Been thinking long n hard about this, some of these features were in previous games too but some cool things I’d like to see in FH5 are:
Moving Paddle shifters This was in FH4 so would be cool to have this back. When your character shifts up or down the paddles move with the action of the hand movement.
Working Odometer on Vehicles This worked way better in FH3 and FH4. If the odometer is supposed to still clock up K’s, at least a fix for it as I’ve experienced driving many different cars and after driven the odometer will reset back to previous mileage showing NO K’s driven. I’ve noticed this with car brands like Porsche and Lamborghini.
Working GPS This technically wouldn’t be too complicated to add in. You just add a copy of the map into the cars with a screen in the Interior to simulate a navigation system. For the cars that don’t have the screen don’t get it.
Update Interior Camera Add 360 degree interior camera just like GTA 5 has or at the very least 180 degree or 270 degree view of the interior. We already have about 45 degree view then it cuts automatically to side view. This would make driving with the interior view much more enjoyable and interesting.
Updated First Interior Camera It would be nice to have the ability to change the point of view angle of the first interior camera - The camera where you can see your arms on the wheel. Personally I feel as if it’s a little too zoomed in and would be nice to select even a pre-set POV angle to switch between. Everyone has different POV angles they like driving with.
Updated Interior Effects The Interior dashboard lights could do with being brighter and being more saturated. The gear shifting lights on the wheel could also be brighter and also more saturated.
I love Forza and play it lots, so thank you to the Devs.
Comment down below how you feel about this or if you think the interior doesn’t need attention.
I would love to have a 360 degree interior camera in cockpit view. Current one is too limited. I want to be able to look around more freely.
I would love to be able to sit on the passenger seats as well. I know it might not be possible to be made in freeroam. But add the option in forzavista or if at some point car meets return. Imagine being able to go inside someone else’s car. Even if not in freeroam would be cool
Also, we need the real-life 900° degree steering movement animation to completely improve the driving and drifting feel in Forza Horizon. I support this list. Add to this the ambient lighting, sharper lit infotainment, interior switches and button lighting and opening windows like cars in IRL
I did some research on animating paddle shift gears… and came to the conclusion that this is very similar to what it was in FH3.
Currently there is not a single car that has this animation in FH5, but in FH4 it is present and in many cars (it is very rare the car that does not have animation of movable paddle shifters by the driver’s touch).
In FH5 this has to be improved, let’s not leave it for a new installment or that the developers simply publish that “this is a game design error and will not be fixed”. I have already reported this problem to support, let’s hope for a fair response.
The developers should really work on features like odometers (perhaps in the HUD, similar to Gran Turismo), functional in-car clocks, 900-degree rotation like in real cars, and so on. I wish more people would vote for these improvements.
We need the full steering wheel rotation animation. The 180 degree rotation one they have now is so dated and cheesy that I feel like I’m watching “The Thing” for the first time when I play FH5.
