    Hi All,

    Been a member of ISRTV and lurker hear, so though I would become a member.

    Great information to be had, but hopefully you accept me as I have Vesaro with 2DOF D-Box system.

    I wrok full time in IT, but I'm a qualified spray Painter, and do a lot of restoration work on Pinball machines and motorbikes.

    Also in Army reserves, so thought I would spoil myself and save for the 3" 4DOf D-Box set up, expensive, but hell why not.

    Anyway, hopefully I'm welcome at a site like this, where it's mostly DIY...

    Great reading all this stuff

    Cool thanks.

    I'll have to get updated photos, currently renting while trying to get a house built.

    I do have some photo's of the Handbrake mount I custom made, (and shows a bit of the rig on the side)

    but alas I can't post photo's until I believe I have min of 5 posts..

    My wife and I just finished building our house. I have been Sim-less for a year! :) Just getting it back together now.

    Yes, that is to help keep the forum clear of spam. Just participate in discussions that you find interesting and you will be up and running in no time. But do try not to spam the forums with meaningless posts, that will result in an automatic ban :(

    I look forward to seeing your custom handbrake. I went the DIY route for my handbrake as well. Hopefully by now Arsetto Corsa supports analog handbrakes.

    @Historiker , your analog handbrake, do you use a switch for it? If so, then yes, it should support it as I use a hacked button box for my DIY shifter with G27 on Assetto Corsa

    Hi Dave, I could add a switch to it yes but that would defeat the purpose of a hand brake. I wanted a gradient of brake force rather than full on or full off. But thanks for the tip, I might have to add a micro switch eventually just for those games that do not have analog support.

    mmm...dunno, test with a dpad with analog sticks first. That will answer your question.

    I should know as soon as I fire up the game again. There will be an analog input setting for hand brake. There was not last year when I packed up the simulator but by now I have to believe that they would have implemented it. There was a loud call by supporters for it, including Derek Spears and other Sim accessory makers.

    Thanks, Apologies I meant custom Handbrake mount.

    I was given a Fanatic handbrake as a present but needed to design and make a mount


    great thanks, making a new post now
