SIM-PANEL HT/HTE Button Box for American Truck Simulator (ATS/ETS2 Button Box) (NO BACKLIGHTING)

Well built, trailer air and parking brake feel crisp. The mounting system sucks, it works sorta but it sucks. Easily remedied by direct attachment. Lighting is good and labels are easy to read. It would be nice to be able to change the labeling.

Got this to use with American Truck Simulator and it was a great choice. I recently upgraded from playing with a controller to a full wheel/shifter/pedal setup and wanted something I could replace the various odds and ends of a controller with. This handy box allows for useful things like headlights, wipers, beacons etc all in arms reach without needing to reach for a controller. Adds great immersion and the ignition is a great touch too. Instructions are simple and great, though actual pairing with the game itself took me a few days to figure out. I have it attached to my stand in a improv way using spare drumming felts and washers. Great unit and recommend it for anyone looking for replacing a controller with their wheel setup.

Works very nice. The instructions inside lead your to a site that makes it dead simple to set up in ATS

This panel feels fantastic! It is clearly well built, and uses premium materials for everything. To put it bluntly, it actually feels like a real panel instead of feeling like a play toy. If I had to give some sort of feedback on the physical parts of the panel, I'd say that I wish the buttons had more of a clicky feeling when pressing them in. I wouldn't say that they're necessarily super "squishy" (just a little) or anything like that, but it would be nice and satisfying if they had more of a distinct click sound when pressing them in and solid feeling. This is where I'm subtracting a star for. Nonetheless, this panel adds some really great immersion to the ATS/ETS experience, especially when paired with a force feedback wheel, pedals, and gear shift and allows you to heavily cut down on needing to use a keyboard/mouse for functions. Even if all you use is a game controller or keyboard steering, I think this would still benefit you very well! Love that the lighting is configurable too, and that the text/labels of each button is actually legible and crisp even with the lights turned on. Easy to setup in-game as well, you quite literally just go into the controls of ATS/ETS and just make sure the panel is selected as an input method, then click each function in-game and press the button on the panel to "link" it to the function in-game. One negative is that I can't seem to get ATS or ETS to pickup the panel in Linux. I can see that my PC picks it up when listing connected USB devices, but the game doesn't seem to pick it up. I won't count this in my overall rating though since they don't advertise Linux support here on Amazon (though I did see another store online where they did) - thankfully since I dual boot, I can still utilize the panel in Windows just fine. In the future, maybe someone can write a driver or a patch that makes it work. The other downside is that the clamps that are included are a little confusing to setup for the first time, as the instructions are a little vague and could use more clarification. What you do is the "short" side of the clamp rods go into the panel, and then you leave a bit of it out so that the long side can hang over your desk/table. The little screw on things (sorry, I don't know the actual term for them - I'm a software guy, not a hardware guy!) then screw on to the long side of the rods and screw "upwards" so that they create a lock between the panel and the underside of your desk/table. Keep in mind however that they warn you not to screw it in too tightly. After you've set it up for the first time, you won't have a problem setting it up again. They're really sturdy too, and I love that pulling and pushing the parking brake doesn't cause the entire panel to move around. So while the initial learning curve/setup of the clamps is a negative point, its not a strong enough point to be used in the overall rating factor since its only a problem once. As a note to the company, I really wish your upgraded version of this panel had clamps. I was originally going to get the larger/more expensive one until I saw there were no clamps, which was a flat out dealbreaker and so I got this one instead. I do not know why the clamps aren't included in the more premium version. The larger version apparently has VESA mount support, but most VESA mounts are designed for monitors and I couldn't find one that would really apply to a panel like this. If you ever make a revised model, *please* be sure to include clamp support, as I'd love to pickup one that has more buttons but without a clamp I'd be forced to lay it on my desk which is not great.

Very nice unit. Backlighting is a nice feature also. Do recommend this item it’s a lot of fun.

Works great with my sons trucking game - pretty realistic

Great for ATS or other truck sim games, great value for the money, but I will tell you that spend the extra money and get the classic version, way more programmable buttons, build quality is outstanding and functional well, size is great for all types of setups and not heavy at all . The design is perfect.

Na

Ich suchte zur Zeit ATS und mit der Sim -Boxacht es noch mehr Laune

Ist geil
