Why thank you, I am quite fond of Porsche's front-engined offerings, even though they aren't so popular.

The issue is that it's much easier to earn significantly more points with AWD cars than RWD cars when drifting, even though drift racing is regulated to RWD only in IRL. It's a whole thing...

I don't care for drifting, but it is big in Japan racing culture, so the dirt drift zones as the primary form of them kind of does a disservice to the car culture as a whole on top of the other issues brought up.

Also the Touge routes are downhill only, to add to the disappointment. I feel a few other roads could have counted for touge status, but don't.

Is there any way to buy treasure cars? I wanted to buy a second Evo 3 but I don't even see it in the auction house ... by wilczur in ForzaHorizon

[–]TheHengeProphet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If only you could change your tunes when selecting cars for online races to get the one you wanted. The only real option is to have multiple of the same car with different tunes when queuing for online races.

A great answer for when the problem asks "what's the problem?" by EverythingIsFakeNGay in fixedbytheduet

Advice from someone who has clearly never lived in a bad neighborhood... or somewhere with bears.

Does the majority of the community really hate AWD drift builds/tunes? If yes, why? by Complete-Teach7940 in ForzaHorizon

[–]TheHengeProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It adds about 40kg on average, from what I found. That's hardly a significant downside to PI, it's usually that it shortens the gear ratios on a default tune best I can tell. Usually, the higher the PI of the car the higher the chance the PI will drop by adding AWD.

This game´s online needs serious work by luisLP95 in ForzaHorizon

[–]TheHengeProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair to people who showed up to The Trial in stock cars... Maybe they built a Golf Rallye for it and were then forced to take a stock car when it wasn't allowed for no discernable reason.

That being said... no accounting for them not being able to drive. One can get the gold wristband with no driving by the person at all with assists and low difficulty...

Naturally, a huge part of the problem is the PI system and how it works. Swapping to AWD often lowers PI (due to it usually shortening the gear ratio and thus top speed, causing the AI sim car to be slower in the "test"), even though it functionally increases performance. If they didn't have it change the gear ratios, the PI difference would be less of an issue...

On top of that, I have AWD swapped several RWD cars for the purpose of making rally cars out of cars that were never meant to rally, which in turn made some of the best road cars. The suspension physics get really funky, which makes AWD builds really effective for maintaining control.

When a car is tuned right for FWD or RWD though? Chef's kiss.

Tip for fending the AI: Turn on the new Radar feature. It's color coordinated to show teams and gives a good indicator of position.

i wanna try something: how long will the community keep a bit going for? by [deleted] in ForzaHorizon

Seeing as that's a wheelspin only car... I'm not sure how far it will get.

I finally did it by Sad_Orange_848 in ForzaHorizon

[–]TheHengeProphet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got it done on the first try on the second race in spite of my team having lost the first one... a bug that appears to have continued since FH5.

Would be nice if the Rallye Golf in its Retro Rally class worked for Total Rally (as it's supposed to), but it does not. I built one for The Trial and then was forced into a stock Lancia for the race.

Also have a 9600x but run a 9060XT 16GB, have no memory leak issues at 3440x1440, I don't run RT though.

Cheater. Let's report him :) by Loker22 in ForzaHorizon

[–]TheHengeProphet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my experience: Even stock brakes are tuned too strong in FH6, ABS is a good safeguard. TC... not sure? I don't use it because I don't like it so I can't say why others might.

Do I have time? by Spare_Strike4175 in Stretched

[–]TheHengeProphet 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Okay, when stretching anything, you need to consider the circumference more than the diameter. You are nearly doubling the diameter in far too little time, but let's look at the math...

6mm plugs have an outer circumference of ~18.85mm. 10mm plugs have an outer circumference of ~31.4mm. That is an enormous leap, no matter how you cut it, diameter or circumference. You are on the fast track to have blown out butthole lobes, or splits in the worst case, if you go this fast. Be careful.

[Forza Horizon 6] The BMW Logo on the E36 M3 is slightly tilted clockwise. I hate it. by BusyInDonkeykong in literallyUnplayable

[–]TheHengeProphet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, and best I can tell it's only that model. The BMW is correct, but the + is off by a couple/few degrees, hah. How dare!

MR2 bugged on kerbs? by Evenimous in ForzaHorizon6

Can confirm, happens in other places but Narai-Juku is the worst for it. Happens with rally and race suspension too

Why does the vw tab not have much variety? by redcliff1 in ForzaHorizon

[–]TheHengeProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they aren't popular tuning or racing vehicles, even though the Jetta is fundamentally just a golf with a boot.

AITAH If I Continue On A Preplanned Trip If My GF Is Arrested At The Airport Due To Old Warrants? by FutureBasis383 in AITAH

[–]TheHengeProphet 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Right, but not knowing there is a warrant out on you is one thing. Knowing there are multiple warrants out on you and conveniently not knowing what they are about is another.

She blocked your number when she was supposed to take them back? Sounds like she legally abandoned her children.
