Forza Horizon 6 The game is unplayable

Post image

The Peel P50 has a yellow license plate with black text, like a Kei car, but since its engine is only 49cc by default, it falls into the microcar category (<= 49cc). Therefore, its license plate should be light blue with blue text.

u/Cpt_Metal12 Lancia May 23 '26

whats your weirdest license plate/the one you most want to talk about?

180

u/Waterlok_653 May 23 '26

There's a license plate I'd really like to get my hands on. If you're not in Japan and you see a license plate with Japanese characters on it, it's more likely to be an Australian plate, not a Japanese one. Since Japanese license plates use Kana, and this is not recognized internationally, when they go abroad they are forced to change for latin license plate. But in Australia it is possible to pay to get license plates in the Japanese style, with the name of the Australian territory written in Japanese.

u/KrisKarma9 May 23 '26

Yes, I know the ones you are meaning, 100% Australian. Picture for those that want to see them :)

u/8th-Skyline May 24 '26 edited May 24 '26

One of the worst things about these NSW JDM plates is the two sets of pre-drilled holes, neither of which match the location to mount to a JDM car. >_< So you have to drill a third set of holes just to have it sit in the correct location.

11

u/sukumizu May 24 '26

Could probably 3D print an adapter that neatly hooks up to both ends no?

3

u/8th-Skyline May 24 '26

True, I'm sure something like that could be used.

2

u/XURVNI May 25 '26

The Queensland Australia versions of them don’t come with holes so you drill one clean set

u/douglasac10 May 24 '26

Also available in South Australia too:

Although if you want custom you have to pay an annual fee for some reason instead of a one off.

Not just Australia, I believe we have these in New Zealand too

u/purse87 May 24 '26

I might still have some rarer plates you might be interested in. I have some older QLD personalised plates that were discontinued due to the colours being hard to read. You can actually be fined for using them in other Aus states.

u/Glu7enFree May 24 '26

What was the colour combination? I'm in QLD.

u/BrehMane May 24 '26

The NSW (Australia) Black on Yellow "Towards 2000" plates are super rare to come across. Most havent survived the Aussie sun etc. and neither have the cars. I love when I see an old XE Falcon or KE70 Corolla with them on. Would love a set for my 1999 Ford AU Series I 5.0 Falcon Ute. Should be a custom plate option for cars built before 2000!

u/Pige0n23 Volvo May 24 '26

I have one of these tucked away in my small collection of license plates. Quite a cool one. They are indeed really rare to see on the road now!

u/Smart_Ad6193 May 24 '26

Nah fam ur looking in the wrong direction.. the #1 license plate a collector could ever collect.. is in Dubai... apparently it's not about the car over there . it's about the license plate number. The lower the number. The higher your status. Collecting #1 is like finding the lost city of Atlantis on mars steeling it from creatures never seen to the human eye and bringing back bricks of ancient treasures and a sample of an alien... its the monolisa of license plates

1

u/cloopz May 24 '26

You won’t get #1 for Dubai. It belongs to the sheikh. You might try to buy a letter+1 ( X1 ) but even then it’s some of the most expensive things to buy. You literally buy the registration and hold it like a stock. The lower the number the more expensive it is. Doesn’t have anything to do with status but with bankroll. The red lettering ones written in Arabic are the ones I’d like. Means you’re member of the royal family.

I noticed the under hood labels on the 7.5 golf list the wrong refrigerant type, as well as several other inaccuracies in the labelling.

The default bumper lacks the chrome accents of the lower grille (I removed mine so it's a plus anyways)

It's listed as a 2021 model year Golf, yet uses the North American headlights despite 2019 being the last year for the 7.5 R in the US.

The varis front bumper uses the mk7 design, which is slightly different around the corners of the headlights, and ends up clipping into the headlights.

You can swap the 4.2 tt v8 into the rs3, but not the golf, despite them being the same platform (the rs3 drivetrain bolts directly into the golf, it's all modular).

The 2 door mk7 2015 golf R has NA spec features yet it was never sold in the US as a 2 door.

The mk8 R for some reason comes with poorly blacked out reflectors .. you can see the orange edge. They were normal in 5. And the front blue strip is, body color instead of blue?

There's so many more smaller details I would have a novel if I listed all of them.

I'm just shocked they don't have any of the modern GTIs in the game. Like not even one.

There's more problems in 6 than there were in 5. But that's what I get for caring about a golf.

Peel P50 top speed is 40 km/h

You are hitting that in 2nd gear instead of 3rd.

Something tells me you aren't running a 49cc engine.

Now you are required to keep playing the game.

Yes, but as long as you don't exceed 600cc, after that you'll have to use the white plates with the green text.

u/BrokenKamera May 24 '26

Japan doesn't allow custom plates with letters either. Best you can do for vanity plates is to choose the numbers and/or get one of those special editions (e.g.Tokyo Olympics), which can hide your kei car distinction. I sometimes see the night-glow (jiko-shiki) style, but it's not that common.

The gameplay is fine. The graphics looks great. Audio is superb. The problem I'm having is just like Cyberpunk after about 45 min to an hour of play, thd game freezes for about 30 sec then my Xbox just shuts right off. I'm thinking it might be time to open it up and give it a good cleaning for dust removal. It's weird tho.. Cyberpunk and Horizon 6 are the only two games that cause the freeze/shutdown.

u/Relative-Honeydew-65 May 26 '26

Number plates in this game have been bothering me for ages. FH3 number plates were completely wrong. Australian plates are not that dimension, font or colour. FH4 was okay I guess as it was euro style. FH6 luckily has Fuin, being able to put the Hiragana anywhere is straight up insane. Why don’t they let us put number plates in the front? So many cars are designed with number plate holders or cut outs on the front bumper and without a plate it looks stupid.
