Overview

A fully customisable Forza Horizon 5-style speedometer for GTA V. The needle sweeps like an ignition check, follows RPM, wobbles at the rev limiter, and shows your speed on three clean digits.

Driving aids — ABS, Traction Control, and Launch Control — work in the background and blink on the gauge. Everything can be adjusted through the in-game menu by pressing F11.

Important

If you did not download this mod from one of the sources above, it was not uploaded or authorized by me — even if the site in question credits me as the author.

Copies found on other websites may be outdated, modified, incomplete, deprecated, or bundled with malware, viruses, or other unwanted files. I am not responsible for any damage, malware, game issues, crashes, or other problems caused by copies obtained from unofficial sources.

Support is provided only for copies downloaded from the official locations listed above. I am unable to offer support or troubleshooting for mods obtained elsewhere.

GTA V Enhanced Compatibility Notice

The included texture archive (YTD) has been converted and tested for compatibility with GTA V Enhanced and works correctly on my installation, including the game running multiple add-on vehicles, graphics modifications and other mods.

However, due to differences in individual game installations and mod combinations, compatibility cannot be guaranteed for every setup.

If You Experience Issues

If you experience any of the following after installation:

White or missing textures
Black screen
HUD textures failing to load
Game crashes during startup
Rendering issues

please try the following before assuming the mod is incompatible:

Close OpenIV completely.
Restart GTA V.
Repeat this process up to three times, allowing the game to fully rebuild and reload the modified texture archives.

In most cases, this resolves temporary texture streaming issues.

If the issue still persists after multiple restarts:

Remove the modified texture archive from scaleform_generic.rpf.
Remove FSS.dll and FSS.ini from the scripts folder.

In this case use it on legacy version.

Note

This behaviour is related to GTA V Enhanced's texture loading and streaming system rather than the Speedometer itself.

Installation (GTA V Legacy)

Install the required tools: Script Hook V, Script Hook V .NET, and LemonUI.
Go inside the SHVDN3 folder and place LemonUI.SHVDN3.dll in your scripts folder.
Copy the FSS.dll and FSS.ini files from the Forza script folder into your GTA V scripts folder.

Go inside the Legacy folder and add ForzaSpeedometerFH5.ytd to:

mods\update\update.rpf\x64\data\cdimages\scaleform_generic.rpf\

Launch the game and press F11.

Installation (GTA V Enhanced)

The installation procedure is the same as the Legacy version above, with a couple of Enhanced-specific additions.

Install the required tools: Script Hook V, Script Hook V .NET, and LemonUI.
Go inside the SHVDN3 folder and place LemonUI.SHVDN3.dll in your scripts folder.
Copy the FSS.dll and FSS.ini files from the Forza script folder into your GTA V scripts folder.
Go inside the Enhanced folder and add ForzaSpeedometerFH5.ytd to the same path used for Legacy:
```
mods\update\update.rpf\x64\data\cdimages\scaleform_generic.rpf\
```
Install RageOpenV and DirectStorageFix into your GTA V Enhanced root folder.
Launch the game and press F11.

Requirements

Script Hook V — https://www.dev-c.com/gtav/scripthookv/
Script Hook V .NET — https://www.gta5-mods.com/tools/script-hook-v-net-enhanced
LemonUI — https://www.gta5-mods.com/tools/lemonui
DirectStorageFix — https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/directstoragefix
RageOpenV — https://www.gta5-mods.com/tools/rageopenv

Updating from v1.1

Delete the old FSS.dll and FSS.ini from your scripts folder. Also delete the old ForzaSpeedometerFH5.ytd from your scaleform_generic.rpf.
Copy the new FSS.dll and FSS.ini into scripts.
Add the new ForzaSpeedometerFH5.ytd using OpenIV (inside the scaleform_generic.rpf archive).
Launch the game.

Default Controls

All controls can be changed in FSS.ini or via the in-game menu.

Keyboard

Key	Action
F11	Open settings menu
Z	Start / stop engine
Numpad 1	Toggle Launch Control
Numpad 2	Toggle Traction Control
Numpad 3	Toggle ABS
L	Toggle reverse mode (if Manual Reverse is enabled)

Gamepad

Hold ScriptRRight and press PhoneUp to open the menu.

Driving Aids

ABS — Assisted Braking System

Provides braking assistance under heavy stopping. Slim mode gives moderate stopping help. Aggressive mode provides faster, stronger stopping power.

Launch Control

Prevents wheelspin when accelerating from a stop, giving more consistent launches.

Traction Control

Cuts engine power if the wheels lose grip. Sport allows light wheelspin. Aggressive catches wheelspin instantly.

Manual Reverse

When enabled, the game will not reverse automatically. Press L to enter reverse mode manually.

