Flexi-Brake Controller

Introducing the incredible new Flexi-Brake controller. Creating a new level of realism for Train Simulation!

Created using heavy duty metal construction, the Flexi-brake has been designed and produced as the ultmate brake controller, providing flexibility to work with a huge range of units and locos in Train Simulator Classic and Train Sim World.

Designed to be compatible with the largest range of locos and units with a seperate brake handle. The unit itself is simulated on both a 3 step ‘sprinter’ style Westcode control, and a locomotive ‘Westinghouse’ style handle, but will work with most brake systems. Each style has different notches simulating the real thing, with the Westinghouse mode have the sprung release section just like the real thing – See the video to see it in action!

The brake mode is easily changed by pulling the knob up or down, with the software recognising this change so no configuration is needed.

As with all TS Controllers products, they are plug and play with no complicated setup required. The controller include TS Controllers unique software for ease of use, automatically switching modes so you don’t have to change any settings. The TS controller software is the culmination of over 3 years of development, with new versions released regularly providing new features and updates. The hard work has been done for you so you don’t have to!

The controller is designed to provide the most realistic feel possible. The modes and notches have been tuned to recreate the actual feel of a 3 step and Westinghouse style brake handles. The handle provides a firm soild feel, with the unit coming in at 1.8kg to provide a solid grounded base that sticks to your desk!

The controller works great with most sperate brake locos and units in Train Simulator Classic. Where the notches to not quite match up, for example if using a UK Class 90 or HST, or Class 56, the software maps the controls to the most relevant notches. Train Sim World 3/4 support is provided for a range of locos and units, see compatiblity in the specs below. The controller communicates directly with both simulators so there isnt any probelms of controls getting out of sync or similar.

Each unit is hand made in the UK, with care, where you can be assured of quality with personalised support to help your experience.
