When you select Blueprints in the Creative Hub, there's a search function. You can filter by custom routes only.
How? I can't find that option.
I half expected there to be some kind of pop up / tutorial, nope, then i expected tge route creator to be in the menu, nope.
It's a bit hidden away, i can see people missing it completely.
Pause the game and go to the Creative Hub tab. The big center option is Blueprints. Select that, then press either start or select (don't remember which) to search, and there should be a "type of route" parameter (not sure of the exact name) which you can set to "custom only".
Thanks, does it give you a visual representation of the custom route? Or do you have to drive it to see if it's any good?
Is there anyway of seeing just routes? Or are they tied to blueprints? I.e can i setup a new blueprint using someone elses custom route?
No, unfortunately the routes are tied to the blueprints, but so far most I've seen are Anything Goes. And you can't visualize the routes beforehand, which admittedly kind of sucks.
So that pretty much makes route sharing moot then, shame, would have been nice to be able to browse routes and make your own blueprint from it.
Is it me or can car physics become bugged during a race? It happened to me twice driving a Senna and a Viper ACR in a long circuit race, both times on the last laps, the car just become uncontrollable, they hardly turn and skid all over the place...
I'm playing with simulation damage on, but I don't crash into anything, this is on PC and using a wireless DS4 controller with DS4Windows, although I doubt it has anything to do with it.

So there should be tire wear if it's a long race ? I don't know if it work in this game as there's no pits to change the tires.
Check in the telemetry (might have to enable the swap Anna/Telemetry options in the controller settings or press T on PC).
Not seeing the route beforehand in kinda understandable, but not even seeing the route length is asinine. Like ok there are three laps but are those 5km laps, or 50km ones?
Edit:
I've seen some weird stuff such as cars bouncing "unrealistically" in some very specific sections of a track, but I attributed that to either long suspend and resume sessions, or just very specific combinations of cars/tracks (AI was suffering from the same issue).
That gives you all the blue print races. At least on my game it does.
Just says custom. Not custom "routes"
I thought those were all the stock route blueprint races and not just the ones from the route creator?
Hmm. I'd figure Rally Monsters would be most doable there. Like I said, I did notice a slight increase in difficulty but not to the extent you have. Not sure what to say about it. Maybe use a lower class car tier? Sorry, man.
Nope, I absolutely got reset by the time the patch hit. Was probably on 24hrs on Mixer by the time the patch hit, and when I logged on tonight I only had two wheelspins. Normally by now I'd have been up to 30.
Not happy.
Ok thanks
Would like a more robust search and preview system though and agree it should have been front and center and not hidden in blueprints.
you should be able to create a route from the menu and started from any race start position on the map without having to go to the race
Yeah I'll figure it out, just seems odd.
The worse thing is I did it with the bowler in a blueprint and was faster then the AI. Just in the default race setting they are faster.
They said it would be this way from the beginning. There's most likely a technical reason for it.
True
Hopefully in fh5 it will be more refined
I never looked at any of the previews and just read about it and I always assumed that you would just draw your route from a map screen and not drive so I assumed it was a menu system.
when they said drive your car I thought they meant there was a little car on the map LOL
Odd they don't use the drone view for making the routes.
Would be easy, a bit like Forge in Halo.

Had a nice run on Sunday morning with two other drivers. We got to round 3 with five minutes left and realised it just wasn't going to happen so we sat on the cliff by the danger sign looking at the sunset and spamming horn sounds.
The patch notes state:
I couldn't find a graphic setting with that exact name yesterday. Did they refer to "dynamic geometry quality" by any chance, or am I missing something? I haven't looked at the dynamic optimization tab because I turned that functionality off.
Seems like something that absolutely should be there.
I only had a quick go at the route creator yesterday and was immediately turned off by the fact the game doesn't appear to redraw the route based on checkpoint placement but instead seems to take your exact driven path - which leads to a messy looking route where the blue line on the minimap isn't covering the width of the road. It also seems to use your input data as the suggestive line instead of recalculating the line properly, so it represents the proper racing line. Now I only have played a lap into the mandatory track test race before publishing and never finished it, so it may be that all this stuff happens after testing and before publication. Does it?

