MSB Pro Progressive version XBOX ONE / S / X USB Plug and play handbrake
Using SimRlink works with all wheels logitech , thrustmaster and more How it works
MSB Pro+ handbrake operates as an extra controller . you have the option of Progressive using Right trigger input or B button X button or A button with this handbrake these options are controlled via the MSB module Switch down is progressive mode giving a analog/progressive output giving more control than using a button.
Switch up is button mode and if you press the push button while in this mode it will cycle through modes 4 modes the handbrake saves the last mode you were in
mode 1 B button (most other games)
mode 2 X button (need for speed games , crew games)
mode 3 A button (Car X , Forza Horizon , Motorsport )
mode 4 Forza mode (A button going on and off very fast used with Forza see below)
The Handbrake uses our SimRlink wireless technology to connect to the handbrake

The Solution
https://youtu.be/bpPaBnJ_wms?si=DfbYwu9b9jjf42QT
New Product to help the Forza Horizon Throttle issueYou can now use this product to use your pedals as normal (while handbrake is active)
we have now corrected the lack of throttle pedal when handbrake is on , we use a Product called Open pedals (coming soon) this reads the throttle and brake values and sends them to the SimRlink receiver this will then replicate the throttle , this only works when the handbrake is on when it is off , your normal throttle will be restored , with this product you will also be able to display your throttle and brake values with displays / leds in future
DIRT 5 (We need to make a video for this setup go to inputs go down to handbrake and select it , when asked pull the handbrake this will assign Right trigger input)
Forza mode added (not progressive only works in button mode using A button)See below issue with Forza we have added an extra mode to our MSB handbrake module when the 2nd switch is down this is progressive operation and does not work with Forza Horizon when the handbrake is in button modeSwitch up (A button used ) it will handbrake is active (red led on) this is normal operationin this mode if you press the push button it will switch the handbrake to Forza mode Forza modeThis will cut the handbrake in and out very fast (when handbrake is active) this allows the below issue with Forza to not be as affected by it so you can regain control of the car even if the handbrake is held on , where as before you would have no controls until the handbrake was let go. We will try to get videos up of the issue and our Forza mode so the differences can be seen.The Forza Horizon issueForza Horizon 4 (works but we have noticed when using the handbrake all the wheel controls lock out until the handbrake is released and a pedal is pressed for example you loose steering (just stays centred in game) while handbrake is pulled , you loose throttle and also gear change soon as you let go of the handbrake the wheel controls come back in.(after you press a pedal for example throttle)we recommend when using the handbrake with this game to pull handbrake get sideways then let go and do it again if you need more handbrake to not leave it pulled back for very long as you will loose all steering and throttle

Please check the games you wish to play allow this option in set up if not on our working / not working list, to test the games you wish to play , plug in a external controller , set the handbrake button to B or X or A and see if you get the handbrake if you press B , X , A on external controller, if you do our handbrake will work if not you either need to map it correctly to the external on controller on B or X or A button or it will not work on external controller.
Programmable braking point
SimRlink MSB handbrakes have a push button that you press to set your braking point, from the braking point the MSB handbrake calculates the output from 100% (the chosen braking point) to 0 which is the rest position of the handbrake.
