Hood view: I like the hood view the most, it has a nice height over road, it feels like you drive a car because of the hood. The sound is nice.

Problem: The hood breaks too easily and ruins the view. This wasnt an issue in Dirt Rally 2.. partially because the hood didn't break as easily. 

Possible solutions:

A: Move the camera ~15 cm up so the view isnt ruined by the bonnet. 

B: Make the hood/bonnet break less easily

Possible solution C: have it as an option to turn on/off aesthetic car damage 

Pairs nicely with the dash cam occasionally being in the part of the window that doesn't get wiped.

For me the ideal solution is to allow us to move the dash cam view if we so desire, kind of like you can move the seat view.

Totally agree.

I think it is even better if the view can be adjusted side to side.

I'd like to place the hood (bonnet) view camera in front of the driver instead of the center of the hood.

I like the unobstructed view of the hood view but I don't want to feel like I am sitting on the center console.

I know everyone has personal preference so if EA can add adjustability on every single view, everybody becomes happy!!

Having only just started dabbling with a steering wheel and pedals setup, the first time that hood flies up and totally obscured my view was a nightmare and hilarious at the same time!

Good valid points raised here. 

I’d like a height adjustment to the view.  I can handle the bonnet moving about. But with the added lights for night time plus I like to reduce FOV by half I’m stuck with a third off the screen obscured by the lights.  

However as I use a pad found bumper cam works well with sharp stick inputs

This would be great. I've basically given up on them ever improving all the distracting and immersion breaking aspects of the cockpit view, so I've been trying out hood cam which has helped me enjoy playing the game again, but the center positioning makes things feel very unnatural, and more difficult to judge where the car is vs the road at times. One might assume it would be easier, but it's not.

If you could move the bonnet view left and right that would probably be enough, but also forward / back / up / down, even tilt up/down a bit like the cockpit / head's adjustable camera, that would help tremendously. Another very minor improvement that would have a massive impact, so like I don't expect it to ever happen.

I just noticed this thread was from December of last year, oof.

Codemasters. please create a possibility to adjust each view on all axis just like the RBR RSF mod has. It would make everything so much easier.
