I'm getting this and an XB1 for Christmas, so I'll have to unlock the airport area first thing! Any idea how long it will take?

So here's my take on Blizzard Mountain after playing the game for little over 3 hours:
- The map is small, but it's, hm, cute? Even after I've discovered all roads and beauty spots I've found myself going downhill or sliding on the lake just for fun.
- The blizzard effects are superb, no way is it possible to be competetive from the cockpit view.
- The new car selection is really poor. When you visit the car dealership you'll notice that the Subaru and both Lancia's are pretty much like HE versions of the existing cars. The other ones are better and the barn find so far is my favorite.
- I love the idea of having objectives, the game now plays like Driveclub. If only they were more a little bit more creative (and harder,but I guess that's still yet to come for me).

Agreed. That is how you start a game/dlc!

I have never loved my S1 Bowler more than I do on the Mountain, and it was already my go-to car for skills and cross-country races.
You can unlock it at the very beginning, you just have to choose the outback as your first festival location
Happened to me, restarting the game fixed it.

You're welcome, except now I'm kinda doubting my recollection. Anyone remember whether Byron Bay has to be first and you only get to choose the location for the following festivals?
Yeah same. Well the game is still drop dead gorgeous that's for sure.

God yes. That introductory race where you get airdropped in and can see the entire valley spread out below you...
Also I will mention it again, but those night blizzard races when you pass pools of light in the darkness, wow...
What's the general opinion on the barn find? Haven't had a chance to put it through its paces yet.
Guys help me out. I have never played any of the horizon games. I'm also terrible at racing games or rather anything that remotely resembles a simulator so regular forza is out of the question for me.
My problem is I keep seeing gorgeous screenshots of this game and seeing as how the price is reasonable, I'm thinking I might like to give it a shot but am I going to enjoy it is the question? Also how bad will I be without a wheel or is that not a thing anymore! Thanks guys

If you've played an arcade style racing game, and enjoyed it, you'll like FH3, the handling is really refined and doesn't have the nuances of a simulator driving model (that isn't a slight against FH3, it's a praise), you can hold lurid slides all day long, and it's one of those driving models that just makes you smile.
You do not need a wheel at all to have fun.
I'm sure can choose 1 of 2 options once Bryon Bay is upgraded enough once as I remember thinking "what if you only get to do 1 and not the other" pretty sure outback or Surfers are options for first expansion outside of the starting festival.

So is this set in Australia still?
yep, you get taken from the airport to Blizzard Mountain which is sort of in the background, the opening scene is brilliant!

If you don't like sims I can't see how you wouldn't enjoy this game. So fun.
Lol, that's a convoluted way of saying it!

I play exclusively with controller. On Xbox One I play on medium assist/difficulty, on PC with way higher FPS I can manage more challenging settings.

OMG! Played Blizzard Mountain for a bit this morning.
I know it will sound like massive hyperbole, but I think I like it even better that the main game.
It reminds me a lot of Forza Horizon 1 - my favorite.
Love it.
LOVE IT!
EDIT: My treasure map does not seem to apply to the expansion :/

There are only 25 bounty boards and 5 beauty spots. I've found all spots (the Frozen Lake spot was the hardest to find), still missing 5 boards, but maybe I'll uncover them simply by participating in events.

Open a festival in the Outback the first chance you get.
And I'll repeat what I said earlier there is traffic on Storm Island, plenty of it, all over the island.
