Yes and my fiance made fun of me when she watched me play the demo as I would run head on into cars.

Hah, glad I'm not the only one.
And you're right, Playground didn't just craft great games, they rekindled my love for the genre.
Can't say I am enjoying any of these drift PR stunts. Seems to always be full of cars and considering it's difficult to get the 3 star score to start with, all the traffic is making it damn near impossible for me. Have tried many different ones and not completed a single one yet.
Some of the jump PR stunts are also insane, I can get the distance but cant stop cars from rolling mid air and failing. Im going to have to give up on these PR stunts for a while as they are really draining my enjoyment at the moment.
Everything else about this game so far is fantastic.

Yep, was having the issue in the demo, and I still haven't adjusted yet. In due time!

Potentially dumb question: I can delete the FH3 demo from my Xbox now, right? There was nothing tied to Forza Rewards or anything to unlock in the demo that carries over to the full game, correct?

Great racing with fellow gaffers tonight. Had an absolute blast, even though I was level shamed.
Shortt I'm totally down for some online around 7ish tomorrow if you're still around.
Right on, sounds good! Sorry I missed you guys today.
Is there any way to verify what codes have been redeemed on my account. I picked up my physical Ultimate Edition today and entered the code in the box for the Ultimate bundle as well as the two pre-order codes (Hellcat and GTB). The two pre-order cars show up in my install page and I can see them as purchased in the game, but none of the Ultimate bundle items are there. No VIP, no car pass, no car pack (not sure if this is even out yet).
The game is fantastic otherwise.

Lol if you're going nose up after every jump you can simply apply some braking before jumping to transfer your cars weight forward a bit to fix it. That is unless you actually prefer looking at the sky!
Has anyone had the issue where they redeemed ultimate edition content, but it didn't download in game? This is for the Xbox one version. I redeemed it on my PC and I see it in 'My Games' on XBL via my PC. I can't find it anywhere on my Xbox one. I went to the DLC in the store and it showed prices so it doesn't seem to recognize that I own it. No idea what to do. Sorry if this has been discussed already.

Can you edit your race blueprints?
I want to revert one of my events from rolling time to fixed.

Lol.. not sure why I didn't think of that. I'll try out
Just tested it. I redeemed my code on PC as well. Went to Xbox store found Horizon Ultimate and it had [Manage Game] button instead of the price and I went in and there were 4 things ready to install.

Nipicks/Suggestions:
* Roads should have names. Its been a pet peeve of the series for me from the beginning, but it would make me feel more at home, and better able to navigate the open world and share stories if roads and trails could be identified. Road signage is impossible to read while driving.
* Would be nice to see a layout of the race route when loading an event or creating a blueprint. You could at least take a mental note of the long straights and tight bends before the finish line.
* Give me a way to tell Anna to STFU. She's nice and helpful for those who want some direction, but for open world explorers like myself she's just annoying because I have to tell her NO all the time. I thought switching the HUD to minimap only, sans Anna, would help, but she still pipes in from time to time.
* PLEASE keep the music going when in the menus. Brings the rhythm to a standstill to go through options and perk selection in complete silence.
These are just nitpicks. This game is love and artistry and speed and joy and technical excellence.

Guts. Glory. RAM.
The Ram runner has evolved into the Ram Flyer.
My wife said we should vacation in Australia for New Years because of this game. Thanks Forza.

Just took six tries to get a podium finish in my last offroad event and the game is prodding me to raise the difficulty. Huh.
OK then.

My early nitpicks would be:
- It's not always easy to tell what small trees/shrubs/objects you can safely run over and which ones will stop you in your tracks. The previous Horizons made it pretty obvious, but I'm running into a lot more stuff. It may just be that this game simply has more landscape than the previous two.
- The checkpoint banners aren't nearly as noticeable as FH2's red smoke plumes. I get that having smoke plumes coming out of checkpoints that are partially submerged in water wouldn't work, though.
I don't even see the Warthog in ready to install, but I've redeemed the code.
In my FH3 Manage Game screen, I have ready to install items for the two pre-order cars I got from EB, but no VIP/Car Pass/Car Pack/Warthog.
Weird, doesn't work for me at all. Really frustrating.
Hah I'm Australian and I keep driving on the right-hand side of the road because I've been so used to it in Forza Horizon/2 etc...
After playing the FH3 demo a ton it took me ages to get used to driving on the right side of the road again when I started playing some FH1.

Man, I love the little trivia facts if you let the controller sit while looking at a car before getting in it. The Koenigseggs fact was pretty great - hearing about the fastest speeding ticket in US history at 242mph, 167mph over the limit was awesome.
look familiar
Looks like shit without HDR

Mentioned it earlier in the thread and glad it's been mentioned again, it's a really neat little feature. I'm not really a petrol head/car fan so having little nuggets of info about manufacturers, origins and trivia is really cool.

I did. Anna ignores that and still offers me routes to the nearest collectible, bounty, etc.

I know a lot has been said about the clouds, but HOLY MOLY!
I was unable to install it from my games and apps, but when I selected it, then hit the option for view in store, I was able to get it to install using the install button in the store. The warthog then showed up in my game. Don't know if that would help you.
Can anybody that bought the physical Ultimate Edition confirm that the Ultimate Addons pack (VIP Pass, Car Pass, etc) show up in Manage Game? I redeemed mine at about 2pm but it never downloaded. When I contacted chat (which took over an hour), I got:
I tried to send them the Xbox Wire article on the early release, etc but it went nowhere.
I think that's nonsense, hoping somebody can confirm. Thanks!

Same here.
That is fantastic haha
Hmm, agreed it's nonsense and it's the same thing for me. Code is redeemed but doesn't appear anywhere. I guess I'll hold off any more wheel spins until it is resolved.
I installed the game on my "Home" Xbox One (which is in the basement where the kids play normally) and it did show my Warthog so that seems to work now at least.

Anyone having issues downloading new skins right now?
I was getting an error message saying the servers were down when trying to look at the auction house a little while ago.

Any PC players figured out how to get the warthog? I redeemed the code a few days back but it's not in game? All my VIP and PreOrder cards were there under dlc. I don't have my Xbox One anymore to try that route either sadly.
