    The default FOV is way too close; if you're driving 50MPH, it makes you feel as though you're only going 20MPH. On top of that, you feel as though the steering wheel is right in your face—especially when you're driving in the van.

    You can change that from the Options / Camera menu to your own preference.

    If i'm not wrong, you can change it with 9 and 3 on your keypad to. Not 100% sure!

    That's the FOV.
    The actual position of the camera for the cockpit can be customized from the camera settings menu

    his issue is the sense of speed though, which doesnt change when you move the seat.
    he probably meant fov - for the layman increasing the fov does look like moving the seat back.

    Sorry, I meant FOV. That cannot be changed with the camera settings.

    Yes, you're correct: I meant to say field of view.

    You can, but at the moment it affects all view.
    It's the 'FOV Tuning' setting in the Options > Camera menu.

    Or you can change that on the fly by pressing 9 & 3 on the numpad, as suggested above (although that is a temporary change)
