Hey folks - thanks for bearing with me on this one taking so long to get out, and having some video/audio imperfections. I've been learning a new editing software and have been sick with covid the past 2 weeks so video work has been slow. Either way, hope you enjoy and find it helpful!
@@maddisonmad2710 best thing for rain is to just change tires. if you have Race semi slicks. a good exchange would be to swap out those for sport tires. or even rally. they grip much better in wet conditions. give them both a try
I'm glad you mentioned deadzones, as its crucial for throttle and brake management and is often overlooked. However, optimal deadzone settings will be different everyone. Therefore it's important to set them up yourself, instead of taking fixed values like 5-95. Here's a quick and easy way to do it: 1) Set inside and outside dead zones to 0 and 100 respectively. Do this for acceleration (throttle trigger) and deceleration (brake trigger). 2) Go into the game and pull up telemetry, switch to the page where it shows you the % of throttle and brake applied. 3) Do not touch any of the controls and look at the readouts for brake and throttle: - If they're both at 0 and not moving, you're golden. Leave the inside deadzone at 0. - If they're not completely at 0 or even going up and down a little bit, go up one notch with inside deadzone. Then go back into telemetry. Repeat until both readouts are 0. 4) Now, fully press the brake trigger and hold it: - If it goes up to 100% and stays there while you're holding it, you're set. - If it doesn't reach 100% or goes up and down, go *down* one notch with decel *outside* deadzone. Then go back into telemetry. Repeat until brake readout is 100 flat. 5) Next, drive your car up against a wall. Fully press and hold the throttle: - If it goes up to 100% and stays there while you're holding it, you're set. - If it doesn't reach 100% or goes up and down, go *down* one notch with accel *outside* deadzone. Then go back into telemetry. Repeat until throttle readout is 100 flat. 6) Done.
I've been playing since FH3 and never knew about this setting (or rather knew that it wasn't at 0 by default) And yes, playing with less deadzone is way better!
For gear tuning, I find on high HP builds, a long first gear like 1960's race cars that reaches all the way to 60mph/100km/h makes for more consistent, fast launches with controlled wheel spin, and allows all other gears to group closer together in the high end of the power band. Depending on power, 100mph/160km/h might come late in 2nd for high power, or somewhere in 3rd gear for medium power.
thanks so much for pointing out the deadzone adjustment, the vast variety of settings in this game overwhelmed me as a first time Horizon player, didn't even know I could change the accel range of my trigger and I always felt like it was too small!
Regarding springs and ride height: IIRC spring numbers are "spring rate" (pounds per inch) so to keep the same spring force when lowering ride height one would want to increase spring rate, not decrease.
RWD Feels really good in this game imo. Love driving the Rear engined porsches they just have so much grip out of the corners and you can give it just a little slip to reduce understeer.
The porsches are so much fun to drive in this game. i find high powered builds have a lot of wheel spin, but increasing the length of the first gear helps a ton
Taking a low class rwd car with a shitty gear box rev matching with manual/clutch down the road in guanajuato through the tunnels slowly is a vibe. So is driving a mad powerful rwd monster in S1 and S2 class through a pack of racers. Thanks for the video.
I love the changes that were done to RWD vehicles. It's noticeably better than FH4. I just wish tires were better, because loss of grip in certain situations is weird... I don't think they have tire compounds and grip quite as dialed in as it could be. Some cars are extremely grippy, and some, that have set records on real world racetracks don't seem to hook up very well at all. It's quite sad.
I love tuning mid engine rwd cars Very high rear springs and shockers with front springs/shocks at half rear strength is a good start to control a lot of high power monsters
Honestly surprised some things I didn’t catch some of these things. I basically drive RWD exclusively, because of my straight up refusal to AWD swap anything.
