Fanatec hanbrake issue

I will give it a try, thanks for the hint.
--- Post updated ---
SKB, I tried, but I do not think it can work. Check the image, I tried deadzones in both directions, but the result is just that, no matter if I press the clutch or pull the handbrake, the game will first apply clutch and then hand brake, (or vice versa): not what we need. I really think that there is no workaround, without an official fix, or some third-party emulator.

 

hmm. so you cant use both together.. i get what you mean.. yeeeaaah... its kinda confusing lol. welll, was worth a shot..

 

I tried UCR, but I believe it does not allow to do something useful for us. I did a few tests, and BeamNG always detect "slider" for clutch and handbrake, as if UCR is bypassed.

For the future fix, please take note that on on Fanatec wheels there are two others "sliders" on the shifter pad, that can be configured from Fanatec software to behave like clutch or like independent axis/slides.

I will let you know if I find any workaround ( either with UCR or some other software).

 

Hi Stenyak, good news! I've been able to separate the clutch and the handbrake. You suggested vJoy. That was half of the solution. We need also UJR Universal Joystick Remapper, that allow to map the handbrake to a new virtual axis.
So
1) download and install vJoy
http://vjoystick.sourceforge.net/site/index.php/download-a-install/download
(Note: turn off the wheel or any joystick before installing, or the installer can get stuck forever)
2) download and run UJR
https://github.com/evilC/AHK-Universal-Joystick-Remapper/releases

Run vJoy, but you do not need to change anything on it.
Run UJR, and try all the possible values on row 1, under "Physical Stick ID" and "Physical Axis", while moving the handbrake, until you find the correct configuration. Check "Invert" if needed.

A trick to search faster: instead of selecting the IDs with the mouse, you can press TAB and SHIFT-TAB to switch between the two fields, and UP and DOWN arrow to scroll throw them.

That's it. Now you can set up clutch and handbrake in Beam NG and the handbrake will be seen as a separate axis

I hopte this helps everyone else with the same problem.

 

I have the same problem. Every other game I play the handbrake works fine but BeamNG treats the clutch and handbrake as if they are the same axis. I wish I had known about this before buying this expensive handbrake seeing as BeamNG was the only game I really have a use for it in.

 

Check my message before yours. I posted a solution that allows you to use clutch and handbrake

 

Do you plan to fix this in a future update ?
It seems that the clutch and the handbrake are on the same axis, half for both.

The Alberto fix is working, but Vjoy bug on my computer and i don't like use tier software.

 

Hi that is all well & good but like others I have waisted AU$200 on a Fanatec handbrake that goes with all of my other Fanatec hardware.
I purchased this handbrake just for BeamNG. It workes like it should in all other sims just not BeamNG. (clutch & handbrake on same axis SLIDER)
One would be right to think that in 2021 & for the length of time this issue has been known that such an important axis binding would of been fix. This would should work as it dose in other sims straight out of the box.
I do not like to use 3rd party software to bodgy something up that should work.
Can you please make this apriority to get it fixed. This is very disappointing considering the money I & others spent.

 

Ye I know how you feel

 

For everyone having issues with the Fanatec ClubSport Pedals, Clutch and Handbrake showing as the same 'Slider' input. I came across this thread and had same issue that I easily resolved.

Completely disconnect the Pedals from the Wheel (get rid of the phone line RJ type connection between the two) and run a SECOND USB CABLE directly from the Pedals USB output on the PCB board and plug Pedals directly into the computer. This separates the Wheel and Pedal into two separate input controllers and then the Clutch and Handbrake show as two separate axis's that can be bound as you would expect. You will need to remap pedal axis assignments on other games as input axis names change.

If you need more clarification let me know.

 

Huh. Maybe it's because I'm using an older wheel, but I only get the handbrake to work at all if it's plugged into the pedals, then it's own USB to PC. Never had an issue with the handbrake.

 

Happy to test!

 

Can anyone confirm if the newly released v0.24 has fixed this issue? I have a fanatec setup and would like to purchase the game if it is now working.

 

Yes, I have a Fanatec handbrake and used to have the problem, it is all fixed now, the handbrake shows up as slider2