I almost always have a mad set of people doing Forzathon live events with me. They seem to get completed so fast that I usually struggle to get more than 3 attempts at a challenge anyway
Having some issues with this weeks Spring challenges.
Hitting 2 million for skills is one thing but I've done the sprint race in the Volkswagon about four times and won and got nothing. Is there some bug/glitch?

Did you do the exact sprint race that is asked of you to do, or just any sprint race (which doesn't count).
Please don't tell me they need to be done in order because that's counterintuitive to me...
Yeah. The Forza Sprint race.
LOL glad I wasn't the only one confused by this. But yep, confirming that you have to do them in order.
Nah, that's how it seems to work period. It's kinda understandable that it would work that way for off-road stuff, especially cross country madness, but for road racing it's pretty lame. The "blue line" not being "clean" is hardly a deal-breaker for me, but the drivatars being drunk because of it is just plain disappointing.
Hopefully this can be improved in a patch. It would also be neat if they could add options such as browsing/searching custom routes when creating a blueprint. It feels like a missed opportunity to be forced to draw a custom route if you want to build a custom event (and don't want to stick with the super-short premade routes). Some of those custom blueprints may be based on great tracks but with e.g. car restrictions that don't fit you.
Edit: Ideally, there should be a "fit to roads" option when creating a blueprint, so that people could force "road following" if they want to.
The game is amazing, the moment I remembered to turn HDR On on my TV felt like some next gen shit.
Also, its really addictive, I cant play a lot lately, but this game always stole 1 extra hour of sleep from me when I try to play from 11:30 PM to 00:00.
I'm terrible on anything less arcade than burnout, so I really dont know how to pass people withouth crashing them, but Im still having fun.

Not that I know of.
The map I had a look at the other day was missing the one to the middle at the bottom edge of the map (in the river) and another icon was partially obscured by the playground icon at the railyard. Besides. I thought I was missing two boards in the end, too, but it turned out a very similar placement of two sets of two boards to the west of the great lake through me off while comparing image and ingame-map. Those two sets are very close to one another.
Right, and even if you don't need it for racing, rewind is very useful for speed traps, danger signs, and especially some of the trickier placed boars.
Are you driving automatic? I don't know, I've never had a car outpace me unnaturally. In fact, most are quite easy to outpace, providing you have the same (or better) car.
No, and I'm not sure if saving replays has ever been a thing in the Horizon series. I know that I've been disappointed about that before.
Nothing specific has been announced yet, I think.
What confuses me is how do you people see all the weekly challenges at once? I though that they were only revealed sequentially?
You can highlight the tile, then use the right stick to scroll through the challenges
Yes, i usually don't have an issue though, just this one race that seems to have given the AI booster rockets.
I recommend learning to shift manually, it gives you a lot more control, it's easier to accelerate when you need it, and it's fun after you get used to it.
On the Titan, you also need to stick with it in case the AI crashes. I was running behind for awhile but one of the jumps sent the guy ahead of me flying.
And I'd get a car and prioritize launch and acceleration over speed. The only stretches where you push top speeds are when you're flying downhill anyway lol. You want your car to bolt out of the turns as quickly as possible.

Thanks! I had missed one of the ones in the trainyard !Not that I know of.

Nope, all dry.
I'm playing with the midset that FH is simcade handling I actually forgot about tire wear, you have a point... it's still strange the tires would wear out in a 60-80km race, plus the change from drivable to undrivable is almost instant. I wish there was a hud for damage, i'll check the telemery as you said. Thanks.
This has not happened to me so far, I've only seen AI break late into a corner and fly out into a field, which is always fun :)
It's all good. I had the same issue first week I was trying to get them done.
Glad y'all are getting use out of it! He seems open to requests as well in the comments if anyone is looking for anything specific
Not specific to this race, more in general but I definitely feel this frustration playing AI on expert. If you don't get into first ASAP or are constantly bumping 1st/2nd letting them know you're right on their tail, they'll be uncatchable a third-halfway into the race.
I've had the needle pinned on a straightaway doing 210ish in a 720s and a murcielago went by me like I was pedaling a tricycle
