there are exploits already that use the willis to farm money/wheelspins and then another that uses the sesto FE to afk goliath. i'm linking here if you want, but if i wouldn't recommend doing any of this you are just robbing yourself

barrel roll blueprint exploit, recommends willis to get super wheelspins and XP

Is it wrong I find it better to drive with keyboard than a controller?

The sheer number of ads for this I am seeing on twitch guarantees I will never play this. How fucking stupid do you have to be to pay to advertise on a platform that uses those ads to annoy people into paying not to see them anymore? I just don't get it.

whoa. The problem is that keys are just all or nothing, there is very little hold the key half way so it can make stuff harder sometimes.

Forza Horizon games always a bit finicky with a wheel.

Even when I finally got my old Driving Force Pro (PS 2 era) wheel settings down I still only used it mostly for the fastest cars, but wasn't necessary for slower cars and controller was always better off-road anyhow.

Got a new Thrustmaster wheel this year, which was easier to get settings right, but still used a controller most A and lower cars.

For better or worse Forza Horizon is designed to be functional with a controller even for people who suck at stick control like I do.

Seeing people say 5 is much more friendly for racing wheels, and hope that is true.

I feel like the deadzone settings on the controllers are HUGE, and so when driving I feel like I just am full left/right to go around turns. There are no subtle movements because it goes from not moving at all to moving all the way due to the huge deadzone. Maybe this is wrong and just the way I'm feeling it? Kinda sucks.

Has anyone successfully completed the season championship? I've beaten it twice now, once with an Audi RS6 Avant (A800) and again just a few minutes ago with a non-Welcome Pack Porsche Taycan Turbo S (A799). Came in first all three races both times, but no credit for the season and no AMG reward.

I was just reading this has 800k players before the "normal" launch already, insane

i beat it and got the reward, you have to use a Super Saloon vehicle not sure if those 2 cars are super saloons. Thats one weird thing about the seasonal championships, they require very specific cars but still let you run them with any car, but it won't count.

Should be advanced settings for that (at least was in other versions). Turn dead zone to zero helped me a lot. And steering linearity can change behavior to better match your preferred feel, might turn it up if you want more wheel turn with less stick movement (I prefer the opposite it anything).

Also for touchy cars instead of straight left-right movements, using the stick from the forward position made subtle movements easier but was tiring.

Also, try out differences between normal and simulation steering setting. Simulation with controller was always wonky to me.

Holy shit, must have crashed into an ugly stick in the jungle because these avatards are uggos. Every one has derpy eyes. Why do they mess up the dumbest shit.

Game crashes like crazy.

Also, is a pronoun really fucking necessary for a racing game and what is with all these new games having unskippable cutscenes? I just want to drive the fucking cars.

Cut-scenes are the new loading screens.

I’d rather look at a loading screen.

Yeah, almost every Audi is a Super Saloon, as are the Porsche Taycan Turbo S and Panamera. What car did you use?

It's one game my autistic son will regularly play

Uh, new Microsoft isn't pushy Woke, but they are letting you be as Two-Spirit Robot Arm Blonde Afro Point of Privilege Woke as you want.

BTW, I bought 3 copies for me and my kids, haven't been able to see each other since the first day all sitting in the same room but its a mega ton of fun. FH4 was a super jam and even my autistic son loves to drive in this game. Its one of the few games he will still play and just Freeroaming is fun as fuck. I don't enjoy driving games and still find myself driving for hours. WTH. A-mazing. I have got to figure out tuning as well.

I am super jealous of Spronk's app wall of FH.

Funny thing is people already triggered on Reddit because they picked they/them and the game misgendered them minutes later as a she.

So, maybe not woke, but epic troll.
