Annoying FOV inconsistency

I noticed in FM6 that FOV in some cars are ridiculously far back where the wheel and dashboard takes up 3/4 of the screen making it difficult to watch the road while some other cars you see the top of the wheel and see through most of the windshield just fine. I remember back in FM3 and FM4 you were able to change the FOV in the split screen option but there’s no option to be found in FM6 (I forget if FM5 had it or not), with the LaFerrari I end up having to drive on the hood view.

Will there be an update to add an option or is there a way to change the FOV?

More cars I try, more I’m getting annoyed with this FOV changes. Why change something that was never broken? I don’t remember having a single issue with POV in Forza 4, in 6 there is just too much inconsistency to the views. Alot of the cars feel like the FOV is just too high, when the steering wheel is covering the gauges, its just wrong. Last one I remember is the 2008 M3, someone 7ft tall is in the driver seat. Need a way to adjust or go back to the views Forza 4 had.

Yes it is annoying; with some cars you can’t even view the side-view mirror properly. For a fact though, some 2-seater cars have the driver stretching out a little and sitting at a distance from the dash, i.e. some Lambos and Ferraris, while GT3 race cars and V8 supercars for instance, have the driver sitting really close to the dash IRL.

Being said, it would be nice to be able to adjust your seat back/forward if not up/down also.

Agreed. However its something we’ll just have to live with, theres tachometers on many cars which dont even work properly.

It shouldn’t be though, don’t see why we still don’t have adjustable options. Such as seating position, TCS, abs rather then just fixed or on and off. So progressive options would be nice…and to change interior colour etc. But ill leave it there before im accused of needing a wishlist

True, I believe if we had adjustable FOV sliders then the cars would have to have the bits we see of the car on the side textured and stuff which apparently is too much
