I’m flying to edinburgh because my son loves fh4 so much he wants to see all the sights he’s raced around.
I’ve never been so I don’t know how authentic the recreations are. I don’t remember ambleside looking like it did in the game nor Coober Pedy when I was in Aus.
I wondered what peoples thoughts were and whether fh4 had tempted you to visit any of the places.
Also on the bucket list is Nice from fh2.
The centre of Edinburgh around the castle, Old Town & New Town is fairly accurate, the further out you get the more roads aren’t quite where they’re supposed to be. Arthur’s seat looks pretty good too.
This gives you an idea of where things start to divert from reality:
A pint of ‘heavy’ would help too…
the ruin that the festival site is built around is Kenilworth castle, i live just up the road and go there often.
The road into Ambleside from Tarn Hows, along the lake have a slight resemblance to this junction - Waterhead Pier
One of the cut-throughs, again in Ambleside, have a slight resemblance to here - Broadgate, Grasmere
Yes, I’ve been to all of the places named after real places and even the “Great Ridge” which is based on Roseberry Topping that I can see from my house, the last place I was at was Bamburgh Castle.
