How many of you use the Gyro on your Ally?
I’ve loved using the ROG Ally for its performance and portability, but I hadn’t explored its gyro functionality—until now. After making a few adjustments, the dynamic completely shifted in Forza Horizon 5. Using the gyro adds a whole new layer to the game which I didn't expect.
The real breakthrough came with fine-tuning the gyro settings. At default, the input sensitivity both in-game and in gyro parameters makes the steering a little unpredictable. However, adjusting the gyro sensitivity in Armoury Crate allowed me to strike a balance after changing a couple of functions within the game.
Calibration: Start by ensuring the gyro is properly calibrated using the Armoury Crate settings. Navigate to the Calibration section under Settings, place the Ally on a flat surface, and complete the calibration process. This helps eliminate any potential "ghost" movements that could interfere with precision.

Customizing Gyro Sensitivity and Behavior: In the game profile (also set via Armoury Crate)
Here are the settings I found to be the most favourable in emulating steering. However, might be subjective and also depends on the car being used.
Under Library, Press X on FH5 and select Set Game Profile
Scroll down to Gyro.
Set Sensitivity to 160%
Gyro Behavior: Set this to act As Left Stick.
Scroll down to Smoothing and Set 5%.
Within Forza Horizon 5, set Steering Linearity to roughly 65-70%. This results in a more responsive feel under heavy turning that seems to work well.
