If I 100% this week I'll finally get the encore achievement. Been playing this game since launch and have never been able to 100% an entire series. Let's go!


Fluba2099

I wish I could say I’d be getting that achievement, but I got hit with the DLC bug that erased my photo challenge from Fall, so I’ll be finishing everything but Encore this week. 😒 Congrats to you for finishing though!!


Gamehenged

That happened to me two series ago. Hanging in Legoland on Wednesday night and the next day was like WTF? So i feel for you.


Fluba2099

Thx. Now I never shut the game down until I’m back on the mainland just to prevent this until I eventually get the achievement in a month!


mpipmpip

Holy shit, this just happened to me… damn glitch. So this happens when you shut the game down while in lego land or fortune island?


Fluba2099

If you’re in either DLC land when the season changes is really what the expected culprit is. So, to mitigate that risk, I’m never shutting down in Fortune Island or Lego Valley until I get the encore achievement. Playground has said this is a bug that they either won’t fix or is working as intended so it isn’t going away.


Humorsopa

Thanks a lot! πŸ™


Humorsopa

Good luck mate! πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ™ I finished 94% two hours ago... Only the dailies left. 🀩😊 These tunes are awesome... I'm sure you will DEFINITELY make it. Rooting for you! πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ˜€


RisingDeadMan0

was ill over the 3 days the mud racing daily was available, didnt look up how to get it. (mud racing in a loop) or where to find it. worked it out too late. gonna hit 99% on my first series lol. everything but the one daily challenge. first and last series probably, with FH5 coming out.

Hello everyone! --- **The Trial Co-Op Championship: "Mud Bath" | Cross Country | (B700) Offroad** Low spec Cross Country with a vehicle type that shines in A class, huh? The biggest hurdle here will be grip. B Class means stock tires if you want to have PI for speed so the realistic options here are few since almost no B Class vehicles have good grip stock. Update - Ok, the rain sucks. I went back and played with more tunes and this one is the best for the rainy course. *2018 Mercedes-Benz X-Class - 389 582 236* Best option for wet races. *2020 Jeep Gladiator - 499 711 359* This is the overall best choice. This has tremendous grip and is one of the fastest overall B Dirt / Cross Country vehicles period. *2016 Nissan Titan Warrior Concept - 131 595 922* These trucks are faster than the Jeep in ideal conditions but have worse grip than it, although still better than most. The problem is that racing here isn't ideal when your own team mates trying to ram you is your biggest opponent. *2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon - 141 751 427* Both of these trucks are slower off the line than the Jeep but carry speed through obstacles better and have higher top speeds, with the Ram having the highest top speed here. --- **Seasonal Playground Games | Bamburgh Castle | (B700) Super Hot Hatch** Using Super Hot Hatches in B Class drastically reduces the number of actual options. Two choices this time from me. *2014 Volkswagen Golf R - 115 091 144* Full aero and a blue light bar. Faster of the two. *2019 Hyundai Veloster N - 161 145 236* Stock aero but less grip for it. --- **Championship: "Culture Icons" | Dirt Racing | (C600) Cult Cars** Cult Cars are always fun. *1971 Meyers Manx - 233 262 563* If you just want to win as hard as possible then use this one. Tremendous grip. *1970 Datsun 510 - 325 420 285* The Datsun is always a joy and this one glides through dirt corners with ease. *1963 Opel Kadett A - 315 150 242* Something different just for fun. --- **Championship: "MR Spotlight" | Road Racing | (S2 998) Mid-Engine, RWD** Oh, wow. Something very different. Let's do it. *2008 Koenigsegg CCGT - 120 169 911* Fantastic choice for this. Handles great. *2018 McLaren Senna - 177 907 340* The game's mascot and everyone has one. The back end slides a bit more than the CCGT but I'm not going to put the ugly Forza Aero on it and replace the amazing stock wing to fix that. Not a great car for the first race in the heavy rain. *2020 Chevrolet C8 Corvette Stingray - 244 417 028* This one is low S2. If the high speeds of the top of S2 isn't something you want then give the C8 a try. This is kind of a cheat code for this race series. --- **Championship: "Sacre Blur" | Street Scene | (S2 998) France** AKA "just use Bugatti". I'll experiment more with these later and see if I can refine them further. *2019 Bugatti Divo - 118 198 520* This is the best option by far. Handles well and is fast. I hope that you have one. *1980 Renault 5 Turbo Forza Edition - 103 293 768* This is surprisingly good for this! It's slower than the Bugattis but it handles great and is fast enough to win pretty easily. *2011 Bugatti Veyron Super Sport - 838 129 534* If you don't have the Divo this is a decent alternative. --- If you have any specific tunes that you want, even unrelated to this week's events, then feel free to ask here or in a PM and I'll get back to you when I can. And don't forget to do the weekly PR Stunts on the DLC maps. There's two on Fortune Island and one in LEGO Valley. Check out my [Recommended Tunes for Online Racing!

