- will these be compatible with my wheel?
Thanks in advance.
Rick
to reduce the pedal rake (there is alot of travel in its standard setup)
adjust the spacers on the outside of the pedal unit, one on each side (a
little bit fiddly as the springs get in the way)

Thanks for your advice, but I'm pretty sure your description is NOT for the
"compact" version of the wheel.

: Thanks for your advice, but I'm pretty sure your description is NOT for the
: "compact" version of the wheel.
I used to have the F1 Sim compact and, to be honest, would advise you
to ditch it ASAP. The pedals only have about 1-2cm of travel - not
enough for accurate acceleration. Even new steering pots drift all the
time. Also, the *** tube "centering" mechanism was dodgy as hell on
mine.
There's no easy way to convert it to split axis - I bought a load of
electrical components to build such a thing but never got round to it.
I bought a MSFF to replace the F1 Sim the third time the pedals broke.

The origional poster is talking about the F1 Sim *COMPACT* pedals, not
the *FULL* size pedals.
You cannot, AFAIK? convert the F1 Sim compact pedals for split axis. The
pedals on this unit are not very good at all, there are small, plastic
and do not have a lot of pedal travel, they act like digital on/off
switches, even though they are actually analogue. The full sized pedals,
are all steel construction, (based on real F1 pedals) have lots of
travel, and are easily adjustable for rake angle, the amount of travel,
resistance and one pedals *** over the other.
But its worth buying the (cheap) compact set-up just for the steering
wheel IMHO. (I have both a full sized F1 Sim *and* an F1 Sim compact, as
well as an old T2).

According to their website:
BRD Sim - F1 Pedal unit = 99.00 English Pounds, or 139.02 US Dollars.
Still worth it?

So when pals come over to visit (and we inevitably end up in my study
playing pc games) we fight over who gets the full sized F1 Sim (and the
fastest pc!)
The T2 has been relegated to the "spares" box......Now, if only I had
*three* pc's!!!
The T2 has a sort of standard game port type connector between the wheel
and pedals, not sure about other makes. Sorry, others may know the
answer to this.....?
