Who knows a wheel with analog levers?

[Der Abt]

Hi folks!

I have a friend, that is handicapped - he is paralysed below the waist, so he can't move his legs no more.:shrug:

He wants to drive LFS with a wheel, it is just the best control-device.

Is there a wheel with analog levers to control gas/brake with?

It would be possible to use the digital shifter-knobs for gas/brake, but not the best...

Thanks in advance!:thumb:

Possibly this, maybe someone who owns one could give an opinion.

I remember a thread like this back in the RSC forum days, and just found this.

using a Thrustmaster Ferrari wheel wich has 4 flaps behind the wheel. The upper ones he uses for shifting, and the lower ones for throttle and brake

So maybe that is the wheel above. The post I am refering to is this one:

My old Thrustmaster GT had those analogue levers on the wheel, they only work when you unplug the pedals which they then replace. I spent ages trying to get them to work with the pedals plugged in so I could use them for a progressive side view but no luck. I did spend a bit of time racing with the pedals unplugged just to see what it was like using hands instead of feet, it took a little while to get used to, but I was surprised how easy it was after a while, you dont even think about it.
I dare say the newer Thrustmaster/Guillement wheels also have the levers, good luck :)

I still have this wheel but i do use a DFP now because the pedals broke. The wheel itself is in a very goood condition as i did not race that often and never applied much force.

You can have it for free just postage and packaging.

I also have frend that needed hand controlls. I dont have any pics

May be I could draw aomething if it would help

I used bycle brake levers and replaced the pivot pins with the potentiometers shaft and a small wire and spring in the cable hole for return.
we didnt want to wrecK anything good so we used a new logitech nascar $30-40

wiring was very simple.

Ck out my current prodject

I have a thrustmaster 360 wheel just lying here for nothing, and guess what... the pedals are broken, but the levers still work. I can tell you the wheel works pretty good, but just as a side note, I broke two of them :shrug: But the first one was killed in a child-hanging-from-it-accident, and the second one was killed by... I think me, but I don't know how, the brake won't work :D And I messed up the wiring in there. All by all I would recommend it to your friend, and those thrustmasters are pretty cheap too. NO force feedback tho (the new ones may have it, don't really know)

He could try a analog gamepad + mouse setup like I used some time ago. I could be as fast as I am using a wheel. I used the analog stick from the gamepad as throttle/brake combined, and mouse to steer.


This kind of config I don't know if it's possible to use with other simulators.