INI Configuration Reference

This section documents every setting inside FSS.ini. No coding knowledge is required — open the file with Notepad, find the setting you want, and change it. You can also adjust most settings through the in-game menu (F11). Edit the .ini file only if you prefer to type exact numbers or cannot open the menu.

No settings match that search.

[Global]

Setting	Default	Options	Description
Enable Mod	True	True / False	True = speedometer is on. False = everything is switched off.
EngineKey	Z	Any key	Keyboard key that starts or stops the engine. Can be any key such as `E`, `X`, etc.
EnableManualEngineControl	True	True / False	True = you decide when the engine is on or off using the EngineKey. False = the game handles the engine normally; the speedometer still shows RPM but you cannot turn the engine off with your key.
UseMPH	False	True / False	False = speed shown in km/h. True = speed shown in mph.
LogLevel	Info	Debug / Info / Warning / Error	Controls how much detail is written to `scripts\FFSlog.txt`. Info is recommended for normal use. See warning below.
EnablePerformanceProfiler	False	True / False	Advanced testing only. When True, writes frame times to `scripts\FSS_Profile.csv`. Keep False unless you are checking performance.

Warning

LogLevel = Debug
Setting LogLevel to Debug makes the mod write every tiny action to scripts\FFSlog.txt. The file grows very quickly — after a few hours of gameplay it can reach hundreds of megabytes.

Only use Debug mode if you are trying to find a recurring bug or crash, and switch back to Info as soon as you finish. If you forget and the log becomes too large, the mod will automatically archive it to FFSlog.old, but you can also safely delete both files at any time.

[Keyboard]

Setting	Default	Description
MenuKey	F11	Key that opens the mod menu. Can be changed to any key such as `F10`.
EngineKey	Z	Key to start/stop the engine. Overrides the Global EngineKey if you want different behaviour.

[Gamepad]

Setting	Default	Description
ModifierMenu	ScriptRRight	The button you hold on a controller to open the menu together with KeyMenu.
KeyMenu	PhoneUp	The button you press while holding the modifier to open the menu.
EnableRumble	True	Master switch for all gamepad vibration. False turns off all rumble.
RumbleStrength	0.5	How strong the controller vibrates. `0.0` = no vibration, `1.0` = maximum. Accepts decimals such as `0.3` or `0.8`.

[Visuals]

Setting	Default	Options	Description
SpeedDisplayMode	0	0 / 1	0 = Classic text digits (smooth, simple). 1 = High-quality textured digits (sharper, more Forza-like).
HideVanillaVehicleInfo	True	True / False	True hides the default vehicle name, area name, and street name from the bottom-right of the screen. False leaves the vanilla HUD visible.

[CarControl]

Setting	Default	Options	Description
EnableCarControl	True	True / False	Master switch for all driving aids. True enables ABS, Traction Control, and Launch Control. False disables all of them.
AllowBurnouts	True	True / False	True allows wheel spin when holding brake and throttle at very low speed. False prevents burnouts completely.
NeedleMotorMode	0	0 / 1	Controls how the needle moves. 0 = PMDC (Slow Fall) — needle drops gently, like an older car. 1 = Stepper (Precise) — needle tracks RPM more sharply.
ABSEnabled	True	True / False	Turns ABS on or off. Only active when EnableCarControl is True.
ABSMode	0	0 / 1	0 = Slim — moderate stopping help. 1 = Aggressive — faster, stronger stopping power.
LCEnabled	True	True / False	Turns Launch Control on or off.
TCSEnabled	True	True / False	Turns Traction Control on or off.
TCSMode	0	0 / 1	0 = Sport — allows a little wheelspin. 1 = Aggressive — catches wheelspin quickly.

[FH5] — Layout & Position Settings

Everything in this section controls where each part of the speedometer appears on screen and how large it is. All values can be adjusted through the in-game menu (F11 → FH5 Theme submenu). Only edit these manually if you need to enter exact coordinates.

Setting	Description
Global_Scale	Scales the entire speedometer uniformly. `1.0` = normal size, `1.5` = 50% larger.
Global_OffsetX	Moves the entire speedometer left or right.
Global_OffsetY	Moves the entire speedometer up or down.
Gauge_X / Gauge_Y	Position of the main gauge disc on screen.
Gauge_Size	Size of the main gauge disc.
Speed_X / Speed_Y	Position of the speed digits in classic text mode.
Speed_Scale	Size of the speed digits in classic text mode.
TexSpeed_X / TexSpeed_Y	Position of the speed digits in texture mode.
TexSpeed_Scale	Size of the speed digits in texture mode.
Needle_StartAngle	Angle at which the needle rests when at zero RPM.
WobbleAmp	Amplitude of the needle wobble at the rev limiter.

Note

All remaining values in the [FH5] section control the look and feel of the gauge. The easiest way to explore them is through the in-game menu.
