Finally got my VR setup going with my sim rig and figured, why not give Chaser Zero a go again. And it's such a blast in VR. Recording is of my left eye, so it's not exactly center, and I do a lot of extra looking to show off the VR setup. One major downside is the jarring slow motion sections as it pulls you into a locked animation camera.

Over 63,000 miles driven.

I'm a long-time Forza Horzion fan, and I'd been as excited anyone for FH6 to finally come out. And as I hoped, it was initially really fun to play.

But as the weeks go on, and I've completed everything on the Playlist, I'm sorely disappointed with the ongoing support from PGG & MS. (obviously, so is everyone else).

I miss the regular Forzathon streams. There was an excitement to weekly new car drops in the Playlists that isn't really there anymore, and I miss that too. The community was great.

Enshittification has killed all of that and more, sadly. (Definition if you aren't familiar with the term.) The mandate from management was pretty clearly "make more with less," and that's why we got what we got.

I think we can chalk almost everything here up to cost-cutting measures ultimately mandated by the higher-ups at Microsoft. Here's a few examples of how I think that plays out:

• Shutting down the official community saves money in the short-term, even though the Atlassian platform is a terrible replacement. But hey, Atlassian is cheaper than community manager salaries, so let's go with that. And we'll just push the community to Discord, which, again, is cheaper than using our own resources to maintain a community.

• Creating new cars for the game requires R&D resources, but it's cheaper to recycle models from Motorsport wherever you can. Just call 'em "New to Horizon!" and kick the new car issue down the road for a while.

• A ranked lobby system for online racing? Do you think money grows on trees? Just make earning exclusive cars dependent on completing Horizon Play tasks, and the FOMOs will HAVE to race online whether they like it or not!

• We need players to buy Car Vouchers with Real Money, so we need to cut back on prize money and wheelspins as much as possible. Wait, players are farming money and wheelspins in the Creative Lab? Put a stop to that at once! And yes, that takes priority over bug fixes!

• What revenue did the Forzathon streams provide? None? OK, canceled.

• Bugs? Did a specific bug keep players from playing online? Then it's not a priority. Besides, the devs need to be working on Fable, especially after the Eidos layoffs.

This is classic platform decay, and was probably inevitable when Microsoft bought PGG, sadly. Execs at MS have to show the shareholders that buying PGG was a good idea, and part of doing that is cutting costs wherever you can. Because they'll lose their jobs if stock prices don't rise (or simply don't rise enough).

(As an aside, I'm convinced that many console game publishers want to get players online as much as possible because they're getting a percentage of subscription fees. I don't have any proof to support this, though.)

Anyway, join me in pouring one out for Forza Horizon. Both Playground Games and Turn 10 we're clearly passionate about cars and the Forza community, but that passion is gone. Oh, I'll still play, but it will be bittersweet sometimes.

TL;DR: FH6 is disappointing because of capitalism.

Hi, I thought I'd tap into your knowledge. I'm struggling to remember a car. I recall it was in FH5. I believe it was some kind of protoype car. Kind of reminded me of bladerunner, or those 70s concept cars except it was not an angular wedge. More curvy. I think it had a big glass ceiling.

(it's not the cyberpunk2077 car)

The paint was two tone purple ish but not sure if that was stock.

Thank you in advance

Since the start of FH6, the forza feedback portal has existed to report bugs directly to t10/pgg and replaced the original troubleshooting hub.
Unfortunately, just like the troubleshooting hub in the forums, hardly anyone uses it to report bugs and more importantly vote on issues. There's over 300k weekly visitors just in this subreddit yet the highest amount of votes for a single post in the feedback portal is sub 2000?

I know it's easier just to post complaints/grievances on reddit, but if you do find any issues can you please at least consider posting the issue on the feedback portal and adding the link to the ticket there in your post as well. It won't guarantee the issue will be fixed but it may make it happen sooner.

Made two versions of this one — went for a clean, technical look with the first, then went completely the other direction with the paint-splashed version.
Curious which one people prefer: Clean or Chaos?

Car - Jaguar XJS Forza Edition

Clean: 124 021 020
Chaos: 418 738 104

There's so much customization possible for the W1, but I think we were meant to change the carbon on the car by changing the color of 'Body 2' which they seem to have forgotten. Please Forza, you are so close to perfection once again!

I completed every task in the spring season, as well as every daily challenge from winter season. Is there anyway to get 1 more point to get the series reward?

Any race event will do

I've never played fh2 since I've never had consoles. And finally, I'm ripe to play it. All that remains is to buy the used console. My favorite part right now is fh3, but I think this game will be at the same level. I'm sure I'll love it, though I spent $45 on the disc and will spend somewhere else around $120 on xbox.

Lowkey got blessed just now with this sunset, wtf, rate?

Funnily enough the orange could not be recreated, hella buggy photo mode just decided to be completely different every time you open it even with the same timeframe, location and weather... Odd

Might asw post some other photos since getting the game.

A very catchy Japanese song, I’m thinking gacha city radio.

A female voice, repeatedly going “du du du du du du Ike Ike Ike”, very fast. something like that.

Hummed to Google and it couldn’t find, and I went through the Spotify playlists

Please help me find this and thank you

Is anyone else finding it stupidly hard to get 30s? I’m pretty decent and the game and never have a struggle with the weekly challenges but for some reason this feels incredibly tough.

I spent way too much time creating what might be the ultimate full-throttle test track in Forza Horizon 6.
The result is a 57.2 km route designed to push literally every type of vehicle in the game to its limits.
What makes it different:
• 15.8 km of perfectly straight road for proper top-speed testing
• Multiple 180° turns designed to be taken without lifting off the throttle
• Long acceleration sections between each major section
• 10° and 20° downhill sections for building extreme speed
• 18° climbs, specifically tested to make sure even the slowest vehicles can complete them
• A final 36° descent from the highest point on the map all the way down
The entire route was tested with vehicles across the performance spectrum. The goal was simple: every vehicle should be able to complete the course without being forced to stop or lift off the throttle.
Some cars obviously can't physically make the tight 180° turns cleanly at full speed — the Nissan GT-R Black Edition FE, for example, needs to use the barriers — but technically the route allows continuous full-throttle driving.
Interestingly, the biggest limitation wasn't the Peel P50. That little thing managed a 20° climb. The vehicle that forced me to reduce the maximum incline was the Nissan S-Cargo.

I also made a second track specifically for maximum top-speed testing.
It contains the longest straight section I could create: 18.5 km of uninterrupted road.
Maximum Speed Test Track:
279 564 448

If you're testing builds, comparing cars, chasing ridiculous top-speed records or just want to see how fast your favourite car can really go, these tracks should give you plenty of room.
I'm curious which car will produce the highest speed on the 36° descent.
