Gripline

Gripline – wheel, keyboard, traffic & weather for Forza Horizon 2 on PC (Azimuth). Based on Extra Options 0.2.98 by RokkuDayo.

What's new in V5

•Own GRIPLINE tile in the pause menu with all settings (needs the FH2 Mod Platform, which comes with FH2MP – without it the settings stay at Options › HUD)

•Notifications – small Gripline cards at the top right, also in fullscreen (can be turned off)

•Nitro on keyboard (N) and wheel buttons for NitroSystem by qiangqiang101 – turned off automatically in online sessions

•Full steering animation (experimental, off by default): hands hidden, wheel turns like your real one. Known issue: the in-game wheel can turn faster than your real wheel – fix planned

•Works with the new FH2MP. fh2wheels by conner-mcvay should work too (checked in the code, not tested in game yet)

Install

Copy everything from the Azimuth folder of the ZIP next to azimuth.exe (winmm.dll, FH2_ExtraOptions.ini, fh2-mods\Gripline.dll). Update: replacing winmm.dll and fh2-mods\Gripline.dll is enough.

With FH2MP (online): install FH2MP with its launcher, then in its settings turn off "Install FH2 Extra Options if it is missing". Gripline stays next to azimuth.exe.

Problems?

Open an issue and attach FH2_ExtraOptions.log, FH2_Wheel.log, FH2_Wheel.ini, FH2_Keyboard.ini (next to azimuth.exe) and fh2-mods\platform.log.

🚨 Gripline never asks you to paste commands into PowerShell or to run an installer. Only download from this page.

⚠️ Unofficial – not supported by the Extra Options author or the Azimuth developer. Tested with Azimuth 0.9.10 and a Logitech G920.

What's new in V4

•Works online with [FH2MP](https://github.com/Charelene/FH2MP) – wheel, keyboard and force feedback online too

•Clutch pedal as brake (the G920 brake pedal is stiff) – in the game: Options › HUD › *Wheel: Clutch Pedal as Brake*. Idea by Lancaster

•English settings files: FH2_Wheel.ini, FH2_Keyboard.ini – your old settings are taken over automatically

•New ready-made profile Wheel_ClutchAsBrake

Install

Normal: copy the 2 files from the Azimuth folder of the ZIP next to azimuth.exe. Update: replacing winmm.dll is enough.

With FH2MP (online):

1. Install FH2MP with its launcher.

2. In the FH2MP launcher settings, turn off the automatic Extra Options install.

3. Copy the fh2extra folder from With FH2MP (online) into your Azimuth folder.

Settings in the game: Options › HUD › bottom. Online, traffic and weather come from the session.

Problems?

Open an issue and attach FH2_ExtraOptions.log, FH2_Wheel.log, FH2_Wheel.ini, FH2_Keyboard.ini (next to azimuth.exe, or in fh2extra with FH2MP).

Unofficial extension of Extra Options 0.2.98 for Forza Horizon 2 (Xbox One version) running on Azimuth. This is an update of my fork, not an update from the original Extra Options author.

What's new in fork3

•Wheel works without `Microsoft.Xbox.Input.Wheel.dll`: some game copies don't have this Microsoft file in the Mount folder, so the wheel didn't work there (log: ...Wheel.dll nicht gefunden). The mod now brings its own version of it and uses it automatically when the file is missing. Steering, pedals, buttons, paddles and the game's original force feedback work the same. Tested on a G920.

•If your game has the file, nothing changes.

Everything from fork2 is still included (keyboard support, original force feedback, ready-made profiles). Full list of fork2 changes: v0.2.98-fork2.

Good to know

•While a wheel is plugged in, the game drives with the wheel only. To drive with keyboard or controller, set Wheel: Use Wheel In Game to Off and restart the game (or unplug the wheel).

•Traffic settings apply after restarting Azimuth.

Installation (Azimuth)

1. Extract the ZIP.

2. Copy the two files from the Azimuth folder into your Azimuth folder (next to azimuth.exe). Back up your old winmm.dll and FH2_ExtraOptions.ini first. Updating from fork2: replacing winmm.dll is enough.

3. Start the game. Settings: Options › HUD › bottom.

What's new in fork2

•Keyboard support: drive with WASD, arrow keys move the camera while driving and navigate menus, Enter/Backspace/Esc in menus. Works together with a controller (one merged controller, no "player 2" problems). Full list: Keybindings.txt in the ZIP or the README. Thanks for the idea in the YouTube comments!

•Original force feedback: the wheel now uses FH2's own Xbox wheel force feedback (the game's original wheel programs run on the PC), exactly like on the Xbox. Only strength (up to 200%) and rumble can be scaled.

•Simpler wheel menu: the fork1 FFB profiles and tuning sliders are gone.

•Ready-made profiles in Optional/Profiles: Controller, Keyboard, Wheel.

•Fixed in-game texts: traffic changes need an Azimuth restart; fog only on Storm Island (sunny elsewhere).

Removed / changed compared to fork1

•H-pattern shifter removed from the menu: FH2 only knows shift up / shift down and ignores the gear of a shifter. Use the paddles (or E/Q on the keyboard).

•The fork1 FFB profiles (My Setup, Soft, Direct, Off-Road, Drift) and the extra FFB sliders are no longer in the menu.

Good to know

•While a wheel is plugged in, the game drives with the wheel only. To drive with keyboard or controller, set Wheel: Use Wheel In Game to Off and restart the game (or unplug the wheel).
