Xmas is almost here. Dropping 5 new Xmas maps tonight and if you haven't checked out the Xmas Event Labs playlist we have 55 events lined up in it for FH5 this year. Lets make it a big final FH5 Xmas. We get next year FH6 and see what 2026 will shape into.

I will be starting my Holidays and that means free time and want to turn my focus on the channel streams and games I just haven't gotten around to also. As long as its not 40 degrees Celsius at my end. 40 days, let there be streaming.

We have tried a few varied things through out the year, ending on 4k videos and 1.57k subs. Mixed up thumbnail ideas and working with Y/Tube algorithm changes.

Shout out to all the viewers, subscribers, event lab creators who make this channel grow and be as successful as it has become. FCG and FPUN all of those members are super thanks and to Play Ground Grounds for FH5.

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year

Hope everyone is doing well, and have a great time. What's everyone looking forward to in the FH6 next year?

Congrats to the new PG editor event lab picks this week. If you haven't checked them out, well worth a check.

Have ran quite a few event labs for editing/scheduling later. Think everyone will enjoy them, even a couple of photo event labs in there.

Got to get some more Powerwash Simulator 2 and squeeze Dispatch in also yet. Will probably stream it at Twitch, and send over to YT afterwards. If only there was a way to pause time. Never enough time but can only try.

Just wanted to check in with everyone.

Happy Halloween and hope all is well!

Been super busy month, just finished up thumb nails for upcoming videos.

Importantly, managed to put a playlist together of 38 Halloween Custom Race Events for FH5. All available to view now. Enjoy the spooky scary races.

Seeing quite a few Japan inspired event labs being made at the moment, so keep an eye on the channel for those also. So many clean, creative and sharp looking events. One that comes to mind has a regional faming fields with difference paddock colour tones.

I am technically on holidays for 10 days also. Will see a few other videos potentially. We have Power Wash Simulator 2, Wreckreation, Outer Worlds 2, Dispatch, and Dead Take I am hoping to try at least.

Have a great weekend, and keep an eye out on Twitch. I have updated some settings. So that may have some pop up streams.

Cheers

Getting to late September hope everyone is going well. Hoping all the event labs posted so far are bringing fun and enjoyment to the game for you. We have more coming up this week as usual, trying to keep the mix.

With everyone speculating FH6 and Japan, will be interesting to see when it releases and when official release news you come also for it. Will it release before GTA 6? Highly interested as the Tools and what that look like for Event Labs and more. So many more questions to be asked.

Whilst FH5 has been out for some time now, its good to see the event labs being created still, whilst at a slower pace as you would expect.

Also a new trailer for Wreckreation has come out this week. It does promise "Wreckreation does support crossplay across PC (Steam & Origin), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S" according to the internet. Could be good, if it can scratch that burnout itch. We def need more games with proper cross play. I hope GTA 6 does crossplay, but i am holding my doubts based on prior games.

Updated a couple things behind the scenes on the different platforms. Not much more. Wanted to check in with everyone.

Will leave it there for now.

So many great event labs done the last 2 weeks. Hoping you will enjoy The extra 2, one will send you to the beach, so pack a towel, drinks and offroad tyres, other to streets and night life.

As always, huge shout out to all the watchers, subscribers, FCG Guild, FPUN Guild. Everyone you all rock.

Posting two out shortly and a couple in the early hours of the morning to allow the next cycle of event labs videos for me to suss out. So some extra videos in one night bonus.

New event labs i need to look, 25 of them and a varying range of events by the looks.

Big shout out to all the old and new subs, we are over the 1500 mark and holding. Still really amazed how the channel has grown and as always thank you for your support.

Some frustrating news for the channel this week was getting a one copyright strike the other week for another video game developer that I won't name as much as I would like to. It luckily only impacted one video with the video being removed. All I will say is that developer if I had more they like to go ham on copyright strikes, as that is their tactic normally. Other channels in the past haven't been so lucky and had multiple on multiple strikes. We will wear the 90 day expiry time on that strike and ride it out.

Other than that have a smashing weekend and hopefully you enjoy the extra videos tonight.

I am expanding the channel due to dual streaming options to cover both You Tube and Twitch. Twitch username is smokescreencentral, same as the Youtube channel.

Youtube uploads will remain the same, daily content as per normal.

Streaming side Twitch will get the Horizontal, and Youtube the vertical (Shorts/Live). After the live stream the the Twitch Horizontal VOD will be transfered to Youtube for viewing later also. Ultimately horizontal version will end up on Youtube.

Been busy behind the scenes getting that all sorted. This weekend we will be streaming FH5 content also and possibly something else, time permitting.

Once I have settled in twitch a bit also, see what new options we can do for streaming. Maybe a session where we run share codes the group posts even.

Thats the news for the channel for now. Cheers for the support as always, you all are great.

How do you play Forza Horizon 5?

Huge welcome to the new PlayStation FH5 players on early access and the upcoming ones end of this month on its release date. Hoping you are enjoying the game and making credit and getting cars. The game will throw those two items at you for sure.

Been 2 weeks since we did a post. Been a busy behind the scenes on channel project/ideas.

Shoutout to DEXTER 4130D for being a guest on the channels second FH5 Stream. Def added great value to stream with your knowledge and insight on event labs and the in-game mechanics. Check out DEXTER 4130D event labs in game.



Started to do some Live Streams initially with FH5 over the last week, and so far, everything seems to be running as intended tech wise. We have had a good number of viewers drop in chat and think it's definitely the next consistent thing for the channel moving forward.



Main home page banner has been refreshed text is a bit more visible now. Prior it was difficult to read, and too much was going on with the spliced in pictures. Added also FCG and FPUN logos.



The VODs for the FH5 standalone event labs we cover we are changing the formula on editing a little to overcome a few video stutter issues that come and go at certain recording point. Not a huge a change to videos otherwise, if anything streamlines the videos a little more for everyone.

That is where we are at. Like I said, behind the scenes busy lately for sure.

Hoping everyone has had a great last two weeks and keeping well. I will update on any channel changes as usual.

Coffee and some TV time now, I think.
