It wouldn't vibrate as much but it would only cost $9 compared to the bazillions that Frex will probably charge. I agree with others. I don't get vibration in real life when locking up unless ABS is enabled. Realistic or not I see how this could be helpful.

I've also heard race drivers say the exact same thing, that only ABS and warped disc(s) vibrate the brake pedal. On RSC it was said that it helps you feel when the tires lock and slip. Quote from Shige:<blockquote>Brake vibration device works with lock up tires in a game. New SimCon device named SimConVBRAKE is a device connected to SimConBASE by link cable. The development is almost done and now we are testing with GTR2. 4 values can be adjustable in the control panel. Rotor Touch: Max value of vibrations when touch the brake pads to brake rotor. Front Lock: Max value of vibrations when lock front tire. Rear Lock: Max value of vibrations when lock rear tire. Slip: Max value of vibrations when slip any tire. The vibration frequency are synchronized with the car speed!! It is very realistic feeling and finally this device makes a brake for game proudly call as a racing simulator's brake system. How to drive fast without such information that you might think after use it once. SimConVBRAKE Vibration motor, wires, SimCon link cable Price: To be announced later. Date of release: TBA SimConBASE and AC/DC12V adapter will be required.</blockquote> That’s also what I was wondering when I saw this couple of days a go.

4 values can be adjustable in the control panel.
Rotor Touch:
Max value of vibrations when touch the brake pads to brake rotor.

Front Lock:
Max value of vibrations when lock front tire.

Rear Lock:
Max value of vibrations when lock rear tire.

Slip:
Max value of vibrations when slip any tire.

The vibration frequency are synchronized with the car speed!!

It is very realistic feeling and finally this device makes a brake for game
proudly call as a racing simulator’s brake system.
How to drive fast without such information that you might think after use
it once.

ABS or warped discs? Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing this, only I didn't notice my real brake pedal vibrating in normal conditions (and while racing too). :neutral: So… what does it simulate?
