  1. Thanks for your sharing your experience with the hardware you are using - also first negative experience and how the seller did support in order to solve the problem.

    Here the original text from the pics (too bad it does not work)

    My conclusion after 2 months with the AliExpress pedals

    2 months I have you now already and am very excited about the quality and the software.
    There were days when I regretted the purchase, the gas pedal had a very high dead zone.
    I fixed that with a longer spring to the cell balance.
    But even this has only helped to a certain extent.
    The scale had a kind of life of its own and had to be constantly recalibrated.
    Until I finally turned on my head and wrote to my dealer in China.


    He is very nice and patient.
    He sent me 2 videos on how to optimally install the pedals and the best, a really good calibration software!

    With this software, the pedals with the original spring is not only set to 100%, no you can adjust the linear curves of the pedals!

    This means that if you drive a car without ABS, like the Porsche Cup Car, you can set the linear curve of the pedals as shown in the picture.
    At the beginning the brake engages strongly, towards the middle until the last third there will be a delay in the strength of the brake, only from the last third the brake engages fully again.
    This is very helpful when vehicles already start to block from 70% braking force without ABS, such as the Porsche Cup Car!

    And this is a fantastic tool and shows once again, the price-performance ratio of the pedals.

    When the screws are tightened, they sit firmly.

    And after 2 months of use I notice no signs of fatigue on the material.

    And if something should break, so you are your dealer from China with advice and tat to the side.
    For this I want to thank again my dealer Thanksbuyer.
    With 6 hours time difference between Germany and China, he explained with a lot of patience how Freejoy QT works.
    This simply has to be mentioned.
    And if something should break, then after video evidence for replacement is also provided.

    So I am thrilled with this package which is offered here by the price.

    And again very important: Uses for these pedals exclusively the calibration tool Freejoy QT.

    Should you have questions, write to me.

    If you put an image in English, those of us who, like me, who do not master the language, will not be able to put it in the translator, there is no negativity there, if there is a truth like a big temple, it is that we cannot know what you are saying, none animadversion with you for my part;)

    Use the LENS app mate.
    This app also translates pictures.
    Where there's a will, there's always a way!;)

    No.
    In fact, when i saw that the post was made with images, instead of text i went to other thread.
    Depending on the place where you are, the bandwith can be very limited.
    But thanks for the info.

    you are certainly right, where there is no will to put a text...
    you prefer a photo and tell me use an application,...
    yes, above you tell me to use the translator, it's sad...
    but you are absolutely right where there is no will... "write it to me in English" because that's what the translator uses... my mother.
    I will not bother you again

    I certainly appreciate the text that is the most logical...

    but don't tell me to use an application to decipher an image, when you told me above to use the translator, just because I made a mistake when putting my message in Spanish due to a usual mistake.... no problem here, what I said I will try not to bother you more

    Hey I've got the same aliexpress pedals and they work great in iRacing. I'm trying to use FreeJoy to get it running in other games like rf2 and ams2 but it doesn't recognize the pedals. When you have finished calibrating, do you save config to file or write config to device? Do you need keep FreeJoy running in the background?

    Config to device.
    It's not really necessary to open up the software.
    I'm also still absolutley happy:)
    Bought me as addition the Sim3D Rumble Kit.
    Also a fantastic addition.

    Visually is the best copy I ever saw from the Heusinkveld pedals, it proves that China really excels at copying things.

    But depends on where you're in the world is best to buy from local brands that follows the same concepts of Heusinkveld, the industry standard for pro pedals. Better have reliable warranty and support than risk to save a few dollars.

    Does anyone know if this software will work with Thrustmaster T-LCM pedals? Or Thrustmaster wheel bases?

    I agree...

    Last month I bought my first LC pedal set from a local shop. Coming from a none LC set (Thrustmaster T3PM) which were not bad but now that I have tried a true LC kit I am very glad I updated to them, they make a world of difference! Personally I think If you can only upgrade one part of you´re starter set up, It should be to a set of LC pedals.

    The set I bough are the DCSimracing DC 1...
    https://dcsimracing.com/gb/pedals/5-prueba.html

    There very well made and there made not to far from were I live. They come very well packed and with a extra set of elastomers. Makes driving now more real and better, as I said a world of difference overall. My learning experience now Is more profitable I would say.

    The main differences between the DC 1 and DC 2 are that the DC 2 can be adjusted (tilt) to some point, and that the software can save set-ups, the DC 2 also uses a 100kg LC and not a 60kg. like the DC 1. Other then that there the same.

    Not my vid...


    There´s other vids but there In Spanish, or you can watch Dave Cam´s vid on the DC 2:


    Sure you can buy from China, I buy camping gear from Alliexpress but that´s because silnylon is very cheap In China and makes for great light weight tarps and tents. But as stated, If you have any Issues you do run the risk of getting good support or not, or any! Just my thought´s though.

    What explains the difference between the thrustmaster and the DCSimRacing is the movable parts including the elastomers.

    The LC is only responsible to register your inputs, the difference between the two is just how much kg it can register and durability.

    What do you feel in your feet/legs is the movement and resistance of the mechanical parts, probably Helsinkveld found the best way to representing a real car feeling without needing expensive hydraulic system like in real life.

    This is why you see other brands doing very similar systems to Heusinkveld.
