Rather than spam the group with 7 images, I summarized with one pic plus the share codes. Keep in mind that only the Impala, Nova, El Camino, and OTHER Impala qualify (even though I have C600 tunes by @CashlessPlains8 and @x_ShadowsBane_x ). (This was previously pointed out by @SpirantCrayon22)
So the Chevelle, Camaro, and Monte Carlo were just for funsies (unless you’re looking for a Gulf livery for one of those… then by all means).
This to @x_ShadowsBane_x, @CashlessPlains8, @AAORTA and no doubt there are others. There really should be a separate thread for this discussion. My wife recently died after a long and gruelling illness. Throughout that time I have, when able, continued to play FH5. I haven’t (intentionally) interacted much with others in the game and play multiplayer only when necessary or when I really want to.
Despite all the moans and complaints we sometimes have about the game, I can truthfully say that it’s been a godsend for me and hopefully will continue to help distract me, if temporarily from my sadness at losing my life partner. So “forza” to this game and this community.
Sorry for your loss. I would like to offer my deepest condolences.
I’m glad that FH has been able to help you cope and we are lucky to have you here on the forum! I look forward to your contributions here and hope to see you posting for a long time…!
Best of luck and happy driving!
I’m so sorry to hear of this. I know how hard it is to lose someone close and my thoughts are with you on this hard time in your life.
These forum members are all here to support you.
I’m also a self-confessed ‘Horizon-Hermit’ too. Thank you to all the posters here, regular or occasional, who keep us all entertained with your opinions,rants & pearls of wisdom.
This Escaping the Heat championship is ****ing impossible in a stock car. Like, legitimately impossible. El Descenso is straight-up broken. The AI launches like rockets, have impossible grip, and ignore the water that grinds you to a halt. I had only a slim lead going into it, tried half of the eligible cars, even set manual shifting on, and I could not do better than 5th or 6th. And now I’ve restarted the championship in a Civic, managed to actually get a lead in the first race, and going off the huge jump at the end my car nosedives and pulls a front-flip. Every. Single. Time. No matter how I rewind and tweak my angle. This is absurd.
Maybe try a tuned car - but !!! , if you look above it still somehow gives you a win with even reasonable finishes. Finished 2nd, 4th & 3rd in the races but still won the championship. Just run it to the final race and see if it does it. Might work
That was in my first run at it but maybe a couple more attempts will give it to you in the end.
That was a Renault Mégane R.S. (2018), B, 700, AWD ugrundy tune.
I’m not tuning the car, because I shouldn’t HAVE to tune the car for a freaking seasonal championship. These should be gimme events on Highly Skilled, things you sit through for 10 minutes to collect your points and move on. The Trial this week was an absolute cakewalk, and yet this championship is beyond absurd.
Agree but according to most posts, this one was way harder than it should have been. Even the Trial was easier than this event. I’ve often found that as the week goes on things get a bit more lenient in your favour after a few runs - including any PR stunts.
Also didn’t bother to retune anything. Just used what was in the garage at the time.
Are you against slapping a tune on your car of choice just out of principle? The championship is pretty easy with a competent tune, and it would save you the frustration and time.
I do the in editor and then the “my files” views because they render slightly differently. You can notice some gaps in the “my files” version that aren’t apparent in the editor. Before I finish I’ll put a yellow background behind to check for gaps, then I’ll put it on a car to find the OTHER gaps.
Pretty much, yeah. I hate tuning my cars in general, doubly so when I feel there should be no reason to do so. And that’s absolutely the case for seasonal championships, which I’m usually able to sleepwalk through. It continues to astound me that PGG can roll out this broken nonsense week after week without anyone so much as sitting down to play through it beforehand.
While attempting this stupid Sisyphean task, I realized something else: a lot of the CC sprints in this game don’t have anywhere that you can game the AI. A lot of us have been playing these games for long enough to know the spots on a track where they’re going to brake unnecessarily or take a wide line, and if you’re behind those are the places where you can make hay. But these CC races are full-throttle for most of the way, and the turns aren’t sharp enough to pull an effective dive-bomb. If you have the throttle pegged for the entire race and the AI is still pulling away, there’s literally nothing you can do to catch up unless they have a dumb moment somewhere.
