Braking in Ac

to be honest I don't what to answer...it might be helpful getting a brake-pressure adjustment via the setup. But this is AC and not rf, NKPro, iRacing, or whatever. I suggest that you guys learn to deal with the pros and cons of AC and trying to get the most of the fun out of AC. If you can get to the point realizing AC as a self-contained sim and stop comparing AC with other sims you have driven before I bet you can deal much easier with the cons and enjoy AC much more !

 

Well i think its fair to say that a break pressure setting in ac would be something maybe people need with varying types of pedals setup varying ways?

I might be in the same boat with the csr pedals in a few days if theres anything funky in that area going on.

 

You realize what you have written there ?
Even its AC, this setting (brake pressure) is a Must adjustment via the setup.

For my part i can brake with 50% and it will lock, thats silly.
Ok i am using xbox gamepad, but in every other sim (GTR2, rF) i could brake with 95% without locking. So that need to be fixed.

 

We have the brake-gamma and the range for all axis to play with...isn't that enough to play with to find the right settings?
And if you need a per car-settings, save the settings you are happy with and name it that you can load it easily for every car you drive
e.g. xbox 458s3

 

Agree - It might be a "gaming thing", but it makes it possible to adjust the car to suit the local hardware

 

I have to disappoint you, but gamepad users dont have brake gamma or range settings at all.
Some Cars are unplayable without ABS, because they lock up even if you brake only with 50%..
In GTR2 for example i could play easily without ABS and was damn fast in MP Nordschleife Events
Looked in the game and in the cfg and saw that wheel user can adjust their brake gamma, i am fine with this

 

Hmm ok, then your wish is understandable!

 

Bumpity bump!

Running G25, most of the street cars (ABS off) are horrible under braking. My brake gamma is almost maxed out (4.00) and I'm getting lockups after 2cm of pedal travel. Can't build any real confidence on brakes when the travel I play with is literally 2cm between nothing and skidding into the gravel trap.
I'm not even using my foot for braking any more, but rather my damn toe and that sucks. And yes warming up the tires helps a bit, still a far cry from how cars and their brakes work. Yes, I own a real car and have driven some of the in-game cars in real life.

Now, if introducing this fairly common adjustment, regardless of the culprit (lack of load cell brakes, game physics or all together, hell even me sucking as a sim driver), is not too much of a big deal, then please consider it. All the peeps who like it the way it is, can continue to like it and not use it and all us miserable sods who don't, will say a big Thank You! to the dev team, use the setting and enjoy our experience. Happy simmers all around, innit?

Not wanting to patronize anyone but I was having severe lockup issue till I checked my tyre temps and found the stone cold.

In AC tyre warming seems very important, the difference between warm and cold tyre performance is night and day. If you're having trouble hotlapping the maybe raise the air temp a bit, default is 19c brrrr.

The GTEYE mode for the G25/27 is excellent and well worth the cost.

 

I use csp pedals v2,brakegamma 2,40
Loadcell depends on car,for gt cars it's on 5-6
It works quite good like this.....and yes,with good temperatured tyres braking is more efficient....
My 2 cents

 

Just for info the suggested setting for a load cell is brake gamma on 1

 

Setting 1:1 is instant lockups here, even with the GTEYE spring. I actually have the brake gamma all the way to the right, although I'm going to try it back at half way with the new spring.

Even with gamma all the way to the right it's still quite sensitive.

 

G27 user with GTeye.

The gteye is the best way to get more travel out of your pedal IMO. I race with brake gamma at 1.12.

I don't feel the need for a brake pressure setting with this setup. Ive found I have to focus on how quickly I get to max braking as some cars are quite particular about this (huayra, f40).

My 2 cents. Can't wait for my csp v2's!

 

Don't see why we should have to upgrade our pedals just so that we can brake effectively in AC. We need a brake gain adjustment, preferably as part of the in game setup options for each car (along with a gain setting for ffb)! For now the only way I can avoid locking brakes with my DFGT is to set a 30% deadzone in the controller settings which is ridiculous.

 

*cough*ABS*cough*

 

@Gusztav
I agree.
You can reduce the sensitivity of the brake pedal in the logitech profiler. I have set it at 30% for example, it's far from ideal but a slight improvement nonetheless.

 

good to see pedal user have the same lockup problem like joypad user ^^

 

Im always locking my brakes.. The brakes are so sensitive on some of the cars that I have to be so careful to press the brake pedal down just barely. It would help if the spring in the G27 brakes wasn't so squishy.

 

On a related note, the accelerator also seems quite touchy to me; but that has more to do with the G27 pedals.

 

Sorry I should have stated that prior to the GTeye I used stock g27 pedals with 2.22 brake gamma. With 5 percent dead zone. Worked fine for me, I just wanted a stiffer pedal.

edit: Some setting more related to break pressure or force would be nice, as the gamma never really seemed helpful.
