Forza Horizon 5: Force Controller Key Bindings

CONTROLS SHOWN IN GAME AFTER CHANGES

After saving the InputTranslationManager.Profiles file the game will not reflect the changes in Settings > Controls > Change Input Mappings. Any controls you have set yourself will show as NONE ASSIGNED however they will still work.

For me TELEMETRY NEXT and PREV show as NONE ASSIGNED however using D Pad Left and Right switches telemetry pages.

THINGS TO NOTE WHEN EDITING THE FILE

When a control has no button assigned you will need to make sure that there is a / at the end.
For example

<Value Key="INPUTCMD_ANNA_ITEM_1"/>

<Value Key="INPUTCMD_QUICKCHAT_ACTIVATE"/>

<Value Key="INPUTCMD_QUICKCHAT_ACTIVATE"/>
<Value Key="INPUTCMD_GAME_CHAT_TEXT"/>
<Value Key="INPUTCMD_CONVERTIBLE_TRIGGER"/>

An example would be

<GamepadWheelInput Button="GamepadWheelInputDPad_Left" ButtonHigh="GamepadWheelInputNone"/>
</Value>

<Value Key="INPUTCMD_ACTIVATE">
        <GamepadWheelInput Button="GamepadWheelInputXButton" ButtonHigh="GamepadWheelInputNone"/>
</Value>

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\YOURACCOUNTID\1551360\remote\2535458771337359

The YOURACCOUNTID would be a bunch of numbers relating to your ID i think. I don’t know if the remote code is the same or not for everyone but it should be the only folder that shows up.

Anyway, in that folder you should see InputTranslationManager.Profiles. Double click it and then either select Notepad, Notepad++ (if you have it) or Visual Studio (which is what i’ll be using in this guide)

Once it is open you should see a wall of code. Don’t worry I’ll show you what to do next

Once the file is open you will need to scroll down until you see

<ControllerProfile Version="3" Id="dd1490a2-1e85-44e5-aba6-b5701db85491" UserFacingName="IDS_CustomControllerProfile_1" IsDefaultProfile="1" WheelVidPid="0">

If you are wanting to edit to the second custom controller profile then look for UserFacingName=”IDS_CustomControllerProfile_2″ in the ControllerProfile heading

MAPPING CONTROLS

Once you have located the desire mapping profile you can scroll down until you find the control you want to map.

MAPPING AN EXISTING CONTROL

If you want to change an existing mapping then you will need to do the following

Locate a control that already has a control mapped so for example the ACTIVATE button.

You will need to look for Button=”GamepadWheelInputXButton” under <Value Key=”INPUTCMD_ACTIVATE”>

<GamepadWheelInput Button="GamepadWheelInputXButton" ButtonHigh="GamepadWheelInputNone"/>

Button="GamepadWheelInputYButton"

Button="GamepadWheelInputRightShoulderButton"

A complete remap should look like this

MAPPING TO A NONE ASSIGNED CONTROL

If you are wanting to map a control that originally didn’t have any buttons assigned the you will need to do the following. As noted at the top of the guide, NONE ASSIGNED controls will have a / at the end.

Locate the control so for example we will map the radio left button since I have not set any assigned controls for it

<Value Key="INPUTCMD_RADIO_LEFT"/>

Remove the / at the end of the Value Key and enter <GamepadWheelInput followed by what control you want to map so for me this would be Button=”GamepadWheelInputDPad_Left” and then ButtonHigh=”GamepadWheelInputNone”/> at the end (entered below the value key). You will also need to add </Value> under the mapping

Before code

After code

Delete

<GamepadWheelInput Button="GamepadWheelInputDPad_Left" ButtonHigh="GamepadWheelInputNone"/>
      </Value>

Instead of

<Value Key="INPUTCMD_SWITCH_CAMERA">

it would be

<Value Key="INPUTCMD_SWITCH_CAMERA"/>

Funny fact