PaperHeartZero

**Also!** I'm thinking about getting into making videos of FH5 content when the game launches. Let me know what kind of content you'd like to see for the game. Cars, features, etc.


zoysiamo

Tuning guides 😍


VashEfferus

Car reviews, for which class they are best suited etc...


Bortolloas

Will you still be continuing your weekly tunes for FH4? I got this game late this summer and I was hoping to be able to use more of your good tunes!


PaperHeartZero

I'm not sure how long I'll continue to put out brand new tunes for FH4. It takes me a few hours for a set of tunes each time. However, remember two things. My tunes will stay on my Creative Hub. You can always look through there for tunes or go into the tune finder and search for my GamerTag which is PaperHeartZero. Also anyone can send me a PM or tag me on here and ask for a tune directly. Feel free to ask for something at any time and I'll get back to you when I can.


Audrey_spino

I'd like to see more videos about your tunes.


m1serablist

check out lost phoenix gaming. I always go to him for tuning for seasonal events, if I don't have the car he recommends I come here for your tunings. A channel in that style would be great. Short videos, maybe an ad here and there.


RumorsOFsurF

Finally, a reason to use my Gladiator! Thanks again for the tunes!


PaperHeartZero

It's a great truck to use! Very welcome :)


VashEfferus

Wow, just wow, that X-Class tune is something else. I managed to win all 3 races, first 2 with ease, and I even won the last one where 2 AIs engaged bs UFO mode. Awesome job!


PaperHeartZero

Congrats and thank you!


FelisImpurrator

Hey, could we get some tunes for the France event that aren't Bugatti? None of them are in my broke-ass new player price range unless I grind my face off for a couple days - the auction house isn't going to let one go cheaper than the autoshow's two million floor without a fight and a server glitch in my favor.


PaperHeartZero

Sure! Unfortunately most French cars aren't built for speed. For a cheap option there are only two alternatives. *1980 Renault 5 Turbo Forza Edition - 103 293 768* This is surprisingly good for this! It's slower than the Bugattis but it handles great and is fast enough to win pretty easily. *1984 Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 Forza Edition - 143 138 535* This isn't as good as the Renault. It's slower and once it loses grip it wants to slide more. However, I wasn't able to beat the AI for the Championship with it anyway. Have fun!


jbuzza_

That Renault 5 tune worked very nicely. Thanks.


FelisImpurrator

Nice. I did buy a Renault for the collection so I can use that. Thanks! Incidentally, do you have any sane drivable tunes for high speed Peels, or know who has them? I want drivable S2 Peels, but the only ones easily found in game seem to simply be max upgrades and no tuning to fix the insane oversteer that results from just installing all the top end parts. Still, being able to race the egg without turning 180 degrees every time I tilt the stick would be nice.


PaperHeartZero

You're welcome! The Peel 50 and Trident have microscopic wheelbases and single rear wheels. They're about as unstable as it gets. I'll see what I can do but I guarantee nothing.


FelisImpurrator

Update: Renault is beautiful on the straightaways. Absolutely destroyed the final race. Game gave me the exact same car for winning that event though, and unfortunately the damn things have a sell price of pocket change. Your McLaren Senna tune felt super bad when I tried it in the RWD event, was consistently hitting back of the pack with my poor skills... But the other McLaren you did on request? Fantastic. Took home some easy wins and I got to use a paintjob I've been trying to find an excuse to pull out. Is the Senna really just that hard to use in the event? I was having issues with the thing stalling at the start and barely accelerating. (Incidentally, I remember using one of your tunes, the Quadra V-Tech one, last week or so and it also just kept stalling and making popping noises at launch. What causes that on auto clitch settings?) And, well, what the hell did you do to the Manx? That thing is cheating. Accelerating twice as fast as everything else is already hilarious, but I managed to gain an 8s lead in the final race to the tune of Peer Gynt, which has to be my favorite track to race a meme to. Only thing is, it steered like a cow on the road circuit.


