Abstract
The present invention relates to a vehicle drive control system (1), such as a car, a boat, an aircraft and like, or of a driving simulator, such as a videogame console, simulation apparatuses and like, and with a direction control device (2), such as a steering wheel, a rudder or like, and with directioning means (21', 22', 21". 22"), said system (1) being characterised in that it comprises means (6) for detecting position of said direction control device (2), an adjustment module (7, 7', 7'') having a frame, mechanically coupled with said direction control device (2), provided with passive actuator and adjustment means (8', 8", 8a, 8a', 8b, 8b') by which it is suitable to adjust resistance to the movement of said direction control device (2), one or more sensors (27) for detection of position of said directioning means (21', 22', 21". 22"), and at least a central control unit (23), suitable to calibrate resistance against movement of said direction control device (2) by said passive actuator or adjustment means (8' 8", 8a, 8a', 8b, 8b'), on the basis of the position of said direction control device (2) detected by said detection means (6), and to control direction of said vehicle or simulator by said directioning means and said sensors (27).
