@T10ManteoMax

200FP Car 1993 Nissan 240SX SE*

I’m not completely convinced on that one.

[SpirantCrayon22]

that one is a bit odd; 25k autoshow car?

[aeqnx]

Yep. It should be the FD #777 240SX (screenshot from Hoki’s S39 overview)

[pauly57]

Thanks again Good Sir!

[SpirantCrayon22]

to be fair, it looks like @T10ManteoMax wasn’t convinced, going by the formatting!

[Mustuff124]

This the my 1994 Ferrari F355 against unbeatable AI on this week’s The Trail track.

It is not the fastest car car, but a very stable car to drive. Very easy to handle

[Scimmia22]

The exact wording for the Open is “Earn 5 Pass Skills in any Horizon Open Event”. I really hope that’s not literal and it has to be done in a single event.

[Laberbacke]

Another week, another “low video memory” warning at the start of an Event Lab. Is my graphics card dying?

[Kendoguk]

That was probably one of the fastest 20 points I’ve ever got, was about 13 minutes.

[x_ShadowsBane_x]

An uneventful Trial for the most part. My times won’t stack up against the good drivers here but I really liked the way my 355 Berlinetta tune drove.

Very smooth and easy to drive.

Cauldron Rally Circuit eligibility does not include the two FEs that are S1 Rally Monsters

[Agent4Christ962]

I must’ve been away from Forza for awhile. I was unaware they added backstage passes back into the game. It’s a cool addition, though.

[Lostphoenixuk]

If it’s the event Island (Airport) event then it’s likely the game. I’ve had large frame drops on the event island events for the last two weeks

I think its too many assets / rending issues on the chosen events

It might be worth reducing some of the settings on the graphics if it appears in more than one place

[R3L04D]

For some reason this drivatar started reversing

[SpirantCrayon22]

yeah, weird, seen it a few times, not long ago there was one where one or two didn’t move, one or two reversed and one or two others drove really strangely for a few seconds

[Agent4Christ962]

There was a glitch back in Motorsport 3 that if you rewinded the game enough, the computer players would crash themselves.

[robotiChart]

Had an awful trial run.

Was preloading blops6 on my pc and it started maxing my dl …I started lagging on fh5, missed CP for sport

2 team wins but not a good drive by myself

[Lostphoenixuk]

It may have just been the session. I experienced a lot of input lag on the Trial this week which was especially bad on the first event

PC was running well and my network load was very light so the issue was in game
