Hello, classic F1 Ferrari has broken dashboard view
You can’t see anything, because steering wheel is blocking you view.

If you select the next in car view it will take the wheel away and slightly move you forward but still in car view with no wheel in the way.

It looks exactly like a 1964 Ferrari. Just take a minute to Google it before declaring to the world that it’s “broken”.

Evan, he says it’s broken because he can’t see the cars a bit ahead of him due to the wheel being in the way…at least that’s how I took it.
I think it looks exactly as it would in real life driving that car but in real life we can move our head a little to see around the wheel in the game we can’t.
It’s not broken, it is correct. It looks the same in FM6.

If it’s not broken then what is the point driving this car in cockpit view?
Have you driven this car in cockpit view? It’s not bad at all, it has just as much visibility as other vehicles and in my opinion the LMP cars are much worse for visibility.

It’s couldn’t be like that in real life. That you see below the steering wheel circuit? Yes, but not in you eyelines. So in that way wheel should be higher.

Oh look the eyes are above the wheel not in line with it…
And if that driver happened to be 3 inches shorter??? Would he be banned from driving this car as it was broke for him?

Wouldn’t even need 3". The focal point is the top of the steering wheel. Here’s driver geometry based on context lines in the image. Would only need about 1" difference in total height. Case closed.
Exactly…

What if the driver has no eyes? What’s then? Shorter driver can install smaller wheel, or put somehing below his ass. We are in video game, where we should driver tall enoght like real driver who can see something…
Then they wouldn’t be driving anyway. Try an argument that makes sense.
Danica Patrick is 5’2" and I’m pretty sure she had no issues seeing out of an Indycar.

Good so you agree with me that dashboard view is broken in FM7?
No, I don’t.
That should be obvious, and I’m clearly not the only one.
So you are telling me that Patrick could view above the wheel, because he is 5’2", but Forza driver is small and that’s ok that we see from short Forza driver kissing the steering wheel and not from Patrick eyes perpective? I don’t get it?
In an open wheel single seater the seat and pedal box are adjusted for drivers of differing height. The driver doesn’t tower above the car or disappear into the cockpit. The drivers position is critical to aero and his/her safety. The view is accurate although someone did mention that the hands look disproportionate.
