Who was the marketing genius that said “we need helicopters in the new expansion” is probably in the wrong field

Having an option to turn it off, would do wondes, as you could actually see the road and not just clouds of dust and flashing lights.

They should put a chase mode and follow you through Mexico.

I find it infinitely more annoying at night, especially on tarmac. You can see when an AI is closing in on you by their headlight beam on the road and which side they are coming from and act accordingly…you don’t need to look back at all. The helicopter completely destroys that.
The helicopter is a lot of the reason I barely go back there…it is one of many design decisions that had zero thought put in as to how it would impact the players…someone just said “they have helicopters in real life and it would look cool so let’s put it in”…at no point did someone say “hang on a minute…won’t the players find it distracting and annoying?”. Of course it’s possible someone said that and were over-ruled by a manager with “I don’t care, I think it would look cool so we are doing it and, no, we aren’t giving the players the option to turn it off in normal play…they should consider themselves lucky we will let them do it in EventLabs”

Agreed, I haven’t gone back to Serria cause of the Heli and the constant never ending pinning every single pucking time you do anything it pins a childish now you must do this pin and then I have to go in and get laughed at by the reaper to unpin, do a race and the entire time think how bloody annoying is that chopper then finsh only to find the pin I had just unpinned pinned again

I did the weekly challenge with the muscle cars there today to get the German hoodie. Which actually isn’t a hoodie but a jacket with a hood that I already got but that’s not the point. The actual one is that the helicopter was there. In a race not a rally event. I so far thought it’ll only be there for rallies because it’s replacing the co-driver giving the pace notes which you obviously don’t get in races but that doesn’t seems to be the case. Why it also has to be around in the races only PGG knows.

No wonder, you are throwing RC car at him. The rotors just push it away.

I was running the Halo showcase remix in FH4 today and noticed the debris being kicked up by the craft flying in front. I realized it was pulled from there and reskinned as a heli.

Just look for the one with ADD who thought “more cowbell” before being distracted by a random chicken.
If only we had the Terradyne Gurkha.

The 928 from “Leonard Part 6” would be more entertaining…
I turned off SFX VOLUME and that got rid of the helicopter sound but also got rid of the crowd noise the start of the race sounds maybe even the missed checkpoint countdown and also could be other sounds missing but if you can care less for all of that you can get rid of the HELICOPTER sound
it was really complicated nailing down how the helicopter moves, it’s all based on the finish line, nearby objects, and your car placement. this was the closest I could get, even with much heavier cars
I would prefer if the helicopter wasn’t there in races. I guess it has some sort of function in rally stages, but it is just hovering there being annoying during races.
I find the simplest solution to the helicopter sound is to not go to Rally Adventure!
