Please note the SL 65 is the Forza Edition.

I ask as I’ve been trying to complete the photo collection and they are the last of the 730 that I’ve not snapped.

If anyone could create a Challenge Card using any of the above and share it here you can be certain that I’ll give it a thumbs up

I'll look tonight. I'm sure I have a few of those.

Cheers, I’ve been using the search function to find the remaining cars but I’ve run out of search terms. The make, the model number, and year, the model number with and without spaces/hyphens... we can assume that more challenges will be created in the next few days but who knows when?

Have you tried getting them by creating a custom drag race? I was able to get some of the ones you are missing that way.

Start a race (drag is easiest as they're all in a line)
Create a blueprint
Select a Manufacturer theme eg Ferrari
Then pick a car to race in that is the same class as the car you want to photo
Start the race
Take a picture of the line up

I was able to get the 166MM Barchetta and 250 Testa Rossa first attempt by picking another A class Ferrari. I expect creating similar limited races for the other cars will work also, I don't have many cars to test with though.

edit - in fact if you create a custom theme within the custom blueprint, you can even specify the cars you allow to enter the race within a class.

I’ve gone back in and found the X1/9 and the 166mm in the challenges now, 8 to go still plugging away

Your method is working, got it down to 4, the research continues...

[T4V]

And then there was one. I really don’t think I can get it without someone owning it and creating a challenge




Creating cards of the cars I got for other people to find now

[beater]

You'll be able to get it through a custom race. I've now got all of them that way despite only having a hundred or so last week.

Start a race
Create a blueprint (select custom theme - far right)
Pick the Porsche you are missing
Pick a car that you own that has similar rating, ie D class around 180 (needs to be fairly close in rating)
Start the race, it should just be your car and the Porsche

[T4V]

Got it!

Does anyone know of any super simple games on the Xbox that basically require pressing left and right in the stick?

My daughter has a camera which has a game and watch style game on it which she loves, so would like to ease the transition... Everything I've tried so far has been a bit of a jump for her and she's a bit impatient!!

I played something a while ago, could be Xbox 360, where I was an underwater diver whose goal in life was to swim along a trench and take photos of particular fish.
Very pretty and I did enjoy it!

I also fairly enjoyed my horse and me 2 where I think at basic level I just steered my horse left and right. Advanced level I had to press x to jump the fences! Probably also Xbox 360.

Effectively you want an in rails type game? I did get my nephew a switch game where you couldn’t really die/fall off ledges/ it jumped when you reached the jump point, will look that up.
Was in wii and was go, Diego, go

Thanks! Will take a look into those. Yeah, essentially on rails - I tried the Pixar game on game pass but it was in rails with up and down as well and she kept missing the coins so lost interest. It's the transition from looking down to looking up and not at your hands that I think she's not getting fully

Sea life safari was the underwater game.

My little girl is 6 and wants to play Xbox but with small hands and poor coordination she struggles. We have played Disney rush and Disney adventures and toy story 3 but she struggles with the movement / camera controls.

I tend to do one stick and she does the other.
It’s fun but would be good to find somethings she can play on her own and at same time learn

Smaller controller?

Oh now if only that was wireless
Layout of lounge and stuff makes wired a bit of nightmare. But certainly worth looking further at.

What about the 8bitdo SN30 Pro Xbox variation?

I think you’ll need the adaptor too but it’ll be wireless

Use copilot mode - you set 2 controllers into one controller and with your controller you can help with the harder bits.
Heres how to set it up..
