Vectrex Steering Wheel

[50tbrd]

Just finished my conversion of a Thrustmaster Formula T2 Steering Wheel for use with the Vectrex. Gas (B4) and brake (B3) work with the A and B buttons or the pedals which have had switches installed. The shifter operates B1 and B2 and has a switch to flip them depending on what game you're using. Hyperchase and Pole Position have upshift and downshift swapped. The pedals are connected with a detachable cord. Between testing and taping, it came loose. The steering wheel itself contains a bungie cord that self centers and creates force when turning. This is how they designed it stock and it really needs to be clamped down with the stock clamps. In the video, I use it with both Hyperchase and  Pole Position but I've also tested it on an up and coming homebrew game and love it. I have to say that I'm not very good at Hyperchase or Pole Position and also not a great videographer but you get the point.

Minute steering adjustments are very easy, better than with a joystick. Large steering adjustments very quickly is more difficult though. Hyperchase I can do pretty well with but I don't have much time on Pole Position because I only recently got it. Its similar control as the Overdrive Controller I made.
