Alternative Homespaces (Forzavista & Upgrade/Painting Menu)

I’d like to have back the option to use ForzaVista at race tracks (not only in menu), just like in FM7.

The option to have different “homespaces” is a feature that was in a few other Forza Motorsport games, such as Forza Motorsport 4 and Forza Motorsport 6.

Essentially you could choose from a couple different environments where your car would be parked, including empty warehouses, track-side garages, a parking space on the side of a sunlit mountain road, or simply your car sitting under a spotlight in an otherwise dark space. These spaces were typically only used while navigating menus in FM4, but it was nice to be able to choose how your car was “presented”. In FM6 the homespace was also the location of Forzavista and where your car was painted and upgraded.

There were no alternative homespaces in FM7, but there were alternative backdrops for painting cars that included different lighting. These were especially handy for gauging how the paint looked under different lighting conditions.


What I’d like to see in Forza Motorsport 2023 is the option to have one or two alternative homespaces, as well as alternative spaces for upgrading and painting especially. The dark, gray backdrop doesn’t quite provide a good indication of how a car would look on a sunny track.

The Announcement Trailer garage/studio would be a nice environment. It has a very well lit “photoshoot” area that would make every inch of the car clearly visible. And it would also be cool to see some mechanics and engineers walking around.

Yep, we need this.

Yes please, this made Forza 4 feel so dynamic and made it stay fresh for longer, because you could shake up that menu where you put a lot of your time.

I’m kind of tired of the current FM23 garage and would love to see this feature return.

Why didn’t this make it into the final game? It looks perfect and the studio lighting setup on the main car is great for visibility and way better than what we have.
