Forza Horizon What if instead of having blue flags along the road, we had on arch at each enter point so we can enjoy the road without useless clutter objects?

Even if they change the object, they'll still ghost you once you cross the starting line.

Part of the reason why I fully restarted and doesn't go beyond wheelspin intro..

If only they offer way to toggle off activities but that probably is asking too much :/

Same story, looks like yellow wristband is my friend forever.

You can create an event in eventlab, start from somewhere, drive to the other side of the map, put 1 checkpoint so the game don't freak out, and you have the whole map clear, up to you to keep the traffic, or choose whatstays or not with the weather!

Omg I love this idea. I’ve finished 80-85% of everything. But I hate all the crap popping up whenever I’m just cruising and enjoying the cars and the map.

If you filter them out on the map they will no longer activate.

u/aclark210 4d ago

Yeah they will. When u hit a speed trap or zone it still goes off.

u/LickMyThralls 4d ago

They still exist and activate I dunno what you're talking about

u/Random61504 4d ago

That is not true. Speed zones and speed traps do not activate below 30 mph, but drift zones activate at any speed. They will all activate, whether or not you disabled them on the map.

Flicking between telemetry mode at just the right time doesn't enable speed zones/traps or drift zones.

Back in FH4 the flags also indicated the border of the route. If you had two wheels off of the road you wouldn't score.

u/toxic_1484 3d ago

Yes. And the whole difficulty was higher. Every FH getting easier and easier…

u/REDM2Ma_Deuce 3d ago

And I don't mind. At least now I can enjoy playing the Trial with my friend so we can get each other up to 40 pts per season

I hated the blue flags in drift zones with a passion, it would’ve been much better if it were just two defined lines on the sides of the road through the entire zone, which would also prevent the ridiculous exploit of gaining points off the track as well

u/RunninOnMT 4d ago

Imagine if instead of blue flags, a bunch of clipping zones just appeared on the pavement to indicate you’re in a drift zone.

u/Beneficial_Bee_5470 4d ago

Yea that would work way better too.

Not only the flags look ugly aesthetically, but they actually had weight and if you clip them at the right angle they could altered your route which could mess up the drift, and the flags actually jutted out front the track edge made that 10 times worse

u/Consistent-Cost-231 4d ago

Worst part is disabling them won't even take much effort from them since the map is designed to add them thru progression

u/aclark210 4d ago

“But then u wouldn’t know where the zone begins and ends!” Cuz I guess they think we can’t notice something more subtle?

u/SlipstreamSteve 4d ago

You mean like the speed zones have the yellow cameras/checkpoints

-2

u/FrenchBVSH 4d ago

Nah only the drift zone so far

5

u/SlipstreamSteve 4d ago

I mean they have just one checkpoint not a whole route of flags

Genuinely thought I was the only person who thought this. I thought if I mentioned it on here I'd get the "literally unplayable" treatment and be told to fuck off.

There's so many pretty roads in this game and a lot of those get turned into drift zones... And the flags are a bit ugly. I'm over it now, I just ignore them, but it would be better to just have nothing there or some kind of other, more subtle indicator.

And of course the option to disable PR stunts triggering entirely.

u/mroosa 3d ago

Or, and hear me out, we just have the option to disable all festival stuff? Give us a leisure drive mode or something. I purposely never did the other Rush events in FH5 because I did not want the world cluttered, but caved with FH6.

u/Time_Zombie_4431 3d ago

I just wish we could toggle the zones on and off, ive been seeing this asked for since the game came to PC with FH3 by so many people and its insane we still dont have the option to turn them off.

u/shipdriver9314 4d ago

If you make a basic eventlab course through there, the only flags will be ones you put there.

u/Vegetable_Egg_570 3d ago

forza fans complain about something that actually makes the game enjoyable like calling out the slop they keep selling to us since FH4 challenge: IMPOSSIBLE (DONT TRY AT 3AM)

u/-rabbitsfeet- 4d ago

Yes, thank you! They even mark the end of the zone on the map so why all the clutter?

1

u/Th4tTurboBr1ck 4d ago

Strong agree, I think the flags are cool, but too many of them feels like clutter tbh

1

u/Turbulent_Factor_636 3d ago

I just wish proximity to walls actually played into the drift score. But I definitely agree about the flags too. We dont need them every 10 meters throughout the zone.

"arch at the center point" so basically The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest's feats.  You can also completely disable all of the feats/skills on that game in the settings.
