Graphics - Matte painted cars still give reflections on hood camera (1653825)

Honestly would not care other than I prefer using hood camera, and the warped track boundary marker lines moving all over is highly distracting when I’m trying to focus on hitting a mark.

Edit hood camera view has reflections when it should not. Follow cam looks correct

Matte paint on bonnet still results in high gloss finish when using bonnet cam. I personally find the high reflections off putting and nausea inducing.

The reflections are overly done and exaggerated in most lighting conditions in this Motorsport. It has that tin foil look at times. I agree with your nausea inducing feel. The cars look horrible in the Paint Menu for some reason !

When a car has matte carbon applied to its hood, the “hood view” still views the carbon as gloss carbon instead of matte carbon.

I 100% agree with this. It makes it much harder to drive in hood camera.

It’s probably the same on all the cars. (Series X, Performance RT)

Bumper cam is really too low for online racing, so i use Hood cam, but the reflections from the hood are really off putting when cornering. Bumper Cam at hood cam height with the HUD in the middle (like GT7) would be perfect.

A Matt black bonnet is the answer like the old race/rally cars used to do, right…wrong unfortunately.



Up!.. I wantеd to make post abоut same bug!

Adding to this as well. Please fix matte paint to actually be matte in game. Hood mode is almost unbearable with track lines and rows of balloons in the air. It’s disorienting and makes it feel like the camera is moving mid turn.

not just the hood, but wheels too.

We have july 2024 and the issue with the hood view isnt fixed yet.

The ‘matte’ finish is not matte, still glossy. Please fix 11 months into the game.

‘Matte finish’, very reflective. Looks great in other camera views, not matte in hood cam.

Hood cam seems to always have same reflection regardless of paint finish.

See title. Matte liveries are, after 1 year (!!!), still not matte in the hood view. Which is very distracting since I don’t want reflections distracting me.

Why isn’t this fixed after a year? :person_facepalming:t2: Can the devs do something? This is so ridiculously stupid.

How is that even possible? Don’t they load the same livery in hood cam? Should be the one you have in your save, right?

No matter what car or matte paint you choose, it’s ar reflective surface only in hood view. All the other viewpoints are correct. It just doesn’t make sense. Surely they must be aware? If not, how can I get them to notice?

On Reddit I have seen other people talk about it as well.

This is around since many Forza games, i think since the option for matte was new to the game :smiley:

So, yesterday we had an update to “celebrate” the first year of Forza Motorsport. After all this time, the hood view still shows matte cars as being reflective.

I am trying to understand why this isn’t being fixed. Has there ever been a official response to this from the developers?

I use the hood view, and matte painting, so I don’t get distracted and to keep focus on the track. This issue severely hampers my enjoyment of the game and I am trying to understand why in the world this hasn’t been fixed.

Why add all kinds of cars and drift modes when the base functionality isn’t even there?