Omg I needed this video so much. I just don't want to drive awd, it's no fun even I am placing in top 3 with it. I was rwding and placing in last 5 in online races before watching this video, hope it helps
Thank you for this video! I prefer RWD up to S1 because i prefer the handling and being light with more power. It seems like i tuned my cars quite ok, almost exactly like you explained but i think i mess up with tyre compound sometimes. Didn't think that rallye tyres are really that good until i made a really good tune for the hoonigan escort and it was dominating the rivals event (all by accident)
I found success with rally tires on A class build. They don't cost that much in terms of PI and they grip more than enough for the power you get in that class. B class don't need them and higher than A they're kind of useless, at least on those cars I tuned until now. Of course there's always exceptions, but these are my go-to tyre compounds when thinking of balance.
@@SDTuts for S1/S2 i strongly prefer the semi slicks for road racing, thats really why i was so surprised they worked. Honestly i took them cause with the PI left i was able to use more power
RWD ALL THE THINGS! I only AWD on dirt. Everything else is RWD. It's literally the highest skill ceiling in FH5 as you can easily be faster than AWD. My only complaint is I think that AWD should have a 5-10% higher PI penalty but I love destroying someone using AWD with my RWD tunes.
it makes sense when semislick causes too much PI since it handles in wettrack better than slick, it doesnt slip when semi offtrack like slick, and it brakes better than slick. slick has better accel and better dry/hot track handling.
I've finally been playing a lot of FH5 after having it since launch and not playing it yet. I played a ton of the older Forza Motorsport games and never learned much about the tuning. Your videos are great, thank you. I remember rear wheel drive being better in certain ways in the old games too. Just recently I turned off traction control though and realized I wasn't tuning rear wheel drive correctly at all.
Nice one dude have been waiting for a good rear wheel drive tuning guide. Really enjoying rwd cars in fh5. Went so far as to check out your fh4 rwd tune. Happy hunting and keep the videos coming 😊🤘
Hey Sir Hoki, hope you a speedy recovery! Just a quick question if you don't mind. Will we see you covering Gran Turismo 7 here in the similar fashion you do for Forza? Thanks!
Nice tips.....Nice to hear someone explaining the finer more crucial points of traction and weight distribution etc. !! One of my favourite cars to drive in FH5 is the Lamborghini Centenario and I always play using the CockPit view (the view after the one that shows the drivers hands and wheel but still shows the dashboard) as I play with a Wheel and Pedal set-up in a Racing Rig.....There's quite a few reasons why this is one of my favourite, one of them being that it has a Digital G-Force Meter/Reader on the Cars Dashboard, which actually works, showing you the direction and level of G's in real-time !! I thought this was a nice feature and great attention to detail made by Playground Games !! Admittedly, it's a bit on the small side but none-the-less it still works and it could be a great learning tool for those players that understand too much about G-Force !!
Great Vid, just like your other ones on tuning. Managed to learn to make tunes myself with those videos so i can finally stop searching around all day long to find a good tune while also having the looks just as i like it :D Especially this Rwd video helped a lot since i finally could adjust my AMG Hammer rwd tune and make it much more playable :) keep up the great work :)
I love making RWD builds, they are much more rewarding and fun to use in online races. But my question is: what's your opinion about FWD builds in B class? Are they viable for races? I would love to see a video about FWD in FH5 for racing! :D
I have a B class 74 civic, front wheel drive on drag tires. Odd ball setup but a BEAST on technical tracks. Top 1% on quite a few rivals. Wide body, aero front and rear. Widest tires rear and only first upgrade front tires.
FWD is a blast most of the time, i have a Golf VR6 in B700, currently close to top 1000 on Horizon Mexico circuit (not bragging at all) But you really need to change the way you take the corners, because you're more prone to overwhelm the tires, turning and braking at the same time is a no-no
Hi Hoki, great tips as always! I'll list some problems I've encountered since I started my own builds in the hope of someone, if not you, could help me out; 1. High turning radius on hairpins and/or low-speed sharp corners. 2. Suspension adjustments. I love racing in the narrow city streets but my suspension/damping setup always throw me off the ground when hitting ground objects like the small roundabouts. On the other side, if I soften things up the car becomes skittish at corners when the suspension compresses. 3. First and second gear. I still don't know how to tune these two gears without making them lose too much time. I either make them too long or too short somehow. Thank you in advance to everyone who reaches out to me!
