It's says something about the quality of the video when you have someone watch it from start to finish despite being a mechanic and having played every horizon game
One crucial one I think you missed: tyre compounds. Slicks, semi-slicks, rally (especially the confusion on how rally is effectively a type of ROAD tyre in Horizon), offroad and the generic compounds below it like street, sport and vintage.
Listen up kids! The HokiHoshi guides are top notch. Started tuning with Hoki’s help in FH3, built up to make competitive rival type tunes, and this video is STILL helpful
PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD TUNES AND DO NOT USE AUTOMATIC UPGRADE. Tune your car for yourself and gradually learn how to do it. Tuning/upgrading (if you know how to do it) is definetely the best part of the game.
It is definitely satisfying when you gain enough experience to drive a car you've just thrown 50-100k worth of upgrades on. Then be able to feel what's wrong with the setup & adjust it to suit your style. Though it's worth noting for new players that you do have to grind & experiment a fair bit to gain that experience.
I've only done that 2 times once for the street hunter c8 and once when nomatter what I did my truck of choice I just couldn't win with. Beyond that I prefer to upgrade and tune myself
Mate tuning is a headache. I just hate that there are so many races where you need to drive certain cars. Like ugh now i have to buy the car, upgrade it, put a nice design on it and tune it only to use it for this one race and after that i don't even like the car so i wasted 2-3 hours on just one car and one race
This man is the Bob Ross of simracing lol. Honestly very helpful for forza newbs like myself. Part 2 maybe on handling differences between the various engine / drivetrain combos with beginner fh5 car recommendations? 🤞
im 99% self-taught when it comes to tuning in forza but the other 1% is what i learned from hoki and its that 1% that makes me the excellent tuner i am today
I always tuned every car myself whether it was good or not, never really cared cause it was mine. But now, I ForzaTune all my cars lol. But hey, I'm a purist for the most part at least. Didn't used to be honestly but I am now and it's a great feeling.
I don't usually watch Forza guides since some of the fun to me is figuring things out for myself but now with a few hundred hours in FH5 I'm interested to see what some guides recommend
I started playing fh5 5 days ago and my friend told me lots of tips and tricks and the first car i tuned to fit me is a mazda mx5 miata with a score close to x class and i made it a speed demon (388km/h) and i put a awd drivetrain for the great launch,accel,off road and handling also i fiddled with the gearing to make it as fast as possible and for it to handle to my liking. That miata is the first car i made that drives well on offroad and on road and i got 260k score without a skill song and im working on getting a hoonicorn v2 to get as much score as possible and i got a mercedes benz c-smth forza edition with speed skill bonus that im working towards maxing
Can you make a guide to in game terms. Like how do rivals work? How to create a convoy? Good ways to meet new players. What are the FH5 series and what kind of fun things to get into/try for newer horizon players.
Another great video and explication. I really hope more people will see your guides because they're helpful. No jokes thanks to you i'm spending a lot of time with my babies cars to make them like i want they to be. By the way i would really appreciate if you can do a guide for RWD Rally cars, i've been trying for months but i don't get it and always struggle to win a race. I'm sure doing it wrong but with your explanations i'm certain i'd do better.
Livery can also mean the paint job on a train. For an example, the Flying Scotsman has been in several liveries during its existence like BR green or LNER green.
Im not dumb, i know whats the difference between a steering wheel and a flywheel: obviously, a steering wheel is for driving a car and a flywheel is for driving planes... 😂😂😂
I believe the engine can be mid mounted if its in the front also (MF). The engine has to be between the front wheels and back wheels like the midship. I think some saabs and renaults have this set up. Im not 100% sure though , i heard it a while back
@HokiHoshi what is the meaning of words "Off the line" , "Grip" and "All Round" ( keyword-1 ) in search section of Downloading Tunes(find tunes) in FH5 differ from eachother ? Which is best in what scenarios? . pls explain
