Pedals for simRacing have evolved rapidly since their beginnings. From plastic and metal base structures with cheap potentiometers and standard springs to the elaborate creations we have now, made of alloys, with load cells, pistons, hydraulic dampers, with cutting-edge technology and looking for the greatest possible realism in many different ways.
To adjust all this potential for our feet, each company seeks to maximize the configuration and performance of their pedals, so they develop programs to modify and seek advantages in their behaviour. You have all these models (with their respective prices and specifications) and many others in our simRacing pedals hardware section.
Heusinkveld
One of the pioneers in making pedals as software, when many had not yet landed. Their SmartControl is perhaps one of the software with more possibilities. It is currently in version 1.3.4 and can be downloaded by clicking here.
SRP
Their MySetup application reaches version 1.2 with some fixes and improvements comprising the following list. It can be downloaded by clicking here.

- Button to save custom profiles.
- Button to load custom profiles.
- New list of keys to map with joytokey assistance.
- Renamed the “save settings” button to “apply settings”.
- Software modifications to improve performance.
DCSimracing
The DCSimracing utility is currently at version 1.0.2 and has many of the advanced features of established brands. It can be downloaded from the following link.
BJSimracing
The most classic pedals in this aspect of calibration as they stick to the use of the software of the components they use, in this case from Leo Bodnar and the relevant configuration for load cells and the well-known DIView. They can be downloaded from here and here.
