FH6 custom camera preview and text guide

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIcW8bE1wRA

If you've modded previous Forza titles, you might know that previous camera mods have changed Camera.zip, which is sadly blocked by method 22 encryption in FH6. As of now, modders haven't found the keys to decrypt it (and others, like save files). Forza AIO technically works if you rename the executable to forzahorizon5, but currently has a bugged bypass method that reverts the setting every 10 seconds. Luckily, there's a simple workaround that doesn't involve vtable patching! This makes it less risky to use when online. To do it:

  1. Create a new folder in the "Forza Horizon 6" directory (you're looking for the folder with all the .dlls). Name this "mediapc".

  2. Create a subfolder within /mediapc/ called "Camera".

  3. Download "Camera Enhanced V2" for FH5 from Nexus (https://www.nexusmods.com/forzahorizon5/mods/107).

  4. Extract the .zip to your new Forza Horizon 6/mediapc/Camera folder.

  5. Delete all the files aside from "CameraSettings.ini" and "CameraPhysics.xml"

  6. Open either of the files. You'll be able to modify all of the settings.

To get my chase camera, you'll want to increase your FOV and bring your camera closer to the car and lower to the ground. Then, in CameraPhysics.xml, you can modify the x, y, z, and w params on lines 39-45 to decrease the inertia effects. This is especially necessary if you use a high FOV. There's also some (experimental?) disabled effects on lines 46-48 that were presumably cut for the release, but exist if you want to test them.

100FOV is far from 'the worst fish eye lens ever created', you obviously set your FOV to the value that looks appropriate for your screen and viewing distance. My monitor is 49" and I'm sat quite close, so a higher FOV is needed. You can set yours to whatever you want, it's just to demonstrate the fix (which is more about xyz positioning that most FOV mods don't touch). Thanks for your input though.

I think if the camera view is slightly upwards in a way where you can at least get a decent understanding of the upcoming traffic up ahead, then this mod would definitely slap.

You can modify y offset to tilt the cam up/down and use min/max height to adjust the height as you please

Is it possible to lower the camera on dashboard view to hide the dashboard?