obviously i’m not hokihoshi but i am a car nut and avid player so i can try to answer! “Off the line” has to do mostly with launch and acceleration - how quickly the car gets up to speed from a stop. I think most tuners who focus on off the line are usually doing drag builds where getting up to high speeds as quickly as possible is the primary focus. They tend to be high torque with enough grip to the powered wheels to keep from spinning out when accelerating from a stop. I think some people will use “off the line” keywords for high acceleration builds in general, but they seem to primarily be for drag builds. I may be wrong on the exact usage though. “Grip” is a focus on handling and corners. A car with a dedicated grip build may not be able to reach the same top speeds as some power based builds, but will maintain grip and snappiness through corners, allowing the driver to slow down less and maintain higher speeds through turns that power builds may need to slow down more for in order to avoid loss of control. They usually feature lower weight, aero, wider more upgraded tires, and more focus in general on handling upgrades over speed. Grip builds are great for circuit racing, rally, or really any track or event with several turns, although imo (and i think HokiHoshi’s as well) grip builds are usually faster in the long run regardless of the event. If you have braking line turned on, a good grip build will allow you to keep on the throttle through SOME corners the game would suggest you let off or brake for. “All around” builds try to get the best of both grip and power/speed builds. Tuners attempt to both keep up enough grip to maintain speed through turns while making enough power to keep up in straights. These builds are solid for a lot of races, but in more open courses where there’s fewer turns they’ll outrun grip builds but be outpaced by power builds, and in tight circuit races like the ones through urban areas they will do better than pure power builds but likely be outperformed by grip builds. Hope this helps!
For me I couldn't understand this game. The fact that you can make ANY CAR go off roading or do anything you want, gives a bit too many options, I prefer some limitations.
@@ShawFujikawathey’re probably talking about the engine swap, and it is but the normal 2JZ isn’t. You can only get the 805hp race 2JZ out of the Camry stock car. Few Toyota cars get the normal 320hp 2JZ
Also ABS, TCS and ASM are called by the colloquial term 'driving aids'. they are named such because leaving them on is tantamount to let your driving experience have AIDS. You wanna rip those training wheels off pretty much instantly to avoid developing bad habits as this now forces you to drive the car correctly to stay on the road, thus naturally teaching you to use proper weight-shift braking/throttle control not to rely on a computer to make up for your mistakes as you keep making them. It'll hurt in the short term, esp ABS, but it'll make you faster before long as well as introducing you what's so addictive about car control. You drive with aids you're filtering away a lot of the experience by letting the car drive itself.
I haven’t played fh5 in MONTHS! Lost the excitement for me. I hate hot wheels expansion. We are grown ass men who want some bad ass street racing scenery. Sick drift spots, some good realistic circuits (like maple valley) and Nitrous. Underglow. Etc. If you are gonna go street race meets sim add that NFS underground aspect to a free roam map that features bA circuits as well. Maybe fuel consumption and tire wear for extra credits on long races

In French, both Rally and off-road tyres are called All-terrain. How's that for confusion ?
@@KuroAno rally and all terrain tires are basically the same.
@@ryze9153 In offroad maybe, but not on asphalt.
@@KuroAno you sure? Afaik, both of those tires are good all around.
@@ryze9153 Sure about that, All Terrain tires makes your car loose a lot of stability on asphalt.

what a great and neccessary video for gamers and this industry
I’ve been playing Forza since 2009, so don’t need this, but have to say this was very informative
Honestly this is a decent guide for understanding car basics and terms much less for Forza Horizon

I played all forza games from 1-4 but never 5. Bought it today and forgot all about cars since its been 4 years since i've played 🤣
3:50 I don't think any W-engine in-game is of this triple-inline "broadhead/arrowhead" configuration.
I have some idea of those letters in the end, but it was kinda too much at once to understand it all^^
Thanks bro. Easy to understand 👍🏾
this is video is almost relevant for real life too! lol
Sorry to correct you, but W engines are almost like 2x Vs, so not 3 lines, but 4... ;)
