Same problem here, very annoying as I prefer to be in the vehicle when driving
This is a feature I’ve been wanting for years, not just in Horizon but in Motorsport as well. It’s actually been a feature I’ve wanted since they introduced cockpit view in Forza Motorsport 3, however Horizon in particular for me at least, has an awful field of view & always has. Dash Camera is definitely the best camera in this game, along with the hood camera for me. This is what I think all Forza games going forward need in terms of field of view:
- Ability to adjust the field of view.
- Ability to adjust the seating position up, down, forward, left & right.
- Ability to save the field of view & position of view, per car & per camera of each car so we can even adjust the field of view of chase cam & such.
Yes, adjusting field of view & position of view will create graphical bugs, glitches & probably hurt performance, but having a note saying if you set the field of view above a certain limit, it may cause visual & performance issues, would be enough. Then it’s on the player to take the risk.
for the most part, i feel fh4’s cockpit fov is just right - in fm7 it feels far too zoomed out, almost like a gopro. and i think they raised the fov slightly to improve road visibility - either that, or a very tall person was taking photos for dash modelling!
Dash Camera is the best camera in this game, cockpit cam gives wrong FOV.
Please we need adjustment for the cockpit view! Its wayyyyyyy too high or too close in many of the cars… How does this pass in quality control i need to know.
Example: FERRARI 812 SUPERFAST… It would be perfect if its had the same driving position as the F12 Berlinetta.
I disagree about the Ferrari 812. Welcome to world of being tall. I’m only 6’2" but about every Ferrari I’ve ever sat in felt like that. I rented a Nissan Sentra last weekend and my head touched the ceiling when I sat up straight. That real world POV seemed more extreme than anything in game.
If it was me, I’d have a huge problem with that Saleen picture, and not just because it’s off center. Whoever’s in the driver’s seat is more than Richard Hammond short. I’m a grown man, I can’t relate.
Hi all thought I would put my 2 cent in 
. I agree that the pov in Forza horizon 4 in most cars is bad. A solution would be to have a similar system as they do on project cars. Well on pc they do not tried it on Xbox yet but you can adjust hight and distance by a click of a button. Any hoo have fun out there.
I’'m a total cockpit view person and can say from experience, with a few exceptions, that the cockpit view in this game is FINE indeed. The same cars being mentioned here I poked around in for confirmation and they all seemed fined to me. Have no clue what you guys are complaining about. And when I say cockpit view, I mean real cockpit with steering wheel visible.
The FOV in FH4 is actually much, much better and more convincing then FM7. In their motorsport game variant, I feel that the POV is just zoomed out unnecessarily. It’s nearly perfect in FH4, although some cars have theirs too close, but that’s how the driver is positioned if you notice carefully from the external views or photo mode.
PCARS2 option is still king - being able to adjust FOV and seating position is just something I can play around with all day! 
Forza should have a FOV option already and a proper bumper view please! It needs to sit a lot closer to the tarmac, particularly when you’re driving a really low car.
Please include a FOV option devs - I don’t like how ‘small’ and zoomed out the world looks. Also, the FOV shifts and makes everything zoom out even more as you pick speed. This I’d really like to be removed, hopefully in both franchises or at least offer some kind of option to turn it off or adjust.
Incredible graphics, yet omitting the ability to move the seat up/down/forward/backward/tilt is mind boggling… On the PC, with so many different monitor aspect ratios available, it does irritate so many people… including myself!
There are a couple of Ferrari’s that let you jump between them to see the problem of “Inconsistent Interior Views”. Maybe its the stock 458 and then the Speciale or something, but one cockpit shows 3/4 of the wheel, the other cockpit you barely see the top of the wheel. This happens quite a bit, unfortunately, but you’re never going to see it fixed. This game is ancient, they’re probably focusing on FH5 at this point and working with the new hardware, hoping more of those Series boxes will get out into the wild (and fixing some of the bugs that happen on the Series boxes).
They don’t offer the sliders on the Xbox consoles for FOV because those systems require a VSYNC connection to the screen and none of the games use a dynamic resolution, they’re locked at 900p, 1080p or 4k I think…and with vsync they can’t afford to drop frames because someone dials out the FOV so the system has more to render.
No game is perfect.
They don’t care about those of us who use cockpit cam cos the majority roll chase cam. Loads of cars FOVs are awful.