I actually find that making the first gear quite long helps jurassically with launch; it should be somewhat in line with the others. If you need to dial in your launch, just run it a few times in the drag strip and adjust when needed
@@aurastrike I forgot to mention I play with tcs on. I have a feeling that if I make first gear too long the rear tires grip a bit too early therefore making me lose time (maybe not that much on turbocharged engines). What settings are you on? Btw, ty for responding!
I was in the Audi 🤣. I didn't want to block you in the end, only wanted to close the acceleration space. Sorry 🤭 was a really nice race ggs. Greetings from Germany
Heyy no way! No worries I figured the hit wasn't intentional, thanks for such a good race haha! I jumped online just to film, and the race with you was the very first one which was great to use in the video!
Driving every car with its original Drivetrain :D And i drive with an thrustmaster Wheel, so yeah it should be possible to do the same with the controller i guess :D The Trial this week with the Gt40 was a challenge tho :D This car doesnt allow any errors, this paired with unbeatable ai, and teammates that dont get the point of why to break in corners and ramming you all the time its wild.
I use the deadzone on my pedals themselves, specifically the clutch pedal. Only 10-95 but it helps with resting my foot on the clutch unnecessarily 🙄🤷🏼♂️ Awesome video again my guy! Rwd is definitely more viable in FH5 and I had the general idea right at least haha
I play using my trusty old 360 controller. I really struggle using the Series controller because there's not enough resistance on the sticks which makes small movements extremely hard to do.
I’d love to see a video that goes more in depth on your driving school video. Such as proper times to pass people (especially if they’re a rammer), how the driving line changed to pass somebody, how to pick cars, etc
You get most of what you're after from experience. The more you play the more you learn how to deal with rammers. Their aggression is always their downfall! Learn the tracks, remember the worst corners and safe fast ways to take them. I usually find wider slower entry works most, let the idiots all fly up the inside, then turn lol. Rammers aren't really an issue, they are stupid. Dirty drivers, players who are fast and know WHEN to ram, they are hard to beat 🤣 Beware all bridges!!!
Hey buddy! Grate guide videos they are very helpful!!! You have pleasant tone of voice 👍I do like to tune my own cars in forza it's rewarding when tune works and car handles nicely. It would be awesome if you could add summary of your guide videos in to description as simple text 😊 thanks for your help much appreciated 💯👌‼️
Can we have a clip for race/street tuning for some car categories like: supercars, muscle cars and so on. Maybe not all of them together but this help us the plebs who struggle with tuning an nice car to race with.
This is a Longshot. But I've watched all your tuning guide videos, they all are the best for me. I was wondering if you knew anything about game Torque Drift, & could give a good tuning guide for that one. I can't find anything good on it lol.
I’m really trying to stick with manual shifting… it currently takes all my brain power to do it and everything suffers for it. My line, braking, turn in, literally everything went from damn good to average at best and I’m struggling to stay with it. It’s made a game I kill it in to a game that I suck at and don’t really enjoy atm. But I know the potential gains is worth it so I’m pushing thru for the moment. I need a pep talk. Anybody…
It's just a game dude...have fun... the eliminator is hella fun...and just tweak your cars till they are dialed in..or just download somebody's else's build...I use manual w/clutch..listen to the engine and shift...its always going to be somebody faster...👍🏾👏🏾..u got this
Launches seems to be very important against drivatars, with car 1-3 pulling away from the pack and car 4-7 only acting as blockers and not actually interested in racing at all. I have been using AWD to get an advantage over the terrible drivatar AI compared to FH4, but struggle with bad times in rivals, but i will give RWD another shot. Thanks for the guide, top notch as always.
Awd to me it’s understeers or either drifts when it losses traction but red I can corner more easier but wheel spins as u launch but handles quite good.
I'm trying to get the Lola #6 Sunoko to go around a track properly for The Trial, but it seems like an impossible task. With RWD it's never able to put the power down fast enough to get a good lap time, and with AWD it understeers so much i need to brake a lot more in corners, so the drivatars rear end me and forces me into the wall.
