sorry, do you mean it's for pc? what about ps2? will it work too?

I think it can work as long as game supports both the wheel and the controller at the same time. Lets say you create it for Gran turismo 4 and 5. It will work because those games recognize both The wheel and the controller at the same time. I am not sure about other games. First to find out plug the wheel and controller, go race and see if you can steer with the wheel and press a button on a controller to make the Ebrake work.

it would be awesome to get an old car handbrake and hook it up to a switch so you when you pulled up on it it would active the handbrake. it wouldn't be analog, but it would sure make things more realistic, especially if you have a full GT25 cockpit setup already.

I see.. I will try it
thanks

Yeah, the (o) button still works when the wheel is plugged in, im using that theory to work on my cockpit project

I've just taken apart an old ps2 controller and got a ps2 - ps3 connection off ebay, so when i make my cockpit I'll try and put a handbrake in.

If i don't buy an old 1 I'll make a wooden 1.

Any ideas

So all you have to do, is make some kind of Mechanism, lever so that and stick the controller simply under that leaver

 

[Nicecar]

Actually no, its even easier than that ^^^

All you need is 12v and a relay, so when the handbrake is up, the relay triggers and connects the terminals across the (o) button, putting the handbrake on in game too!.

Nice , post pics one you are done.
It be also good if you play good sim racing games, that would come in handy for some rally

Is there anyone who has a working external Handbrake for DFGT?