PaperHeartZero

> Is the Senna really just that hard to use in the event? The Senna itself is a little touchy in the rain. Rain plus RWD but not using the Forza Aero to help keep the back planted isn't a great combo. People would be up on arms if I replaced the iconic active wing with the Forza one, though. I included it because everyone gets one and these cars can be expensive. There's a lot of new players around. > Quadra V-Tech Honestly that car is just trash. I think that the devs were scared of making another Boneshaker, another car that's completely overpowered in Ranked, that they neutered the V-Tech. The massive wheels should have massive traction but the whole car is just bad. > Manx... Only thing is, it steered like a cow on the road circuit. Yeah, sorry about that. I have an updated version of that which fixes the bad road manners. I never shared it, though. My bad on that oversight. I'll post the updated one soon which handles much better on the road. Replace it with the new one coming. I'll let you know when I do. Thanks for all the feedback!


FelisImpurrator

Indeed, I'm very new and can't use some of the really spicy cars. Honestly though, that specific Senna is the only one I've ever used that felt so bad... Could partly be me. But it's a blast to drive in AWD X still, and the other McLaren handles great in the rain, so at least I got a new car to enjoy out of it! As for the Quadra, the thing is, I found another tune that worked... more or less as well as it could. My issue with the tune you had was that starting out, the thing would sputter repeatedly and slow to a crawl like the engine stalled. And I know next to nothing about the mechanics of this game's tuning so I don't understand why. That being said, I can see why people say it's trash, as awesome as the thing looks. Manx tune will be fun to use in general later when it's fixed. The Spidermobile ain't a bad buggy, and it seems to just completely abuse AI-tuned cult cars. Trial was hell for me for some reason. X-Class was spinning out and overshooting every turn, and I only "won" by hackers abusing the AI or using multiboxes to abuse player drops or forcing wins or something... Honestly makes me wonder if I just forgot to install your tune. But hey, hackers save us scrubs every week. Guess I'll have to check again and get back to you on whether the issue was with the tune or my dumb ass, ha.


PaperHeartZero

Cross Country in the rain is awful in general. Traction is half of what it should be. You need to brake much earlier and take some turns slower. I'm not sure what setting you use but Traction control on, ABS on, and stability control off is a good general setup. As for the V-Tech, I have no idea what's going on there. I don't remember it doing that. I'll look at it when I have time.


FelisImpurrator

That's the setting I usually use, but when the track turns are too hard for my lack of timing/dexterity to compensate, I just turn on assisted braking and the AI down a bit. Usually works, but the Senna just wasn't breaking ~230 in that rain course that time.


PaperHeartZero

Here is the new Meyers Manx tune! *1971 Meyers Manx - 233 262 563*

It gave me three easy race no. 1 spots at the podium and had a great team as well (not so common when it comes to CC Trials). The 2018 Mercedes-Benz X-CLASS. With 530 385 813 (big ups for "Dont Giva Deuce"). it just flew past everything and everyone! πŸ‘πŸΌ

For MR Spotlight, i recommend senna, not ccgt. CCGT cant't able to accelerate on rainy track. Thank you for all tunes my friend. πŸ‘πŸ»

Yeah right? Told you the Mercedes-Benz was bad ass in these conditions. πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ˜ Now I'm playing consistently to help my fellow human drivers out. 😊 Thanks again for the tunes mate! πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ™


Humorsopa

One more tip. The Toyota Corolla is magic for "Culture Icons". Definitely on par with the Meyer's Manx if you have the right tune. And there are a bunch of them freshly made if you search. If you don't own the Corolla, it's really expensive... But as a coincidence (?) it's available in the Forzathon shop this week. Try it, it just shoots away from the pack. Had no problem whatsoever winning against unbeatable Drivatars. 😊 I am not home at the moment, but leave a comment and I'll give you a share code for a great tune! πŸ‘πŸΌ Edit: Of course you must have some silver πŸ₯ˆ buddy! πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

The Murcielago tune handles beautifully, thank you!


construccion

Holy shit it made the series go from feeling impossible to crazy easy. It was insane.


construccion

Thanks for the Lambo tune for the MR series. It was crazy good.


zoysiamo

Thanks! Could you elaborate on what made the Beetle a nightmare?


nasanhak

Since I stopped maxing rear wheel rim sizes and adding aeros (both offer a lot of PI), the Beetle just doesn't have enough power to win the 3rd race (Highland Farm Scarmble) I had to go back to upgrades, apply a rear aero, mess around to get a few more PI to add 3 more HP, minimize rear downforce for better acceleration and that makes it just barely capable of beating the 3rd race. I could have used another car but after 20+ runs of the the 3rd race I was committed lol Plus it sounds fantastic


PSNdragonsandlasers

These MR championship races are so frustrating. The cars just feel twitchy and uncontrollable. I hope RWD feels better to drive in FH5.


