Increase FOV Via Config File (Forza Horizon 5)

[Starker]

I need to increase the FOV beyond the in-game slider max value in Forza Horizon 5. Where do I find the config file for the Xbox App version?

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I own the game on the Xbox App. The forums for Xbox are populated by smooth-brained gerbils, so I posted here out of desperation.

Wow, I seen you must of really been desperate lol, I found like 5 forums of you asking about it and some Natustell which I assume is you from the date the topics been made.

Either way, I don't think there really is a way, I remember looking for FOV config files for FH4 when I had my 16.9 monitor, it just wasn't enough, especially inside the car. I got an Ultra wide now and its definitely better on a 21.9 monitor.

If you do find a way, please let us know!

Yes, that's me. I always spam as much as possible to get a response quickly.

How did increasing your aspect ratio help you see more? The same small FOV would be spread over an even larger screen. The in-game camera should not be able to capture more in it's FOV because the output is going to a larger monitor, right?

Well if I was to stay at say 2560x1440 (16.9) on a wider monitor then yes, it'd just stretch out the image regardless of FOV, would need a lot of FOV to sorta make up for it, just wouldn't look right, but since im at 3440x1440 (21.9) you can see more on the sides even at the same FOV as 2560x1440. Hopefully that makes a little bit of sense.

For racing, I love ultra wide for racing, and even Diablo 3 its nice, can see so much more on a already pretty low locked FOV game.

If I were to change the res to 3440x1440 on a 16.9 monitor, you might be able to see more on the sides, but you'd get a fish eye sort of feel as everything would be squished even with a low FOV.

Follow cam = https://ibb.co/LCmyJgc
First person = https://ibb.co/9T1ndgZ
Wheel spin = https://ibb.co/wpw0m6d

FOV for all cams are maxed out at the in game settings, which is the same as 16.9, but of course a wider resolution.

You can kinda see when doing wheel spins, I can still see on the sides, the wheel spin is the normal 16.9, but game is 21.9. This is at 3440x1440. Not all games scale properly and stretch the image out on a ultra wide, but most newer games are doing pretty good and Forza scales well.
