Topic: Launcher and Azimuth
Forza Horizon 2 was made for a controller. Azimuth passes a controller through, so keyboard and mouse need a helper. FH2MP works with all of these.
Azimuth Mapper (keyboard, mouse, wheels, phone)
Azimuth Mapper turns your keyboard, mouse, a gamepad or even your phone into a virtual Xbox controller. It never changes game files.
1. On Windows, install the ViGEmBus driver (the installer is in the download).
2. Start Azimuth Mapper first, then start the game. Newer versions can start the game for you: pick the game's exe inside Mapper.
3. Set up your keys and save them as a profile.
Handy keys: F5 shows which key does what, F8 pauses the mapper (this frees the mouse cursor).
If the game doesn't react on "Press A to start" or the cursor is stuck in the middle of the screen: close both, then start Mapper first and the game second.
FH2Mouse (mouse in menus)
FH2Mouse is a Mod Platform mod that adds a mouse cursor to menus, the map, the garage and photo mode. Left click is A, right click is B, the side buttons are LB/RB, the wheel scrolls. Put it in fh2-mods.
Useful keys in the game
•F1 hides the HUD.
•F3 toggles the lights.
Custom controller layout
To move actions to other buttons on a controller, use CustomBindings: after installing, choose Settings > Controls > Layout > Custom Layout 1 in the game.
