force feedback pedals...
hi. i just wanna know if there are sumwhere sum force feedback pedals available to buy?

would be cool to feel the throttle in the pedals and same with the brakes

anyone has sum info for me?

thx in advance regards..

you can FEEL the throttle? :S

Not sue there are any sims that support it tbh
NOOB QUESTION ALERT:
What is force feedback?
Is it where you feel the steering wheel fighting back?

yes, thats it, although he is talking about it in reference to the pedals

what the ? lol

EASY,,, almost all wheels have FFB, but not PEDALS

i compare with my car,
when i start the engine, the pedals are vibrating from the engine...
i have no brake assistant or any other stuff, i brake directly (not like the flintstones surely)
would be cool to have ffb pedals u know?!

the only thing it would be needed for is the brake... It would be good though to feel the brake pedal working - I know on my Toyota Yaris you can feel the brake pressure through the pedal, sometimes it pushes alot, sometimes it pushes only a little bit, also when I slam on the brakes you can feel the ABS working through the pedal, I'm sure that if you lock the wheels up on a non-ABS car then you can feel it through the pedal. it would be really cool to have such a thing for and in LFS

I wonder who the first company to make FFB pedals will be and which sim will be the first to support it... it's going to happen, the way technology is right now, trouble is, we don't know when! possibly the next Logitech wheel after the G25, who knows! :P
Vibrating pedals might as well be issue with your car. On my car I don't have shaky pedals

Only thing (that I can think of) that could be done by using FF on pedals is when you brake on uneven surface so the unevennes can be felt through the brake pedal. But there are better and more compatible solutions than FF
try checking in the hardware section, there could be something in there somewhere. i think ffb pedals would be cool.
Im still using the Squash Ball mod for my brake pedal. not exactly force feedback but hey, its better than nothing.
Yes, the squashball mod rules. Braking is so much better if you actually have resistance on the pedal.

You may have a newer and more expensive car - my '92 Polo has shaky pedals, chassis noise, other interesting noises, permanent heating and everything you could wish for. except a pony. polos usually don't come with ponys.
(I hate my random thoughts)
Do they come with a free pack of spearmint Polo's though. They should do.

how does the calibration for the squash ball mod work? it's always made me curious! might have to try it!
What IS the squashball mod?

on (most) pedals the brake pedal has no (or very little) resistance, by putting a nice hard(-ish) squashball between the bottom of the pedal and the base (so that it is wedged when you push down the brakes), this makes it harder to push it down and makes it feel more "lifelike" (well from my very limited driving experience brake pedals need much more resistance, my Momo's pedals had some resistance, but because Logitech cannot make working pedals to save their life i use a set of Sidewinder pedals and i can push the pedals with my finger )

...i think!
I have Logitech pedals and i can push them with my finger. In fact I always find myself breaking using just the tip of my toe on most occasions. I dunno why though.

which wheel do you have?
Logitech Formula Vibration Force Feedback Wheel.

It's also that NASCAR wheel you can get but it's got the Logitech symbol in the middle instead of the NASCAR one.
Apart from ABS and TC shaking the pedals I've never felt anything through the pedals. You shouldn't be able to feel the brakes locking through them, and the throttle obviously has no feedback. It's just a spring after all.

The only way to get a decent pedal is to use a force-sensitive device, but they aren't cheap.

Edit: Clutch has a certain amount of feedback, but it's linked to the seat of your pants too, which no pedal set could recreate. Force Dynamics anyone?

Never feel something when I push the throttle in a real car.
pedals shake when you hit a small tractor tyre on the ground and dent your bumper . ahh, good old days. before police men.
Teeth shake when you do that.
Just use a subwoofer as a base for your pedals.
lol. I don't think you'd be able to drive because of the vibrations then.
Quote from bootlegapparel :your accelerator and brake won't need any ffb, the brake needs resistance, and something that would be nice would be variable resistance, say when you boil your brake fluid the brake becomes spoungy. That might be a basic ffb.
The clutch on the other hand could have ffb, but it'd have to have the software link the clutch force to the accelerator.

Probably wouldn't be too hard to make, hard to program for though i imagine.

why in the world would you need FFB for a clutch? I mean, if you really want it, it's understandable for the brake, but the clutch?
