Too much to re-write, lol. Just bumping it up.
I’d really love to see Forza Horizon 3 in 60 FPS this time!
Personally I would like to see a much bigger map as I’ve seen every inch of both Horizon 1 & 2’s map, I like to explore unfamiliar territory and find new places. I’m not saying that the map should be anywhere near as big as The Crew but something similar in size to Oahu on TDU would be great. This may help with some longer distance showcase events which could be made more similar to the Top Gear style races across a lot of miles.
I would also love to see the map feel much more lively when exploring than the current games. Having vehicles that behave a bit more intelligently, high levels of traffic in city centres and people around and about would help the game feel more lifelike. Furthermore, combining car meets into free roam and having a few modified enthusiast type cars cruising in small groups or parked by the side of some of the roads would be a nice touch. I think the car meets should be incorporated into free roam in areas such as roamable car parks, warehouses, multi-storey car parks etc and the drivatars should favour a certain type of car depending on where the meet is, for example the drivatars favouring exotics in an affluent area.
As a few others have already said, drag strips and more courses rather than redoing old routes every time you go back to a location would be good. I would also like to see TDU style car clubs in which you have to beat the drivatars from the car club driving certain types or makes of car in street races with the option of representing your favourite club in a car club tournament once you beat all of the clubs.
A more structured single player would be good as Horizon 2 becomes a bit of a grind with very little direction when having to go to the same locations to do the same races in a different car multiple times to win each championship. Working your way towards something like in the original Horizon was more satisfying than doing championship after championship. A return to the Ali Howard style illegal street races would be good.
Finally, more customisation for cars at the cheaper end of the spectrum would be good with wide bodykits and the option to widen track width and the ability to add some stance.

Regardless of location - on really big city has to be ingame (min 3x the size of FH2s Nizza)
-
In cities there should be more traffic than outside - in FH2 it kinda felt like there is the same amount of traffic where ever you go - but not too much so driving would get impossible - only a bit harder
-
More optical tuning possibilities for cars which are famous for tuning (JDMs, European hatch backs like the Golf GTi, Audi A3, …), maybe even widebody kits, it would also be could if it would be possible to custom stance and track like in the new NFS
-
Make drift races as new type of event - for beginners you could make an Drift Assist for these kind of races - the same also for drag racing (both were things that people really like - why not use this to widen the content)
-
The map has to get generally much huger - it was funny how fast you could get from Castelletto to Sisteron
-
Mountain roads, parking lots and parking garages - in FH2 there were only 3 spots where you saw people drifting (Nizza, the docks and rarly this industrial park)
-
Convertibles and the possiblity to use open and close the roof (Midnight Club managed to make such feature available in 2008 with MC: L.A., it’s also possible in Test Drive and you can also do that in GTA V, why not in Forza Horizon
-
In FH2 the lights on the cars turn on way to late and go off way to early - it would be nice if I could decide when to turn on and of the lights (like in GTA)
-
Full control of every extra of the car - i want to be able to turn up and down the window, use turning signals, warning lights, wipers, upper beam headlights, fog lights etc. - the navigation system shoud work in cockpit view, board computers should work - these small thing would add such more reality in the game
-
Like said police would be fun ingame - not such extreme like they are in GTA or NFS - more in a realistic way maybe like in Midnight Club L.A. (but not with such an level of frustation by trying to get away ;D)
-
Offroad racing only with cars which are purposed for it (no sedans, supercars etc.) - and it shouldn’t be possible to drive on mud with supercars high speed without any problems, not offroad purposed cars should only be able to use at offroad events with at least offroad springs (still exclude supercars, sports cars and classics - it’s ridiculous)
-
The idea of including bikes would be really nice, but only if it’s possible that the game stays at one nice level of realism and fairness - especially online it is sure hard driving bikes because some a**holes will surly try to kick you off your bike
-
Car dealerships would be really nice f.e. one dealer for import cars, one for cars muscle cars, one for vintage cars, one for other cars up to built year 2000, brands with lots of cars should have own dealership (Ford, Ferrari, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz…)
-
Last but not least: Please, please redesign or remove completly these Forza Spoilers - the Front Part is kinda okay but the Spoilers (especially on Hatch Backs - it should only be like a lip) are extremly ugly

I really like Suckage’s idea of the countdown timer for online racing in freeroam. I think that would be really cool. GTA has it set up to where you can pick a waypoint, the start a spontaneous race to that point with countdown.
You could have the waypoint race, but maybe have a selection of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and 1 mile drag or waypoint. That way the drag distance would already be set with start and finishline. That’s a great idea. Now we just need to have them put in some GOOD drag content!
I still feel like the location doesn’t matter as much as having the right size and the right features. A huge diverse map is what is needed. Whether it has the actual or fictitious cities, put the best parts of all these suggested locales into one gigantic map. Then just work out the “space between” say, mountain passes in Japan to Cali coastal highway to British B roads to…
And did I mention maybe throw in some drag racing stuff?

