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

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 Steve

>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? 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. Remco
Never used either but I remember comments on this group and wib-sites which described the 'Compact' as very inferior to the original F1sim. (to put it politely) -- Mike Wallace [Member of the Worlds Greatest Hotlap Competition]

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. Mark

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.... http:\\www.interactiveracing.com or.... for more info. Yes, they can be set-up to use a separate axis for brake and throttle. 8-) *Peter* 8-) (NB: remove asterix to e-mail)
