<h1 align="center">FH2 ANNA</h1>
ANNA, the in-car assistant from Forza Horizon 3/4/5/6, brought to Forza Horizon 2 on PC (Azimuth). Forza Horizon 2 kept ANNA's HUD hidden away; FH2 ANNA turns it back on with Forza Horizon 3's look, round minimap, glowing edge and the list beside it, and fills it with things to do while you drive. Other mods can add their own entries to it.
FH2 ANNA is a mod for the FH2 Mod Platform.
Car
•Enable Auto Drive: the car drives itself along your GPS route. Greyed out until a route is set. A few seconds in, the camera switches to slow cinematic shots and the HUD hides; touch the gas, brake or steering to take over. Works online too.
•Lights: headlights, hazard lights, left and right indicators. Headlights shine in daylight too, and pop-up headlights open and close with them.
•Doors: open or close all, the roof, hood, trunk, each door, storage compartments, pop-up headlights and active spoilers, whatever the car can move. The Lights and Doors lists stay open so you can flip things back and forth.
•Tune Car: opens the game's tuning screen, as the pause menu's Tune Car tile does (backing out of it leaves you on the pause menu).
Set Route To Nearest: Race, Bucket List, Festival, Barn Find or Bonus Board.
Start Matchmaking for: Online Road Trip, Online Freeroam, Private Online Road Trip or Private Online Freeroam, started straight from the road without opening the pause menu. Can be hidden on the Mods page.
Talk to ANNA like on the Xbox with Kinect. Turn on Voice commands on the Mods page, then while driving:
| Say | ANNA |
|---|---|
| "ANNA" | Wakes up and listens: the ring round the minimap lights up |
| "Set Route To Nearest" | Opens that list |
| "Race" | Chooses it, shows it chosen, and does it |
| "ANNA, Enable Auto Drive" | Does it straight away |
| "ANNA, set GPS to the nearest Bonus Boards" | Also fine: list names, plurals and the usual ways of asking work |
| "Back" / "Close" | Goes back a list / puts ANNA to sleep |
You can say anything the menu shows right now, as it reads now ("Close Hood" once the hood's open), and other mods' entries too. Once ANNA's awake, from "ANNA" or from D-pad down, you don't need to say "ANNA" again; it goes back to sleep after 10 seconds of quiet.
Voice commands use Windows' own speech recognition, offline, and your default microphone. A headset works much better than speakers. Windows only has speech recognition for some languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese); without one for the game's language, ANNA listens in English if Windows has that. If nothing happens, check Windows Settings > Privacy & security > Microphone > Let desktop apps access your microphone.
ANNA speaks the game's language: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish (Spain and Mexico), Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Traditional Chinese, following the game's text language (or the one Extra Options sets). Names of places and modes are the game's own. Czech and Hungarian stay in English, as the game does. The Mods page rows follow from the next launch after a language change.
| Controller | Keyboard (FH2 Mouse & Keyboard) | Does |
|---|---|---|
| Tap D-pad down | C | Open ANNA (C again closes it) |
| D-pad up / down | I / K | Move up / down the list |
| D-pad right | L | Choose |
| D-pad left | J | Back (closes ANNA from the top list) |
Holding D-pad down still opens the telemetry, as before. While ANNA is open, the D-pad is ANNA's, so it doesn't change the radio station.
FH2 ANNA reads the controller only. The keyboard keys come from FH2 Mouse & Keyboard, which presses the D-pad for you and shows its keys in ANNA's button pictures while you play on the keyboard. Change them on Pause > Settings > Keyboard & Mouse (the ANNA rows).
1. Download the latest FH2ANNA-<version>.zip from [Releases](../../releases).
2. Extract it into your Azimuth folder, the one with azimuth.exe in it. You should end up with DWrite.dll next to azimuth.exe, and FH2ANNA.dll in the fh2-mods folder.
[!WARNING]
FH2ANNA.dllgoes in `fh2-mods`, not in Extra Options'modsfolder. FH2 ANNA is a platform mod, not an Extra Options plugin: inmodsit won't load properly.
3. Start the game. ANNA's label sits under the minimap; tap D-pad down while driving.
The zip includes the FH2 Mod Platform (DWrite.dll). If you already have it from another mod, keep whichever is newer.
ANNA needs the minimap on in the game's HUD options. With the minimap off, ANNA's off too.
On Pause > Settings > MODS:
| Setting | Default | Does |
