What to do if your wheel has an input axis mapped incorrectly or flipped/inverted?
- In your Steam Library, right-click Forza Horizon 5 and select Properties...
- Select Local Files, then Browse…
- Open the media folder
- Copy inputmappingprofiles.zip somewhere safe as a backup.
- Unzip inputmappingprofiles.zip
- In the inputmappingprofiles folder, find the DefaultRawGameControllerMapping* file that matches your wheel. (e.x. DefaultRawGameControllerMappingProfileThrustmasterTX458.xml)
- Add a DInput* attribute to modify the behavior you are seeing. (See below for examples on how to use the attributes)
- Rezip inputmappingprofiles.zip
- Launch Forza Horizon 5.
The DInput attribute keys are:
- DInputIndex – Override "Index" value for the command. Use this if a mapping is not correct (e.x. gas pedal is mapping to brake as in the example image below)
- DInputInvertAxis – Override "InvertAxis" value. Use this if an axis is working but is flipped/inverted (e.x. handbrake is on by default and turns off when you pull it)
- DInputFFBInvertAxis - Invert/flip the force feedback direction. Use this if the force feedback is working but flipped/inverted (e.x. when you turn into a corner, the wheel is not trying to center but instead pulling harder into the corner)
Example of how the DInputIndex and DInputInvertAxis keys should be used.
