how can i make a rally/drift vertical e brake with a ps3 controller and a bar for the handbrake??????????? post idea's and photos..

As far as I know the hand brake in LFS can only be used as a button. So even if you had a analog leaver it would only engage and disengage the hand brake. Not having any in between.

Nope. You can setup the handbrake as an Axis (the same as Clutch, switching between button and axis).

Pull it down(where you want it to be 100%), click on the "C" next to its Axis(at the options) and then release it. Lock all the axis again and you are ready!

Now about ideas, well you can either glue it, use tap or whatever you can think and its easy for your room. What i use now is a Guitar Hero guitar and i reversed the whammy so instead of pushing it down, i pull it up! It looks idiotic but its really fun and the motion of the hands is the same, so it ROCKS!

Like 3 in this photo, http://www.ultimate-guitar.com ... /Floyd_rose_principle.gif

but rotated 180, so its outside of the guitar.

I have not been here for a while, just checked back to see if there had been any progress.

I went through quite a convoluted process to get a handbrake working for drifting.
I sourced an E30 handbrake on the cheap from ebay, ripped apart an old cheapo logitech wheel for the potentiometer & usb electronics then mounted it all on my desk in a pretty ghetto fashion using a few springs to retract the handbrake. It worked well but without a proper cockpit I had to mount the handbrake in a vertical drifty orientation between the wheel & gearstick on my desk. The main thing is fixing the pot to the base of the handbrake at its pivot point for a nice motion.

I cant get any pics atm because the racing desk has loads of junk piled up on it, I was hoping for some inspiration to fire up the old girl.

my axis handbrake mod

I just used my old joystick (and even new ones cost a few $ here) and DXTweak.

thanks, does anyone know how to make one with an old ps3 controller?

You can make it as hydraulic by attaching something on top of one of the 2 analog sticks. Make sure the controller is not gonna move once you use the e-brake though.

Here is my ebrake in action Lots of fun!
