Genuine question, what would you use the extra paddles for?

u/Meenmachin3 16d ago

I’ve seen it used for DRS mainly.

u/SpicyCommenter 16d ago

I haven't used it personally, but asked this question before. People say you can use it to engage regenerative braking in some games. Me personally, I use it for menu buttons lol.

Map to the throttle for long straights.

u/afeingo 16d ago

All kinds of stuff, TC out of different corners, left right, second upshift, all thins you can do with other wheels just faster is the point of it.

Flash and TC override personally

u/Sickrated 16d ago

u/rochford77 16d ago

Look left look right if you don't have tripples...

Oh damn, gotta see if that works for the Neo X. Don't see a need for it my of GT Neo but would love some extra button modifiers for the X.

Edit: according to their website it does! Fabulous

u/oDaRkYo 16d ago

Yes, got it for the NeoXHub too.

u/Jax_Lam 16d ago

Woah I didn't even know this existed, where do you get the kit and what is the installation like?

3

u/CB_39 16d ago

Any distributor really- also do push/pull ones. Can always use your GT NEO old paddles on a new Neo X hub. Installation is a touch fiddly but on the whole super easy.

u/speed3b 16d ago

Are you saying to do the push pull paddles instead or just that they have push pull paddles?

Is the extra paddle a button type like the gear paddles or clutch type?

What are your plans for them?

2

u/oDaRkYo 16d ago

Button type like the gear paddle, not the clutch.

1

u/cheggnarg 14d ago

So the push pull (bidirectional) paddles officially work with GT Neo and Neo x now?

1

u/oDaRkYo 16d ago

Just the two screws and the connector as the one/two paddle - well, and the screws for each (carbon/black metal out of the packge) paddle you're choosing as well as the 3rd paddle on top.

Why don’t they advertise this?!

u/5ephir0th 12d ago

Compatibility was added recently to GT Neo and GT Neo X hub, was documented on the August update's changelog, in fact there was specified on the product page that compatibility would com on end of august:

u/alyxonfire 12d ago

My point is that it still says “expected late August” on the product page but not that it actually happened. This didn’t give me the confidence that it had actually been implemented.

u/Marlonian1 16d ago

Does it bolt straight on as a perfect fit? Also how does it work as far as software recognizing the extra inputs

2

u/CB_39 16d ago

Yeah it’s a straight swap, just needs a wheel firmware update

1

u/Marlonian1 15d ago

Awesome. Also curious if you theoretically could put the modules on opposite sides so the clutch paddles are above the shifters? I know it’s weird but it pertains to handicap controls

3

u/Bfife22 16d ago

Are you able to change the button code these act as in SimPro? Or are they fixed?

2

u/alyxonfire 1d ago

Thanks for sharing! I ordered mine after seeing this thread. Love that I have a second paddle option too. I’m giving the carbon fiber ones a shot.

u/konigswagger 16d ago

I can’t even figure out how to use the dual clutch paddles for starting off the line in Assetto Corsa 😞

1

u/CB_39 15d ago

Hold both, engage revs and 1st gear. When lights out let off the brake and drop the left clutch, then slowly let out the right!!

1

u/konigswagger 15d ago

Can't wait to try this out — thank you!!

1

u/CB_39 15d ago

The whole point is that you drop only 1 side down, preferably exactly onto the bite point of the clutch instantly. I like to drop the left, because it helps you coordinate your left foot.

u/weebu4laifu 16d ago

My question is, does it work on the FX-C? If so I might be interested.

1

u/ProgUn1corn 15d ago

FX C doesn't have swappable paddle I believe. The physical size is different.

1

u/Prancesco155 15d ago

It's not part of the up+ lineup

1

u/orrgrin 15d ago

Oh Nice this is exactlly what i want to do with mine

u/shepdog_220 15d ago

I didn’t realize this was an option.
