Can you control the angle of your car in a jump

Forza Horizon Legacy Horizon FH4 Discussion

I am having a terrible time beating a Cross Country race where I do fine the first run around the track but after a landing from a huge jump I can never seem to get the top speed back to match the competition. I noticed when the other cars in the series made the large jump in the middle of the race, they landed flat, while I seem to be landing nose first into the ground, losing both speed and causing damage to the car.

Is there a reason I am nose diving this race while the AI opposition seem to be making the jump flat and landing level? is there a way to actually control the pitch or angle of your jump. I am just getting irritated that I am killing it until this jump. I even switched to a manual transmission to see if that made a difference, and still I had issues with power after that jump due to inherent damage to the vehicle that was not showing on other vehicles.

I would appreciate and help.

I don’t think there is a way to control the jump while you are flying but if I remember correctly in previous horizon games you could move the power balance all the way forwards or rearwards and for some reason it would tilt the car in that direction as you jumped. Also I don’t reccomend racing with damage on against the AI as they are indestructible. You could also do extensive fiddling with the suspension of your car to allow it to jump and land as flat as possible.
