ForzaShiftTone

Windows GUI application to provide a shift tone in Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon 4/5.

example v0.76 BMW M5 2018

TL;DR

  • Per gear: Drive around on flat tarmac until you hear a double beep
    • Maintain fixed speed if it has trouble locking the gear ratio
  • On a flat straight: Apply full throttle starting from low rpm until you hear a triple beep
    • Use a gear with low/no wheelspin
    • Try again if you hit the rev limiter with no triple beep
  • Be aware that false positives exist: not every beep is an upshift.

  • It is unknown whether the Data Out functions on the consoles at all
