Handbrake not working????

[Fanateclk]

Is any one else having the problem of not being able to use the handbrake in game, i can assign it in the settings it just does not seem to work ingame.

I'm using a Logitech DFGT and trying to map it to the 0 button. Everything else works fine, just no handbrake????

I find that the handbrake only functions on low powered road cars, such as the Lotus 240 and the BMW 1M, the handbrake doesn't work on GT cars such as the BMW's and Lotus 125

Maybe just the vehicle you have chosen doesn't actually have a handbrake (for some reason).

If the car has a handbrake in RL then it will in game.

The handbrake is on an axis ( An awesome feature , Thanks Kunos) in the same option where you change the rotation of the steering wheel.

So does that mean rather than using the th8rs shifter in the sequential mode I'd need to put it into analogue mode?

Yes.

For the benefit of anyone who doesn't know how to do this:

Make sure you have the latest drivers for your shifter installed. Open the Control Panel and then go to Devices and Printers. Find the shifter and right click on it and select Game Controller Settings.

In the Game Controller window select the shifter and press Properties. Now you may have a problem, as I did, where it shows the new Properties windows as being for the racing wheel. If you have this problem unplug your wheel’s USB cable and open the shifter’s properties again.

If you’re sucessful, in the next window you should see a check box that says Analog and a Y axis. Check that box and your shifter should work as an analogue handbrake.
