We need to put a basic sim together, mainly to get some our drivers used to the transition from simpler cars to clutch on wheel F1s. However there seems to be a few sticking points in what was otherwise a simple plan. Namely some sort of F1 seating position type seat (like this http://www.playseat.com/shop/eu/uk/playseat-grand-... with decent two pedal setup and wheel with a decent PC and HD projector for screen) - first is it doesn't seem that anyone offers a sim type steering wheel with both gear and clutch paddles, secondly whilst there are a shed load of sim type software out there no one seems to have a decently accurate represenation of a modern F1 on there with regards clutch actuation etc.

So any suggestions for software or steering wheel?

Thanks for the replies. Next question then does anyone know of a box that we could use to go from analogue inputs (0-5V) to USB as a "controller"?

If there is something we could use that and make the appropriate looms to use the car wheel on the sim... Or if there is a wheel with spare IO on it which we could mount our own paddles onto.

Main aim is to improve driver familiarity with clutch paddles i.e. pulling them during a spin etc. For the guys moving from three pedal to two pedal cars it takes a bit of getting used to.
