The lanterns for the photo challenge this week are next to the tower.



There’s also, as usual, a waving cat. But there are so many at the airfield I had a hard time to find the right one. :grin:

lol, yeah, this ! I actually saw the cat on the runway last night and thought " That’s odd, I wonder if the lanterns are here (right on the runway) tomorrow ? " I’d forgotten about the collectibles so of course there are a bunch of cats in the area :slight_smile:

Thanks for saving me the hunting :+1:

Does Horizon Tour run on Eliminator rules now? We started with only five players, one dropped out in the middle of the first race, and we lost a player each time on the travelling sections so that only two of us finished the last race.

Again there is a translation error in the german version - the weekly challenge said here we have to do a “Strassenrennen” (Road Race) and not a “Strassenszenerennen” (Street Race).

Why not just use the symbols of the race type?

Why not just play the game in English? You seem to be able to understand it.

Ok, sucks for the ones that don’t, sure.

The event labs get worse every week. Also if you arent going to have us race drivatars at least make us race against a time for the points

Ohhh, you mean that. Yeah, had drop outs too but at first I thought you meant idiots on team trying to ram me off the road because I dared to pass them because they were slow and sloppy.

EDIT : re The Dropouts… I dunno, I figured it was because you didn’t need to complete it to pop the Daily and that’s the only reason they were there ? Not sure.

Well, if they can’t get simple translation right would you trust them to use the right symbol ?

Well :wink: …if you want to race in the event labs just fire it up as co-op :smiling_imp:

Localization problems is quite an issue, and I can at least understand that. About a series ago it seemed to be a problematic thing, though it seems to vary by language. I’ve also noted them in older series’ too. Now, I wouldn’t change any language other than English, but if localization is this bad, then something’s seriously wrong with the QA, which in this case you’d have to go back to English (or European English or even the British one).

Would you do the same thing to French, Polish, Spanish and even other languages like Japanese translations?

Shame localization seems to be thrown on the wayside.

Also, I’m not too impressed with the Galant considering it was relegated to traffic duty… for 14 months.

Touge event just crashes and crashes for me. Almost certainly a memory issue. Too bad they never bother to test this stuff and make sure it works, but then I guess that would be asking too much of a supposed AAA studio.

Ugh, did not enjoy the circuits for the trial.

@CashlessPlains8 , curious about the Silvia maybe. As I’m not able to get to the game today, what other cars are available for the event that you might be interested in doing a tune? If you don’t have time that’s ok. I’ll just run whatcha brung!

For what it’s worth the Subaru does ok in stock too. Ask me how I know ? :wink:

Yep. “Too many tunes. Delete some.” Again ? ! :roll_eyes:

So, I’ll be back later to try some of those out :slight_smile: Thanks in advance !

Crashed once for me loading in, then was fine. Out of curiosity, I’m on Xbox One S, you?

@AnakalaRon, it looks like any Japanese car that can be B700 or below…so any one you want should be ok to actually tune but I am not sure how competitive it will be :woman_shrugging:
Let me know and I’ll give it a go later tonight… be a bit before I am in front of my XSX! :slightly_smiling_face: It will definitely be ready for you tomorrow…:wink:
I do love the 92 Silvia though, personally my favorite Silvia :grin:
I wish we had the Sil-Eighty!! :slightly_smiling_face::slightly_smiling_face:

Leaning between Celica Sport Specialty, 2000GT and the Mazda Familia to use in the trial. Anything but an old Civic really. :smile:

@CashlessPlains8 I would love to have a go in an MX-5 with one of your tunes. If that’s do-able.
