It's a guide on how to drive.
Trust me, this is very helpful.
So basically:
Step 1: Turn on your PC (optional, but highly recommended. you can't really play without it).
Step 2: Open up Steam. If you don't have Steam, what are you even doing with your life? Go download it.
Step 3: Find Forza 5, click "Play" and wait for the game to load. This may take a while, so feel free to make a sandwich or question your life choices.
Step 4: Once you're in the game, push start. You'll find yourself in a car. Congratulations, you've already accomplished the hardest part.
Step 5: To go forward, either:
Press "W" on your keyboard
OR
Press "R2" on your controller (also known as the gas â the thing that makes you go vroom).
You drove! Just keep holding that button to keep moving.
To go backwards:
Press "S" on your keyboard
OR
Press "L2" on your controller.
You can stop or reverse! This is especially useful when you've missed a turn and need to back up like a confused tourist.
To turn left or right:
Use "A" and "D" on your keyboard,
OR
Use the left and right stick on your controller.
This is the part where you actually steer. Very important. Without this, you'll just drive in a straight line forever, which is fine, but eventually you'll hit a wall.
To brake:
Press "Spacebar" on your keyboard
OR
Press "X" button on your controller.
Braking is helpful when you wish to cease crashing into barriers and begin to drive like an ordinary individual.
To float:
That's more sophisticated. You must brake, steer, and speed up simultaneously. It requires practice, but believe me, once you master it, you'll feel like a champion.
And now you know how to drive a car.
Final Thoughts:
This is possibly the most important guide you will ever read. It teaches you the absolute fundamentals of driving in Forza 5. Drive forward, backward, turning, braking, and a tiny hint of drifting. If you master these steps, you are officially ready for the open road. Just don't forget to steer, and maybe avoid those walls. Happy driving!
