Forza Horizon 5 - Mexico

Digital X · 4 Nov 2021 at 21:41

@Zeebedy Just ran a lightbleed test, it's not too bad tbh. It's a rebranded Samsung panel IIRC, so was pretty cheap. I tried to capture the output but the phone camera makes it look really bad.

Specs:

Resolution - 3840 x 1200
Refresh Rate - 120Hz
Response Time - 6.9ms
FreeSync - Yes
Panel Type - VA

I am looking to switch to the Dell S2721DGFA, or 3 of them. It's a nice monitor but there's better options out there for me atm.

@Digital X thanks for taking the time to do that.

I only ask as I have an electriQ panel and just wanted to see what the quality spectrum was like. For me its a great monitor at the price point. Although I have a different model, but the still a VA panel mine is.

I will indeed join. Not sure how to join a club

The X5 welcome bonus is a beast. 220mph and off road capable too. It’s seems a 4x4 is pretty essential for exploring Mexico!

What driving view do you guys prefer?

Personally I like the "in front of" view, the only sacrifice with that is that when going through thick grass etc, you cant see ****.

Always cockpit view, even better when I can increase fov and adjust height. Even F1 2021 is cockpit for me, anything else feels too... Silly? Odd I know.

Third person for me, behind the car.

I always use the cockpit view unless am off-roading as it's horrible for that.

CaptainRAVE · 4 Nov 2021 at 23:10

Chase cam for me mostly.

Not seen it come in ** just came in and approved**

It's time

When does it unlock on steam? I have the premium edition

eekfek · 5 Nov 2021 at 00:14

It seems to have a problem with the G923, keeps asking to reconnect

Uncle_Gravy · 5 Nov 2021 at 00:18

Looks like it was a bad mistake getting it on steam, the early access won't unlock until 4am i'm reading

Digital X · 5 Nov 2021 at 00:27

@eekfek Does the same with my PS4/PS5 controller, I can hold down enter and it go into a connect/reconnect/please attach controller frenzy.

Keyboard for now.

PS4 controller works fine, checked official forums and most wheels are borked

I'm using Ds4windows and at least that works.

Digital X · 5 Nov 2021 at 00:32

That's odd, I tried DS4Windows (the Ryochan one) and no dice... wonder what I'm doing wrong.

eekfek · 5 Nov 2021 at 00:36

restart after disconecting wheel and it picked up the PS4 controller straight away.

Digital X · 5 Nov 2021 at 00:47

Nope, that hasn't worked. If I hold the analog sticks in left/right all the way it "flickers" between the keyboard and controller like it's being rejected... I'll go ask on the forums.

Edit: Got it working! If anyone has this issue follow the steps here:
