Doed the Digital Edge F1 Sim go under a different name in america, or is it
just *^&%? Hardly anyone seems to want to answer any questions about it you
see..........

Anyway, Does the F1Sim have a seperate axis throttle/brake? (Like the TM
Formula 1 - I'm sure it should, but I have neither seen it confirmed or
denied anywhere on the net).

Thankyou

Steve

Hi Steve,

As I recall it is not named *^&%? in America. It's called the DE
Indy....

Mine does....Via a switch in the pedal box. Be aware though, there are
versions without one....

Thanks for the reply.

I have seen the F1Sim Compact around for about half the price of the F1sim,
could this be what you mean with 'versions'? or are there actually different
versions of the F1Sim around?

Thanks

The later models of the F1 Sim/Indy (NOT the compact) seems not to
have the separate pedals switch. Thus both pedals on the same axis.

Never used either but I remember comments on this group and wib-sites
which described the 'Compact' as very inferior to the original F1sim.

Beware the compact version,
The wheel is a fine piece of work but the pedal box is a heap of sh*t. (Hence
the difference in price). It is a *** plastic 'U' shaped box with two square
rocker pedals attached. They have horizontal plastic lugs that act as rocker
fulcrums for pedal movement and are very fragile. I broke mine in about two
weeks from new.

In operation, they only work on one axis and have very little movemend from the
off position to fully depressed. This makes for very abrupt control.

I don't think the F1 Sim is marketed or publicised in the US? The
original makers (Interactive Racing - now called Ballracing
development) licenced Digital Edge to distribute (and
manufacture?) them.

However, they are on the net and can be purchased anywhere in the
World, and they will ship them anywhere you like (for a price).

Try....

for more info.

Yes, they can be set-up to use a separate axis for brake and
throttle.
