BallRacing Developments has specifically designed two new models of force-feedback steering control systems for use in the commercial and professional simulation environment.
BRD Sim – Pro-ST
Aimed at the open-wheel race car market, this model allows for approximately 300 degrees of turn lock to lock. The Pro-ST is fitted as standard in our F1 and generic open-wheel race car and cockpit models and is available, subject to agreement, as a stand-alone device for clients' own simulator projects.
BRD Sim – Pro-MT
The Pro-MT model targets the requirements of typically closed-wheel format racing, as well as the road-driver training markets. This multi-turn version, features 1080 degrees, three full-turns, lock to lock.
Standard Features of both models
Very strong, with no belts or potentiometers to wear out or break.
High resolution optical encoders for perfect linearity and guaranteed years of use.
Unique, sleek cast aluminium housing which allows the controls to be fitted in narrow spaces.
Auto-calibrating control electronics for ease of set-up and use.
Very powerful force-feedback through the steering developing loadings, similar to that felt in an actual race car.
Ideal as a tool for race driver-training as it develops the relevant muscles used in race car steering.
The strength of the force-feedback is fully controllable through the software drivers provided with the steering system.
Supplied with or without steering wheel.
Custom-built steering hub design to allow mounting of a range of different steering wheels from race to road type. There are two models of steering wheel available from BRD: F1-type and GT-type. Both offer multiple programmable buttons and optional working LCD screen displays.
The hub is quick release as standard.
Independent sequential paddle shift gear levers.
Independent paddle clutch levers on the steering hub.
Force-feedback is compatible with Immersion force-feedback effects.
Supplied with 24volt switch-mode power supply, compatible worldwide.
Control electronics supplied in separate module with all necessary cables.
