Cockpit HUD when cars are close

Hello everyone, as i know that i’m not the only one who loves driving inside of the car i just want to make a sugestion to help us race inside of the car.

It’s no a new feature to racing games but it is so simple and so helpfull that i think that would be great here on forza so people can drive inside safely and know where the other cars are when overtaking, being overtake, etc.
I don’t know what games had this but it’s like an arrow or some kind of signal that show us where are the cars behind us or next to us. For example if someone is right next to us the arrow would point to the left so that we know we can’t turn left. If we overtake this car the arrow would point backwards and left and there we know that going to the left is safe.

I love driving, and when playing games like this i just want to look inside, see the revs, the pointers, dashboard, that immersion and here i have to play outside just to have a clean and safe race when near to people.

Hoppe this helps for the future though :stuck_out_tongue:

I agree. Project Cars features various other views I think should also be in Forza 6 and it would just make it so much better. Hopefully Turn 10 is going all out for Forza 7 and I can only hope Turn 10 learn from the competition (sarcastic voice). Project Cars isn’t in the same league as Forza, but PC does have features I think would make the next Motorsport absolutely astonishing. Not saying Forza 6 isn’t amazing I mean with way more cars than 5, rain and night racing and many other features, I hope Forza Motorsport 7 will be game changing.

That would be a nice feature, I think gran turismo 6 had that feature

I think getting the rearview mirror to work on all cars would be a good start. I don’t get why some of the cars have mirrors that are completely worthless.

And then having the wing mirrors in small sub-windows would also help.

Not to make this a PCARS discussion, but I’ve been playing PCARS with the Crew Chief app and it’s absolutely fantastic having a real time spotter. Not to mention the fact that the helmet and cockpit views are just better in PCARS. In FM6 it’s like I’m 5 feet away from the wheel and 70% of the screen is the interior of the car. At least give us the option to move up a bit. Plus the look to apex option in PCARS just makes so much sense and works so well.

I think Forza should get something like Iracing has, where the pit crew communicates to you about the other cars on the track, lap times, etc etc. I love racing in cockpit view and this would be fantastic to have.

I remembered that too and it is a really good feature. Even more realistic.

I think this should be posted in the “feature request” thread.

It’s done, thank you.

I would greatly prefer to play from the cockpit view, but use third person for the same reasons. But I would like to add another reason, inability to look through turns. Third person view allows me to look further down the track when going through turns. What would be nice is an option to have the camera automatically adjust to view through the apex of a corner as you approach it and go through it.
