The Speed7 pedal features section on the BRD website mentions programable "pedal electronics" that allows the throttle (and I presume the brake?) range to be adjusted in some sense -- the example they use is programming the throttle so that 90% of the throttle is applied in the first portion of pressing the pedal. Of course, other percentages also. So...do I have this right... with this feature one could make the throttle/brake range less sensitive near the limits, for finer control? Can someone who has tried the pedals state whether that feature actually works and how well? Likewise, does such a feature exist in some form, software (or hardware for that matter) for any other pedals?

When you calibrate it, you can set the final amount of "travel read" to be as hard as you want to stomp on it. It's resistance approaches infinity, just like a real brake pedal. One of the best features of the pedals IMHO.

Have that on my LWFF too. Did cost me appr. $1.5 :-) Love it. JensSchumi On Tue, 10 Sep 2002 19:06:55 GMT, Jeffrey Haas <[email hidden]> wrote:
