Little improvement suggestion for the pedal app

Add simple dots that show when you are getting 0% or 100% when pressing the pedals or not. When you are getting 100% show a little dot above the pedal bar. When you are at 0% (not touching the pedal) you get a dot below the pedal bar.

This can help in two ways.
- First of all it makes it easier to see you are getting 100% or 0% instead of 98% or 2%. That kind of small difference is really hard to see from the bars directly.
- Secondly if you are not getting 0% or 100% you may not notice it which can seriously hurt you. Imagine driving a car that drags its brakes just 2% and when you think you are on full throttle you are only getting 98%. It is almost impossible to notice that unless you know exactly what you are looking for.

Pedals do wear and potentiometers especially become finicky when they get old. I've had my pedals do this to me in gran turismo and it is literally impossible to notice it until it becomes excessive. You may need to drop to 95% before you notice the lack of power in your car or see that the bar is not reaching 100%. Lap times are a good indicator as even a 2% throttle loss can hurt you a full second per lap. But if you see that when fully pressing the throttle you are not getting 100% you know instantly that you have a problem.

Here is an image that explains it:

(notice the lack of dots below and above the pedal bars when you are not getting 0% or 100% despite the bar looking like it is full or null)

 

Do you know python at all?

 

No. I could not code myself out from a room made of hello worlds in basic.

 

Good call and very easy to implement. I hope the guys at Kunos make this happen, when they have time.

 

The clutch already does this at 100% (outline turns white I believe), hopefully they can implement it for the other bars too.
