Does anyone else dislike Japan’s map and already miss Mexico?

I had to delete my previous post because of toxic replies. You can disagree with me, but I don’t want to deal with insults, slurs, or people calling me a troll just because I dislike the map.

Yes, folks. I’ve been playing Forza Horizon 6 since launch on Wednesday, but for some reason I just can’t get into the map.

I’m not saying I love deserts. Mexico had its problems. But at least FH5 had bright lighting, a vivid skybox, better visibility and a stronger festival atmosphere.

FH6 often feels grey, dark green, wooded and visually heavy. So yes, Mexico had too much sand, but replacing that with too much dark forest, hills, narrow roads and desaturated lighting is not automatically better.

Tokyo City adds a unique vibe to the series with its vibrant urban environment, but the rest of the terrain feels too rugged for my taste. Honestly, I had much more fun driving my Hoonigan RS200 straight across Mexico from one end of the map to the other. Driving through Japan’s heavily wooded and hilly terrain is not fun for me. Visibility is also poor in those forests. I think Japan as a setting is generally overestimated, and while Mexico really had that festival atmosphere, Japan feels much farther from it. The skybox and color palette also feel very dull and desaturated.

There were two things I disliked about Forza Horizon 5: first, the map was excessively flat, which created a luck-based Eliminator mode where a good drop could crush everything; and second, the Accolade system made full completion almost impossible. While I’m happy that FH6 got rid of the Accolade nonsense, I still don’t like Japan because of the map design, the color palette, the narrow and winding roads, the densely wooded hills, and most importantly, the more unforgiving FH4-style drift system. Drifting was incredibly easy and enjoyable in FH5, but in FH6 it feels frustrating again.

As someone who generally believes Horizon games work best in more exotic and tropical locations, I was skeptical about Japan from the beginning, and the game has mostly confirmed my concerns so far.

Does anyone else feel the same way?

Landed it!

The Rimac(s) are not the greatest for racing in my opinion, but they work great for stunts!

We get it. "Good bye Forza Horizon 5"

I think we all have had enough of the "goodbyes".

FH5 is not delisted yet but we thank you for posting here, but we will be removing any future goodbye posts.

Thank you for understanding.

Logitech G29/G920 RPM LEDs for Forza — Open Source Tool

Hey everyone,

I've been annoyed for a while that Forza doesn't natively light up the RPM LEDs on the G29/G920.

The Logitech SDK is broken with recent G HUB versions anyway, so I wrote a small open-source tool that bypasses all of that entirely.

---

## What it does

The tool reads the UDP telemetry stream that Forza broadcasts in real time and sends direct USB HID commands to the wheel to drive the 5 RPM LEDs.

LED behavior:

* Green → yellow → red as RPM increases

* All LEDs flash as you approach the limiter

---

## Supported games

* Forza Horizon 5

* Forza Horizon 6

* Forza Motorsport (2023)

---

## Supported wheels

* Logitech G29

* Logitech G920

---

## How to use

### 1. Enable telemetry in Forza

Go to:

`Settings → HUD and Gameplay → Data Out`

Set:

* Data Out: `ON`

* IP Address: `127.0.0.1`

* Port: `5607`

### 2. Plug in your wheel via USB

### 3. Run:

```bash

forza_wheel_leds.exe

```

That's it.

No G HUB.

No drivers.

No Python installation needed.

---

## First launch — Windows prompts

Since this is an unsigned `.exe` downloaded from the internet, Windows will show two one-time warnings:

### SmartScreen

Click:

`More info → Run anyway`

This only happens once.

### Windows Firewall

Windows may ask to allow network access.

Click:

`Allow`

The tool only listens on `127.0.0.1` (localhost).

It never connects to the internet.

After the first confirmation, the popup won't appear again.

---

## Configuration

Everything is configurable via `config.ini` (no recompilation needed):

```ini

udp_port = 5607

led_min_rpm_ratio = 0.65 ; first LED lights at 65% of redline

blink_rpm_ratio = 0.90 ; all LEDs blink above 90% of redline

blink_hz = 10

```

---

## Download

GitHub Releases:

Happy to answer questions 🙂​

FH6 Car Mastery/XP Farming Estate Builder

Following the huge success of v2 (Top 5 popular worldwide, now deprecated and deleted), I am releasing version 3 of my real estate.

Upgrades:

- Added ice cream ("Creamed" 1000 skill points each)

- Added log ("Lumberjack" 1000 skill points each)

- 12 times more number of trees in the map (60% of the map)

- Costs 100k less than v2 (399k vs 500k+)

Every 60 seconds you will be able to farm 5K XP and 10 car masteries (and spending them for cars with Super Wheelspin perk). Consequently, by spending car masteries, you also farm XP and even more Super Wheelspins.

PS: use cars with higher multiplier (x7/x10 instead of default x5) or with faster multiplier.

I hope it will help you to progress faster :)

Share code is: 193451274

(sometimes search code is buggy and says that it doesn't find the map. if that's the case, look for Trending/New and Trending, you will find it there. compare the photo in FH6 with the one in this post, download it, like it and follow my FH6 profile for future map improvements/upgrades)

UPDATE:

LOOKS LIKE F-150 RAPTOR R 'WELCOME PACK' IS THE BEST CAR TO USE TO FARM MASTERIES AND XP.

The Car mastery of this car is unbelievable:

  • 10% more Skill Score from Air Skills
  • 10% more Skill Score from Kangaroo Skills
  • 15% more Skill Score from Crash Landing Skills
  • 15% more Skill Score from Wreckage Skills
  • 15% more Skill Score from Wrecking Ball Skills
  • Skill Multiplier increase to 7x (instead of 5x default)
  • 20% more Skill Score from Ultimate Skill Chain Scores
  • 20% more Skill Score from Combo Skills
  • Skill Multiplier builds 3.0 times as fast
  • You earn an extra 25% XP from Skills banked while driving the car

I tested and I literally make 5k XP and 10 masteries in 20 seconds now LOL
