My brother is a hard core sim racer. And he started playing Forza H 4 just for the fun of it/ Now he is addicted and it is ALL he plays/ Is it really THAT good?

Ah of course!! That’s probably why. I was so over-eager in my clicking that I forced the restoration and paid for it. Urgh what a numpty
Forza Horizon 4 is the definitive open-world racing game ever made. Part arcade, part sim, all amazing. This is perhaps the best racing game of this decade, if not of all time. It is that good.

I did it!!
Thanks for the suggestions. Used the Aston Vulcan to get the wind farm one, and the Jeep Trailcat to (eventually!) hit the last one on the farmhouse.
Woohoo!! Damn right it gave me a “sense of pride and accomplishment” - who’d have thought?
(side-note: amazed to realize that EA made that comment that got them a record 660k+ Reddit downvotes almost exactly a year ago. How time flies)

Beauts. Especially like the 2nd one. And the B&W shot too - definitely going to try some of those while it’s still winter.
So, do I have to take an Xbox screenshot of the photo if I plan on sharing my photos on here?
Yeah, the whole image sharing thing is a complicated confusing mess. I haven’t been able to find my Photomode shots on my PC at all - I honestly don’t think they’re saved locally at all. I think they all get put onto the ForzaMotorsport.net site. From there I had to download them to my PC and then upload them using the XBox app to be able to add them to my Activity Stream and share them with the group. (And also upload some of them here.)
On top of that, after 50-odd pictures saved in my Photomode Gallery in the game I got error messages to say that there was no more space available for any more pictures and I had to delete some.
Way too much effort. Now I just set the picture up in Photomode, hide the UI, and take a Windows Print Screen or use the Nvidia screenshot tool if I remember to turn it on before I start playing. That’s why most of my recent images in the screenshots thread don’t have the Forza 4 logo on them. The other thing I started experimenting with last night was taking shots using the Drone Mode - nice for wider angles and scenery shots, but none of the Photomode tools and settings to play with.

Yay thank you!! For some reason I struggled to find the photos on the Forza site, but have them now. Time to go spam the screenshot thread

I’d be down for a little “follow you around and let you laugh at my poor race skills” tonight perhaps? May only be a little late though - around 9PM. The big Route Creator update should be out by then, so maybe if you’re on earlier, see if you can make a nice route to try it out and we can try co-op racing it a couple of times and get it onto to the Popular Routes this Week list? 
On the subject of the October/Route Creator update…
