# Forza Horizon 5

## Connection Method

**UDP** — Forza Horizon 5 sends telemetry data over UDP.

* **Default IP**: `127.0.0.1`
* **Default Port**: `5555`

## Setup Steps

1. Launch **Forza Horizon 5** and navigate to **Settings**.
2. Select **HUD AND GAMEPLAY**.
3. Scroll to **DATA OUT** and set it to **ON**.
4. Set **DATA OUT IP ADDRESS** to `127.0.0.1`.
5. Set **DATA OUT IP PORT** to `5555`.
6. Press **Space** to save changes.
7. In DR Sim Manager, select **Forza Horizon 5** from the Source list and click **Start Motion**.

## Available Telemetry

* **Orientation**: Pitch, Roll, Yaw
* **Acceleration**: Full 3-axis acceleration
* **Speed**: Vehicle speed
* **RPM**: Engine RPM
* **Gear**: Current gear
* **Suspension**: 4-wheel suspension data

### Telemetry Quality: ★★★★☆

## Recommended Starting Settings

* **Primary Cue Gain**: 60–90%
* **Smoothing**: Medium
* **Washout**: Medium

## Known Quirks

* **Microsoft Store / Game Pass**: If playing through Game Pass, the game's UDP output may be blocked by Windows network restrictions. Ensure the game has network permissions.
* **Same format as Forza Motorsport**: Forza Horizon 5 and Forza Motorsport use a similar UDP format.

## Troubleshooting

### No telemetry data

1. Verify **DATA OUT** is set to **ON** in game settings.
2. Confirm IP is `127.0.0.1` and port is `5555`.
3. Make sure you are driving (not in menus).
4. Check Windows Firewall — allow the game through for UDP.
5. For Microsoft Store/Game Pass versions, try setting the IP to `0.0.0.0` if `127.0.0.1` doesn't work.
