Wheel/pedal combo

: OK we all know that using a wheel and pedal combo for nascar is a : must. No wthat i have the time and the money i plan on building my : "dream machine" for auto sims. What i want to know is in IYHO should : i use digital or analog brakes. i definaly will be using anolog : throttle to ease partial speeds (pit road and following the pacer) Well for better control I would want analog brakes. Sometimes all you need is just a touch of the brake, especially on the 2 road circuits. -- **************************** Michael E.

I agree. It takes a little getting used to (if you're used to a joystick and buttons set up as accelerator and brake) but it's worth the effort. After all, the real cars have analog controls.

I own a lovely Extreme Competition Controls' CDS wheel/pedal system. It has 4 buttons on the wheel. Only my Papyrus products support use of more than 2 buttons. You can program the 3rd for reverse, but the 4th remains unused. Still, very nice! As for analog/digital brakes I'd be analog all the way, as my CDS pedals are. This gives great control IMO. When I used the fire button on my joystick for braking I had to control the braking with the gas by pushing the stick forward (which gave me analog gas).
