If you are serious about sim racing, you will know that a good set of pedals make all the difference. These sim pedals Ultimate+ from Heusinkveld Engineering have the very best in simulator pedal technology that will provide you with the very best pedal feel available. The Ultimate+ pedals represent a significant update over the Ultimate pedals with custom bespoke hydraulic dampers, smart control compatibility, added slide bearings to major load bearing pivot points, improved sensor mounts and custom Heusinkveld specific brake springs for a smooth and responsive operation.Constructed from strong and durable materials using advanced design and manufacturing techniques such as CAD, FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and CNC precision laser cutting, the pedals are beautifully engineered to create the most authentic look and feel.Each pedal features a load cell to provide a true linear output in relation to the pedal input. This provides unrivaled accuracy and durability, as unlike regular rotary potentiometers, they do not wear out over time. On the throttle and clutch pedals, the load cells work as positional sensors whereas the load cell on the brake pedal measures the pressure put on the pedal.The pedals in this set feature bespoke custom made adjustable hydraulic damping that simulate the hydraulic damping effect as seen on real brake, clutch and throttle assemblies. The Ultimate+ is able to accurately simulate the feel of real race car pedals without the need for hoses and master cylinders. For both the brake and clutch pedal, the damper adds resistance depending on the speed that the pedal is pressed or released, whereas the damper on the throttle pedal resists speed at the ingoing stroke. The advantage of this lies in smoothing the throttle application as is used on some real race cars.Both the throttle and clutch pedals feature adjustable pedal travel from 10deg to 20deg on the throttle and 14deg to 24deg on the clutch to allow the user to customise the pedal to their specific requirements. Also featured is "soft" pedal end stops to provide a quality feel without being too noisy when in use.Throttle: The throttle pedal features a 1-way hydraulic damper that resists speed at the ingoing stoke that helps with smoothing the throttle application which is used on many real cars for this same purpose. The pedal is highly adjustable for travel, pre-load and spring stiffness.Brake: The brake pedal features a dual stage braking system which includes a coil spring to simulate the gap between the pad and the disc before progressive rubber springs take over to provide the firmness that you would expect from a race car pedal. The brake pedal is installed with injected moulded thermoset elastomer with a Heusinkveld specific development spring that has been tested to have zero performance degradation even after one million duty cycles. The firmness of the pedal can be adjusted by selecting from a total of 9 different possible resistance settings, ranging from extremely hard to very soft. A knurled knob has been added to the brake spring stack for easy adjustment of the pedal preload. The pedal is capable of providing a maximum pedal force of 140kg (200kg loadcell) which requires around 36x more effort compared with consumer grade pedals. This amount of braking force allows the driver to improve their braking ability through the use of muscle memory which improves accuracy and consistency.Clutch: Just as real clutch pedals become lighter after they pass the clutch bite point, so to does the clutch pedal in the Sim Pedals Ultimate+. A regressive spring mechanism allows you to adjust the effort, travel and feel to suit your requirements. Like the brake pedal, the clutch pedal is capable of delivering a force far in excess of regular consumer pedals with a maximum pedal effort of 45kg. This can also be adjusted to provide a lighter feel if required.Overall, it is the attention to detail which really impresses with these pedals. During the design process, mathematical models were used to calculate the pedal travel and operating force. This allowed for a great amount of accuracy when predicting how each pedal would feel in all of the available configurations.Alongside the pedals themselves, also included is a USB smart controller / load cell amplifier for connection to a PC, to which each of the pedals are connected. With this smart controller you can configure output curves (non-liner) set pedal dead zones and brake pedal force. All settings can be saved into profiles and can be reloaded with a few mouse clicks. Please note that the USB controller is not included with the single clutch only pedal as it's not needed, as you'll already have this included with your 2 or 3 pedal kit). The controller is made from steel and has 4 mounting holes so it can be mounted to your simulator or alternatively it can be mounted to the underside of the optional pedal base plate.Heusinkveld Smart ControlThe smart controller software mapping of (non-linear) pedal output curves, pedal deadzones and brake pedal force. Adjustments can be made without having to recalibrate the pedals. All settings can be saved into profiles.Heusinkveld SmartControl LiveAn innovative software tool to adjust your controller settings to your own preferences while driving, your settings, your profiles, instantly.Activate SmartControl profiles for different cars and classes at the touch of a button, without having to leave the simulator softwareInstantly switch to an optimal profile for any situation on trackAdjust the required brake force while driving, to quickly find an optimal brake pedal setup for any carWith the combination of both software tools, you have complete freedom to create any kind of profile and load it while driving.These pedals are available as a 3 pedal set, or 2 pedal set for those not requiring a clutch pedal. A single clutch pedal is also available for converting a 2-pedal set into a 3-pedal set at a later date.All of this means that you can focus on improving your lap times and winning races, having the confidence that you will never be let down by your pedals again.As part of a routine maintenance schedule Heusinkveld recommend lubricating pedal pivot points and brake pedal rubbers with WD-40 dry PTFE lubricant.