Older cars arent really capable of coping with a lot of power, you generally just have to accept that they arent going to drive as nicely as a modern car. I used the porsche 917 for the trial, rwd, for a few attempts (had a bad team and ai kept knocking me off checkpoints). It wasnt nice to drive, it was basically a power build so with a lot of effort it was actually very quick. Throttle conrtol isnt a simple thing, with a lot of practice youll find that you can actually go a lot faster than you originally thought you could. Also as a side note, with cars like the lola and porsche driving smooth is crucial and weight transfer tends to have more of an impact
@@Noreceipts400 Yeah i gave up and bought a Ferrari P4 instead, was able to tune that decently enough to get 1st place in the trial, but getting any sort of decent rivals time with it is impossible, understeer/not enough turning radius to get around corners fast enough. Which seems to be the issue with most cars i try to get a decent rivals time on, except the koenigsegg ccgt.
The dead zone for controller is such a problem. Its like playing on keyboard 0-100 no in-between. I'll hit my brakes and suddenly wheels lock up. Meanwhile I'm barely pressing the trigger.
Can I ask you about some tips with launch and RWD S2 car with auto shifting? You said "mash" the throtle, you mean like nod press it full force and hold it, but mash like morse code on steroids? And will it work with auto shifting?
I think the cars in forza series are lighter and grip is less than other racing games, such as ACC, AC or Rfactor. I don't say this in a negative way, they just set up this way so people can enjoy drifting more. But when you want to be serious about road racing, you can't expect the RWD car to work like other racing sim.
I really hated the driving physics of Horizon. It just doesn't compare to Motorsports. But then I switched it to simulation steering and man what a difference. Still not as good as Motorsports BUT a huge improvement I felt has to driver feedback in the car. Simulation steering on Motorsports tho, seems uncontrollable (I play on a controller) and is definitely geared towards steering wheel players. Gonna check this out, as I like keeping my cars RWD for the realism. I keep trying to give Horizon a chance. But keep ending back on the Nurburgring in Motorsports 😆
i really wish playground games makes improvments to how ride hight affects physics so i can stop losing to road cars with drift suspention on S1 cross contary racing :)
Launch from a higher gear. I find starting in 2nd or 3rd help tremendously with the Koenigseggs. Then quickly shifting into 3rd or 4th shortly after launch.

I think a rain/wet race tuning/driving guide would be a nice
Hope you’re doing alright. Thank you for putting these videos out :)
@@maddisonmad2710 best thing for rain is to just change tires. if you have Race semi slicks. a good exchange would be to swap out those for sport tires. or even rally. they grip much better in wet conditions. give them both a try
Fwd tuning guide?
Get well soon Hoki we are all here for you
If this stops people from AWD swapping everything, then this video is a gem.
Let’s hope they see it
Hi, that's me !
Lmao this game actually made me into a FWD main :p
This video is already a gem
I have seen tune for LFA with awd v12swap and forza aero 🤮🤮🤮 After that i have making tunes myself 😎
You winning the race in the beginning against the rammer was so satisfying
Agree everyone just bumping me in onlinr
I can't help it. I get to total supercars with no real life consequences.
@@Toshiro4619 that doesn't mean it's ok to ram others

I'm glad you mentioned deadzones, as its crucial for throttle and brake management and is often overlooked. However, optimal deadzone settings will be different everyone.

I've been playing since FH3 and never knew about this setting (or rather knew that it wasn't at 0 by default)
And yes, playing with less deadzone is way better!
ty
Me thinking I’m getting good at the game reading this comment: NOOOOOOOOOO :’(
What about steering?
@el jefe it's for before and after tuning etc goes as it'll help driving in general as it gives much better throttle and brake control
I love how RWD feels! So happy they updated it.
For gear tuning, I find on high HP builds, a long first gear like 1960's race cars that reaches all the way to 60mph/100km/h makes for more consistent, fast launches with controlled wheel spin, and allows all other gears to group closer together in the high end of the power band.

