Automobilista 2 Handbrake | SIMPLE - 2025 |

: Not all cars in AMS2 have a functional handbrake. Use a Rallycross (RX) car or a Caterham to confirm it's working. Hardware Tips

Ensure the game registers the input. It will display the device name or axis number. 3. Calibrating an Analog Handbrake

The handbrake in Automobilista 2, once properly configured under , adds another layer of immersion to the simulation. It turns tight, challenging corners into opportunities for speed and, in the case of rallycross, a necessary tool for survival.

AMS2’s control configuration allows for input gamma adjustments. This allows users to manipulate the sensitivity curve of the handbrake. A non-linear curve is often preferred by the community to deaden the initial travel (accounting for the physical slack in a hydraulic system) and increase sensitivity at the end of the pull, mimicking the pressure curve of a real hydraulic handbrake.

Set this between 2% and 5% . This prevents slight physical wobbles or sensor noise from accidentally dragging the brakes on straightaways.

If your physical handbrake has a bit of loose wobble when resting, increase the deadzone slightly (2% to 5%). This prevents the rear brakes from dragging unintentionally on straightaways.

If you use a USB analog handbrake, you must calibrate it to avoid deadzone issues: Navigate to > Controls > Calibrate Axes .