1-Custom Race Route Creator.
This would be a really great addition, and I think it is something that would be great in Horizon
2-A top 10 new cars thread in the forums.
I know that it is not in the actual game, but we would list the top 10 cars we want to be added in Forza, and the winners would be put into the game. Kind of similar to Forzalopnik, in a way.
3-A garage that has maybe 15-20 of your favorite cars. You could walk around it and switch out cars if you need to.
4-Forzavista. This kind of goes with my wish above. You could do a Forzavista experience with those cars in your garage.
5-60 FPS.
6-Better online play. I wish it wasn’t just drag race after drag race… Also an option to mute people like in FM6.
7-More Barn Find cars.
8-A larger map with more variety. I love FH2’s map but I feel like I’m stuck in a rut after playing it for over a year.
9-A rally experience similar to the one in the original Horizon.
10-Better Wheelspins, similar to FM6
11-DLC packs with 8 cars instead of 6
12-More convertibles with the ability to adjust the roof
13-Horn and the ability to turn on/off headlights at will.

I agree with the DLC packs as it should contain 8. cars instead of 6
I also agree to the fact that we should be able to adjust the roof on convertibles
It’s funny when you drive a convertible in rain with the roof open
And the ability to use TURN INDICATORS as those look really good when drifting
And finally , a good garage to view your cars like CSR 2

Why not go back to the original 10 cars in a dlc pack now, I miss those days. Adjust roof would be awesome. and there are Horns in the game that we can control and change the tone and sound of.

I recently read a post where someone said that a cool location would be Japan and its mountains. I think that it is a really awesome idea as well, but would be even better with a full sized Tokyo or something. I mean just imagine weaving through the mountainside and turning a corner to see Tokyo at night, how cool would that be!

No, this is not another spammy “i want cops drift smoke and underglow blah blah blah” post.
Customization:
In the rims section, add a category that is something around the lines of “Festival Provided” wheels.
These could consist of steel wheels, cheap alloys, or cheesy hubcaps. These are the kind of wheels that would look nice on a sleeper or a motorsport car. They should be much cheaper than the rims you can buy in other categories; but these should be quite heavier.
NFS-Style (i.e. widebody) bodykit options. I know that this is in 99% of wishlists, but this, still, can draw a bigger audience to the game.
Add the ability to remove body panels. This is a good way to have more weight reduction options, and to have JDM enthusiasts make better drift machines.
Customizable light bars (like the ones you see on work trucks) should be added as a roof decoration for the heavy-duty vehicles like the new Charger or Raptor.
LICENSE PLATES
Gameplay
Add more modes to the D-Pad. These should be cycled through by holding down on the pad.
Indicator mode: Up should be the emergency blinkers. Left and right should be the respective indicators.
Light mode: Up should toggle the headlights. Left should toggle the brights. Right should toggle any hood-mounted or roof-mounted aftermarket lights.
Extras mode: Up should toggle the windshield wipers regardless of weather. Left and right should toggle any other random functions (i.e. raise the spoiler on the P1)
Add a “used car” dealership located away from the Festival. This is where you should be able to sell your cars.
This is also where you should be able to buy slightly modified and damaged cars, or cars that were sold by your friends.
Then you should also be able to buy traffic cars. Yes, traffic cars. The radios in these cars should be tuned to local radio stations (i.e. Levante FM) and not be able to pick up Festival radio. At the garage, only tires, wheels and tuning should be available since these cars aren’t supported or sold by the Festival.
Remember the non-festival street races with Ali Howard? There should be some kind of Festival Security out to bust you, but ONLY on these events. The rest of the time, they shouldn’t be anywhere in the game.
I’d like a larger map with a few looping highways, too.
Music
Horizon Pulse is fine how it is.
Get rid of the indie garbage on Bass Arena. It should be good EDM songs like in Horizon 1. (Keep scott tyler, though >:D)
Rename Horizon XS back to Horizon Rocks. Nobody knows what “XS” means. Some more Jane’s Addiction and The Clash would be nice, too.
Add a station that plays old-school songs, like “Blue Monday” by New Order, or “Take on Me” by A-Ha.
Also, a station that plays country music? Idk if it will get attention but it’s still requested a lot.
This is just some things i’ve thought of randomly. What do you guys think?

Yeah, exactly. I don’t get the whole cops and underglow thing. This is not Midnight Club LA. Cops especially. Unless you want to lose 1/3 of the manufacturers in Forza. AHEMHONDA-coughcough. That just isn’t T10’s style either.

Most of the needed features have already been suggested, so I won’t repeat those.
-
Need for Speed (2015) has a cool feature where you can challenge other drivers to spontaneous challenges. FH has this, too, but only for sprints. Add a drag race and drift option.
-
Penalize off-road driving to cars not equipped for it
-
Anyone else think cars were a tad bit too quiet in FH2 and FM5? Make them more violent - especially when straight-piped
-
New Game modes in SP and MP: Perhaps a point to point race event that demands spontaneous acts to be done. For example, suddenly “Do a J-Turn” or “Go in reverse for 500 feet” etc. Add some variety to the races.
