A YouTuber I’ve watched a few times released a video today that was about the best car sound settings for the ones that are being added in this series + the next one (I’m sure some on here will know who it is just from that so I won’t name them in case it isn’t allowed) and there is footage of them actually driving the cars, I’ve already come across a random player at the festival driving the '18 RS4 as well.
Do some players get given them early by PG or have they just got them through some dodgy/illegal method?
I know that some updates contain future content which is hidden until it should be accessible. They did just that with their last update. Users can then datamine this stuff to determine what future content is coming. Unlocking this content though is a different story though…
I have Eventlab races to get photos of some of new stuff, and AI can drive whatever they wish.
If people clocking to get new stuff, that’s a big nono. But tunes and liveries available instantly, so who knows.
That dodgy/illegal method is just a well known issue carried over from previous FH titles.
Don’t know if those players get tracked and banned at least for a while.
But I also already saw a player with the VW-Pickup freeroaming.
I do know it’s possible without mods or cheats to create liveries for cars you don’t own. I forget how to do it (was only a few days ago it was told to me on this forum), but I do know it is possible and totally legitimate.
Tunes though, that I don’t think it’s possible without cheating, though there could be a similar method, and people are just tuning based on the numbers.
So yeah TL;DR it’s totally possible to paint a car you don’t have a can’t own yet through legitimate, non-cheating ways.
Under paint there’s an option to select car then for all cars. When I looked at it I thought it was pretty locked down. It was limited to autoshow cars and the unreleased Carpass cars were not available.
Influencers like Ericship 111 are given early access.
Outside of game launch I’ve not actually seen anyone showing early access stuff that was provided by the studio. Been a plenty of people showing cars obtained via illegal mods though.
You’re a lot more likely to get a Gremlin or 90s golf via the gift barns than anything “risky” based on my experience. I just wouldn’t use anything online until it’s available otherwise. Gifting and auctioning go through their servers so they’re able to enforce the appropriate party if desired.
Imagine that. Some kid gets gifted an ultimate version of this game for their birthday. They log in for the first time to see a gifted car. They are over the moon with joy and start driving around. A few moments later they get disconnected and try to login, only to see that they have been perma banned.