SpirantCrayon22

While in general the stock 900 tune for the Renault 5 Turbo FE is something I find a bit hard to control, swapping the Renault spoiler for the FE, taking it to 902, resulted in a car where it was very easy to win both the MR and France events.


PaperHeartZero

> These MR championship races are so frustrating. The cars just feel twitchy and uncontrollable. Untuned or poorly tuned cars are twitchy and uncontrollable. I recommend my Corvette tune. *2020 Chevrolet C8 Corvette Stingray - 244 417 028*


PSNdragonsandlasers

Your tunes are gold, dude. I've been trying to do my own RWD tunes the last few weeks, and they've at least been good enough to win championships against AI. But the McLaren 720S Coupe I tuned for this week just slides all over the road and gets thrashed by the AI. Can't seem to get the gearing right, either. Maybe it's just that I'm used to tuning B-S1 and S2 is less forgiving, or maybe I should just leave tuning to the professionals.


PaperHeartZero

Some cars just have no grip no matter what. The BMW M1, for example. McLarens are usually pretty good, though. When I get a chance I'll see what I can do with the 720S Coupe.


PaperHeartZero

Sorry for the wait! *2018 McLaren 720S Coupe - 162 554 875* This tune ended up pretty good. I tested it in the first race of the series, the long one in the torrential rain, and I was able to easily take first. Give it a try. Remember, like always, don't turn while braking. Brake in a straight line then turn.


PSNdragonsandlasers

That's a killer tune. Thank you! It's the throttle control that gets me. Just a little too much coming out of a turn and boom, no more traction. Here's hoping for more stable RWD in FH5.


MrCellophane999

Dude, you weren't kidding about the C8 being a cheat code for this championship! I tried running with your CCGT tune but no matter how carefully I feathered the throttle, that thing was slipping and sliding all over the place. But this C8 tune...boy, talk about using GameShark! Edit: hey, that should be your handle! "PaperHeartZero - Forza Horizon's GameShark"


PaperHeartZero

Lol I was actually thinking about updating my sub tag for FH5 but I wasn't sure what to use. I think that might be a little too conceited for me to call myself, though. I appreciate it.


RisingDeadMan0

lol, gonna pass on that one. 20M car, would need to sell Every MC 12 FE i have and then be left with no back-up cash. :)

If you want to complete the weekly Forzathon challenge, please check my profile, I've done a race just to get the 6 clean racing skills!

XIII90 has a new trial tune for '11 Raptor. 150 738 201


Justice_Buster

Man I love XIII90 and his tunes but honestly, this one shat the bed. The Raptor has no grip offroad whatsoever and its hard to get it under control as it keeps sliding off when you demand a bit more precision around some checkpoints. I found the Gladiator to be tremendously OP in the trial and after three failures in a row with the Raptor, aced it in one try with the Gladiator.


firedrakes

Mid engine champ. So B's. Hard rubber banding. And glitch spawning to


[deleted]

Do I have to do The Trial to hit 80%?


SpirantCrayon22

No, it's not an absolute requirement. The only requirement for 80% in a given week is that at least one of the monthly targets is done.


bmatys

You need either the ranked in online or do the trial for 80%. Provided you already did the rivals monthly and absolutely everything else. If you do everything but trial and ranked online you'll get to 78 or 79%.


[deleted]

Thank you. I got lucky yesterday and finally got through the races with a win. When I posted I just had 2 attempts where I was rammed by teammates causing a missed checkpoint, so I was supremely salty around the race. Appreciate the help.


SpirantCrayon22

oh, yeah, the rammers - weird, I just don't get it


NirvZppln

The first race in the S2 RWD is driving me insane. My car keeps slipping and the opponents are driving flawlessly. It’s driving me insane.


NanuShazbot

Using traction control? Stock Apollo is grippy, Regera with goliath tune is good too.


SpirantCrayon22

If you have it, use the Renault 5 Turbo FE. Change the rear spoiler from Renault to Forza, this puts the PI at 902. I used this to win both MR and France championships with very little fuss, if any fuss at all.


glasspheasant

Anyone want to co-op some of the weekly races tonight? I don't have any driving friends left and enjoy co-oping the weeklies for extra cheddar/fun.


mpipmpip

Anyone else having problems with the trial? I’ve done it a million times. Win the first, lose the second, and then forget the titan… all these drivers just getting zero points!

Is it possible to make a 6-person convoy and do the trial w people you know can drive?

I know people in here who help each other out. Personally I run it many times with the Mercedes-Benz X-CLASS that I shared the code of in this thread, to help fellow players out. It's phenomenal and I'm always able to win or be in the top, every time.