What tire pressure are you working with? You often can go a lot lower than you think, 1.5 bars seems to be a good middle ground for a lot of tunes
@BishBash agreed. A lot of people don't realize this fact. Plus, it's more rewarding when you get rwd down in races
Tires get too hot and they lose grip! Pretty realistic honestly
I love tuning mid engine rwd cars
Very high rear springs and shockers with front springs/shocks at half rear strength is a good start to control a lot of high power monsters
Do you have any share code for the bmw m4 I can’t seem to find the best tune for it

For such an informative Forza channel,I am surprised you do not have a much higher subscriber base.Your videos are always excellent.Take care.
Been waiting for this video for so long now I have some tips and tricks to use for my vipers
Hoki back again with another banger. Thank you for all of the help over the years.
it makes sense when semislick causes too much PI since it handles in wettrack better than slick, it doesnt slip when semi offtrack like slick, and it brakes better than slick. slick has better accel and better dry/hot track handling.

I love them, but usually get beat out by awd Integra meta because I’m not the greatest tuner yet. I do enjoy my builds quite a lot though.

I'm glad I'm not the only who keeps the drive train stock for RWD cars... I mean, an AWD McLaren P1? That's just sacrilegious lol.
i only upgrade if the car is too slidy for the class i'm building it in
For dirt racing i prefer awd but on road rwd is the most fun for me

I use the deadzone on my pedals themselves, specifically the clutch pedal. Only 10-95 but it helps with resting my foot on the clutch unnecessarily 🙄🤷🏼♂️
Awesome video again my guy! Rwd is definitely more viable in FH5 and I had the general idea right at least haha
I miss the OG horizon where you couldn't awd swap everything. I do however like the racing v6, v8 and v12 swaps to give all cars insane power.
Thank God I thought I was the only normal person who doesn't awd swap every car
That was a bit mean win there at 14:16, but very earned one 😀
I play using my trusty old 360 controller. I really struggle using the Series controller because there's not enough resistance on the sticks which makes small movements extremely hard to do.
Did you try adjusting your steering linearity for more bias towards small inputs?
Somehow ARB calculation system from FH4 works for me as base from which I adjust my rwd and usually not by much.
I’d love to see a video that goes more in depth on your driving school video. Such as proper times to pass people (especially if they’re a rammer), how the driving line changed to pass somebody, how to pick cars, etc
You get most of what you're after from experience.
The more you play the more you learn how to deal with rammers. Their aggression is always their downfall!
Learn the tracks, remember the worst corners and safe fast ways to take them. I usually find wider slower entry works most, let the idiots all fly up the inside, then turn lol.
Rammers aren't really an issue, they are stupid.
Dirty drivers, players who are fast and know WHEN to ram, they are hard to beat 🤣 Beware all bridges!!!
@@Weeji_420 *flashbacks to the first bridge on the Goliath*
i tell ya, that ccgt or the nissan 390, just throw them into turns and they flat out fly as rwd
Hey buddy! Grate guide videos they are very helpful!!! You have pleasant tone of voice 👍I do like to tune my own cars in forza it's rewarding when tune works and car handles nicely. It would be awesome if you could add summary of your guide videos in to description as simple text 😊 thanks for your help much appreciated 💯👌‼️
Can we have a clip for race/street tuning for some car categories like: supercars, muscle cars and so on. Maybe not all of them together but this help us the plebs who struggle with tuning an nice car to race with.
Haha by chance doing the stingray for the upcoming season? good stuff
This is a Longshot. But I've watched all your tuning guide videos, they all are the best for me. I was wondering if you knew anything about game Torque Drift, & could give a good tuning guide for that one. I can't find anything good on it lol.
Question: Why does lowering ride height in the rear all the way down and all the way up in the front make the Top Speed specs go higher?
I have a supra build with semi slicks that spins tires in 6th gear at 160 mph
When RWD works in a race, it’s really rewarding!
