Show HN: Apex Copilot, a real-time telemetry HUD and race log for Forza Horizon6
Apex Copilot is a real-time telemetry HUD and race log tool for Forza Horizon 6, built to display live driving data and performance metrics during gameplay.
Background
- Forza Horizon 6 is an open-world racing game from Xbox Game Studios / Playground Games (part of the Forza franchise); "Show HN" indicates a project shared on Hacker News, a tech-community forum.
- Telemetry HUD (heads-up display): an on-screen overlay that shows live car/race data (speed, RPM, lap times, G-forces, etc.), normally found in racing sims but not natively in arcade-style Horizon games.
- Apex Copilot is a third-party tool built by a solo developer that reads game data in real time and displays a custom dashboard, plus a log of race events — useful for players who want to analyze performance or get a more "sim-like" experience inside a casual game.
- This matters because it shows how hobbyist developers extend commercial games beyond their original design, and because Forza Horizon lacks official support for granular telemetry on PC.
