Anyone plan on playing it? I haven't played a FH game since the XB1 release of forza horizon 2 which was well worth the replay.

I started playing 2 after it was a free download last month, but stopped when I realized almost all of the cars I wanted were locked behind DLC paywalls.

Most DLC packs should've been free, unless you wanted the Porsche collection. I rolled my eyes a little every time I found a car which looked good only to find it required the VIP pass.

Yeah I'll be getting it, only getting the standard one, replaying Horizon 2 at the moment so I can boost my score and get more freebies from the Forza Hub.

I saw an xbox video talking about new stuff and they mentioned this. Not sure if you've seen this or not. I'm not a fan of racing games, but do like James Bond. I thought these cars were cool.

I can see some of y'all are in a car club by certain symbols on your drivatar names.
Anyone in one mind giving me an invite so I can see what they're about? Searching for car clubs that friends are in is actually really bad.

If people haven't, download the Forza Hub app from the store. You'll get rewards frequently which increase the more you play any Forza.

I have it and am digging it quite a bit. I joined my old OFF dudes for the car club, as tons of them play and they hold Sunday events (tho this week is Saturday due to Chiefs-Patriots game Sunday night). I don't do the multiplayer, though I probably should as I'm fairly good, tbh. Not the best, but I race clean. To be totally honest, I spend an inordinate amount of time creating vinyls. I recreated the logo for my wife's organization, and made created a racing team logo that will eventually be tweaked a tad for use as our freelance marketing biz for non-profits. Inspiration was a corgi mix we had named Karma (she was such a great girl). Attachments:

That looks pretty good, I've been trying to recreate yet another Ridge Racer design from the 4th game myself, just making vinyl groups to start with, then I'll work on the car. Trying my hand at recreating this.

I don't really see enough of a difference in the games to buy another version. I like Forza 6 and Horizon 2 enough. I made some cool vintage racing liveries for the old F1 cars recently. I'll try and post them soon if I can remember how.

I've seen Forza Horizon the original in the store but when you click the see price bit it says redeem code, any ideas where I can get the code from?

I've asked about this, but I'm still unclear. I started playing soon after it came to gamepass, but I'm still not able to do any races. I can only drive around and a lot of the game is still locked for me. It says I need about 23,000 in influence or experience (don't remember which one it said). I'm not sure how you get that. I'm not seeing it keeping track of that number on my screen.
The only thing I'm seeing is how much CR I have which is 19,000. I thought that was what it was at first. I thought I had been earning quite a bit every time I take out landscaping or make some wreckage because it tells me great damage and puts a number from 1,000 to 5,000 on the screen. I'm guessing it's actually taking away from my CR when that happens and I am just offsetting it everytime because that number has stayed the same the last few times I've played. Lol.
Could it be because I haven't actually bought the game? I figured if that were true it wouldn't tell me I needed this amount.

That's odd, i play via gamepass and it works. Sometimes it only shows 1 race on the map and the others vanish until you do it. If you check the map, what can you see regarding the icons?

I only see two icons on the map and I've been to both. One is the festival site and the other is one that's not too far from it.

I made a short clip of my game screen, but it's not showing up on xbox dvr. I uploaded it to my onedrive, but the link expired after sharing it so don't know what's going on with all that. Perhaps it will work this time. link

Could it be because I haven't actually bought the game? I figured if that were true it wouldn't tell me I needed this amount. No CR (credits) are taken from your total and the number shown for drifts, smashing things etc is not the influence you'll be earning upon banking, but rather known as "skill score". Influence earned for skills alone is minimal at best, and what influence you actually earn from your skill chain is shown in white just to the left of the center of your screen. Notice this is actually a much smaller number than what your skill chain shows. Do you remember what they lasr told you to do? Tutorial sections usually lock you into doing a particular thing and if progression is a concern it's obviously not a showcase you need to do like I suggested. Perhaps you need to look for a Danger sign? That was one of the things I was directed to do during that period, it looks like a triangular warning sign on the map and the idea is to drive off the marked cliff and soar as far as you can. You've got to be able to do something.

I see your problem now, you're clicking on the progress measuring blips that tell you how far you've come in a particular category. You need to open the map in free roam and actually drive to the events you see on the map. Click on these to set a gps route to them so the minimap points you the right way.
All those buttons are is progress trackers for that event. They're not how you enter races.

Also make sure you have your filters set on your map to show all events.
Doing wreckage, drifting, etc., earns you skill points that you use to unlock boosts on your cars -- more time before losing a skill chain, more skill point modifiers, etc.
You earn influence by racing, or finding Influence boards around the map -- smash them to get 1k, 3k, or 5k influence (it'll say on the board).
Maybe look up some basic tutorials on YouTube to get a better idea if how it all works.

Perhaps it will work this time. linkWhat position did you come in those two races? I think if you're not in the top three then you may need to do it again to get the points required.