I’m really trying to stick with manual shifting… it currently takes all my brain power to do it and everything suffers for it. My line, braking, turn in, literally everything went from damn good to average at best and I’m struggling to stay with it. It’s made a game I kill it in to a game that I suck at and don’t really enjoy atm. But I know the potential gains is worth it so I’m pushing thru for the moment. I need a pep talk. Anybody…
It's just a game dude...have fun... the eliminator is hella fun...and just tweak your cars till they are dialed in..or just download somebody's else's build...I use manual w/clutch..listen to the engine and shift...its always going to be somebody faster...👍🏾👏🏾..u got this
RWD cars feel great to race in FH5 as long as you have semi slicks and race springs
I play with automatic shift and it's sad that I can't play with RWD cars because it's basically uncontrollable
Launches seems to be very important against drivatars, with car 1-3 pulling away from the pack and car 4-7 only acting as blockers and not actually interested in racing at all. I have been using AWD to get an advantage over the terrible drivatar AI compared to FH4, but struggle with bad times in rivals, but i will give RWD another shot. Thanks for the guide, top notch as always.
I hope this helps cause I can't make a rwd build for the life of me.
Awd to me it’s understeers or either drifts when it losses traction but red I can corner more easier but wheel spins as u launch but handles quite good.
can you explain the camber thing? some cars come with front camber more positive than the rear, others the opposite, whats the difference?
I'm trying to get the Lola #6 Sunoko to go around a track properly for The Trial, but it seems like an impossible task. With RWD it's never able to put the power down fast enough to get a good lap time, and with AWD it understeers so much i need to brake a lot more in corners, so the drivatars rear end me and forces me into the wall.
Older cars arent really capable of coping with a lot of power, you generally just have to accept that they arent going to drive as nicely as a modern car. I used the porsche 917 for the trial, rwd, for a few attempts (had a bad team and ai kept knocking me off checkpoints). It wasnt nice to drive, it was basically a power build so with a lot of effort it was actually very quick. Throttle conrtol isnt a simple thing, with a lot of practice youll find that you can actually go a lot faster than you originally thought you could. Also as a side note, with cars like the lola and porsche driving smooth is crucial and weight transfer tends to have more of an impact
@@Noreceipts400 Yeah i gave up and bought a Ferrari P4 instead, was able to tune that decently enough to get 1st place in the trial, but getting any sort of decent rivals time with it is impossible, understeer/not enough turning radius to get around corners fast enough. Which seems to be the issue with most cars i try to get a decent rivals time on, except the koenigsegg ccgt.
The dead zone for controller is such a problem. Its like playing on keyboard 0-100 no in-between. I'll hit my brakes and suddenly wheels lock up. Meanwhile I'm barely pressing the trigger.
I build the same car the same way and also tuned it. But for some reason it is still not recomended in any race in singleplayer. Maybe you know why?
Can I ask you about some tips with launch and RWD S2 car with auto shifting? You said "mash" the throtle, you mean like nod press it full force and hold it, but mash like morse code on steroids? And will it work with auto shifting?
Thanks for the help now I’m keeping rwd cars instead of making them awd. My problem is I keep spinning out after exiting a turn any help.
I think the cars in forza series are lighter and grip is less than other racing games, such as ACC, AC or Rfactor. I don't say this in a negative way, they just set up this way so people can enjoy drifting more. But when you want to be serious about road racing, you can't expect the RWD car to work like other racing sim.
Hi, so on the alignment of RWD cars we put 2.2 at the front and 1.5 at the rear?
I really hated the driving physics of Horizon. It just doesn't compare to Motorsports. But then I switched it to simulation steering and man what a difference. Still not as good as Motorsports BUT a huge improvement I felt has to driver feedback in the car. Simulation steering on Motorsports tho, seems uncontrollable (I play on a controller) and is definitely geared towards steering wheel players. Gonna check this out, as I like keeping my cars RWD for the realism. I keep trying to give Horizon a chance. But keep ending back on the Nurburgring in Motorsports 😆
i really wish playground games makes improvments to how ride hight affects physics so i can stop losing to road cars with drift suspention on S1 cross contary racing :)
Konigseggs are undriveable in rear drive format. All wheel spin and no traction in Fh5 just as in previous games.
*Throttle control* is key, don't slam the gas all the way up until the 3rd gear especially with the newer koenigsegg models.
Launch from a higher gear. I find starting in 2nd or 3rd help tremendously with the Koenigseggs. Then quickly shifting into 3rd or 4th shortly after launch.
Hola hoki. So just a quick question for rwd different engine places what do I change so back, rear, and middle
