If you don’t like the default cockpit perspective in Forza Motorsport and find yourself constantly changing the camera angle at the start of every race, then you can check out this guide to see how you can switch the default camera view.

1. For the first step, open up the Settings menu in Forza Motorsport. You can do so from the home screen or pause screen.

3. Once you get to the right tab, scroll down to the Camera section. You should see the Camera View option from there, which has the following description:

Determine where the camera is positioned in relation to the car.

1. First off, you need to head over to the Settings menu if you aren’t there already.

2. You should be viewing the Driving Assists tab when you open the Settings menu. If you aren’t then you need to switch over to it by using the LB and RB buttons if you are using a controller or racing wheel with Xbox buttons.

When playing Forza Motorsport, you may encounter a “Not Connected” error message with the following description:

Progress cannot be saved until connection is restored. You can try to reconnect now or play Free Offline. Reason: No internet connection.

To see how you can potentially fix these disconnection issues, you can check out this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first step, you can try selecting the Retry Connection option in the error message to see if you are able to connect online again.

If the online servers aren’t working, then you won’t be able to play most of this racing simulator until they are working normally again.

3. If the servers appear to be working just fine, then you should make sure that your internet connection is working normally as well.

Try to avoid downloading or streaming on the same network you are using to play Forza Motorsport online. If possible, use a wired Ethernet connection. If you can only use Wi-Fi, then you should make sure that the wireless signal remains strong and consistent.

4. Power cycling your home networking devices may also help with maintaining a stable internet connection.

To power cycle, you can try doing the following:

• Close Forza Motorsport.
• Turn off your PC, Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S.
• Turn off or unplug your modem, router and other networking devices.
• Wait for at least two minutes.
• Power back on your modem, router and other networking devices.
• Wait until your home network is back online again.
• Turn on your PC, Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S.
• Open Forza Motorsport and try to log back online again.

When playing through the career mode in Forza Motorsport, you may end up getting stuck in the “Applying Upgrade” screen. As a result, you will most likely lose your progress and have to complete the previous race event all over again.

To see how you can prevent these issues from occurring, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first potential fix, we advise that you avoid adjusting the Fuel System. So, in the Upgrade Shop avoid changing anything from the Fuel System section in the Fuel and Air tab.

You should be able to adjust every other component in the car without causing the “Applying Upgrade” screen to get stuck.

2. If the bug is still occurring, then you should make sure that you have a stable internet connection.

For the uninformed, Forza Motorsport requires an online connection for the campaign mode as well as saving your progress.

Therefore, you should make sure that you aren’t downloading or streaming on the same network while playing the game. If you are using Wi-Fi, then you should also check to see if you have a strong enough wireless signal.

3. There could also be an issue with the game servers. To look for updates if there is any downtime, we recommend taking a look at the official Forza Motorsport Twitter page.

If there are problems, then we suggest that you avoid playing the campaign mode until the servers get fixed.

4. If you haven’t done so already, make sure you have the latest patch installed for Forza Motorsport.

The lost progression glitch appears to be a widespread issue; so, hopefully, the development team at Turn 10 Studios will fix it as soon as possible.
