The Forza Horizon 3 UI is designed to be informative and accessible. Here's a quick overview of key elements you'll encounter:
- HUD (Heads-Up Display): Displays speed, gear, mini-map, current position in a race, and skill chain information.
- Map: Accessed via the View button, the map shows all available events, festival sites, PR stunts, and collectibles. You can set waypoints here.
- Pause Menu: Accessed via the Menu button, this is your central hub for car management, festival progression, settings, and online features.
- Festival Blueprint: A crucial feature within the pause menu that allows you to customize existing events or create entirely new ones. You can change car restrictions, weather, time of day, and even the number of laps.
- Horizon Promo: Found in the pause menu, this tracks all the unique cars you've photographed in the game, offering rewards for completing sets.
Spend some time exploring the different menus to understand where everything is located. The UI is generally intuitive, but knowing where to find specific options will save you time and enhance your overall experience.
