Installing the app

  1. 01

    Install it

    GhostGauge on your Android phone, tablet, or PC. Open it and link it to your account.

  2. 02

    Point Forza at it

    The app puts its address on screen. Type that into Forza’s Data Out.

    WAITING FOR FORZA DATA OUT
    IP ADDRESS
    192.168.1.24
    PORT
    29001
    ● clears itself when data arrives
  3. 03

    Drive

    Every race records itself. Nothing to press, and the screen can stay off.

01

Install it

Open GhostGauge on the machine that will do the recording.

Any Windows PC, Android phone or tablet — it need not be the one running the game.

  1. Open the menu, top right, and scroll to ACCOUNT.
  2. Choose Link this PC to GhostGauge — or Link this device on a phone or tablet.
  3. An eight-character code appears, good for ten minutes.
  4. Type it in at ghostgauge.pro/activate, signed in to your account.

The menu then reads Signed in and asks for a Race Driver name — the name your times race under. Codes never contain I, L, O or U, so those are a 1 or a 0.

Not signed yet

GhostGauge is not code-signed yet, so expect a warning before it installs.

Windows

Windows will say unknown publisher. Click More info, then Run anyway.

A signed installer is on the roadmap.

Android

GhostGauge is not on the Play Store, so the first time you open the file, Android asks permission to install from this source. The source is the app you opened it with — your browser, or your files app — not GhostGauge.

Allow it, then install. You can switch that permission back off afterward.

02

Point Forza at it

The app puts its address on screen. Type it into Forza's telemetry settings.

GhostGauge holds up a card headed WAITING FOR FORZA DATA OUT carrying an IP ADDRESS and a PORT. If it lists more than one address, any of them works.

On the device running the game: Settings → HUD & Gameplay → Telemetry → Data Out.

  1. Data Out
    ON
  2. Data Out IP Address
    the address the app showed you
  3. Data Out IP Port
    29001, or the port it showed you

Back out to save. GhostGauge turns LIVE within seconds.

Drive

That is the setup, and you only do it once.

Your races are waiting under My Races.

Worth knowing

Game on one device, GhostGauge on another

Same steps, but both devices must be on the same network — not a guest network. If your router offers AP isolation or client isolation, turn it off.

On Windows, that PC must accept incoming UDP 29001 and TCP 29101 — GhostGauge asks once on first run, so say yes.

What to run it on

Laid out for a 15-inch monitor or a 10-inch tablet, with a phone version too. None of it is required — it records with nothing on screen.

Older Forza titles

GhostGauge reads the older Forza telemetry format too — if the game offers a choice of Data Out format, pick Dash.

If it never goes green

Forza sends Data Out to one place only. If another telemetry app already has it, GhostGauge gets nothing.

Re-read the address too — a router that hands out addresses automatically can change it after a reboot. The FAQ runs the rest of the checks.
