Generic Brake squeal? Seriously?

I'm so sick of driving games putting things like brake squeal and dirty windows in games..

Can we not just assume the car has brand new, high quality racing brakes? And that before driving around a track at sunrise or sunset, that we were smart enough to wipe the windows as to avoid blinding glare?

Please remove these things. They won't stop me from playing but they are extremely frustrating.

 

Sorry but I find windscreen dirt and brake squeal very immersive.

Besides, in AC brake squeal is only present on the older racecars. And if you select late morning or early afternoon, screen dirt will be virtually invisible.

 

You may like it, but it doesn't make sense.. The car is in tip top shape.. Except for the brakes? The car might be old, but it's in mint condition.. Personally, if I owned any of these cars and the brakes made that kind of noise, I'd consider it unfinished.

If some people like it, cool I guess.. I find it distracting and unrealistic, unless of course I never bothered to service the brakes.

Maybe an option to remove this noise?

 

I'm sure KS will get right on that, removing all those realistic details that they put many hours into creating, just to make the one guy who is sick of "driving games" aiming for more authenticity happy. Maybe you should stick to Need For Speed?

 

But it's not unrealistic; race brakes really do squeal, and widescreens so do accumulate dirt. And that's why I like it, because it's realistic.

Your finding it distracting is not a good reason to ask for removal. Cockpits of racecars are extremely distracting environments. There are squeaking brakes, gearbox whine, misfires, explosions on overruns, stones hitting the underside, bottoms/diffusers scraping on the Tarmac, wind noise/buffeting, DRS/upshift beeps Etc.

My advice: learn to love it.

 

My Honda doesn't even have brake squeal, and it's a 92'
Are you suggesting that if you owned your dream car, let's assume it's the Lamborghini Miura,. You'd not service the brakes and would be content with brakes that squeal as much as in the video I posted?
I'm not sure what need for speed has to do with anything. I like realistic racing sims.. I spend a lot of time at the track. Most guys running high performance vehicles, slowing down hard into corners, lap after lap, would have their brakes looked after if they made noises like that.

 

Brake squeal is normal, even on new cars, as the the discs and pads glaze due to heat.
Squealing is also common on brakes that near the end of their life.

 

My advice: fix your brakes lol

You're lumping in squealing brakes with transmission whine?! One of those things can be fixed.

Anyway, I'm not here to argue my point to people who aren't interested..

I'm just suggesting that I'm probably not the only guy who would sort my brakes out. And I for one would like the option to not hear brakes in need of servicing.

 

See my response above.

 

Sometimes I forget this is the Internet.

 

Has the whole world gone crazy? Or am I the only one who only hears brakes squealing on unmaintained cars?! And not high performance vehicles...

 

See MY response that you replied to... "not even my 92 Honda has brake squeal"..

 

I've heard brake squeal on brand new cars. On assetto corsa so far I've only had brakes squeal on the 73 Porsche carrera.

So what other cars have squeaking brakes in AC?

 

I think I noticed it in the Ford gt, and that Lamborghini in the video posted. To be honest I've only driven about 8 of the cars so far.

 

So it's on the old cars, as one might expect.

Sorry but I find it difficult to be sympathetic with your views, as in my experience squeaking brakes have been implemented very realistically in AC. They're not over the top, you only get them on the older cars at higher temps, and when you really abuse them.

 

I've heard brake squeal on new cars as well, or a car that's been sitting a while.. But once you brake a few times it goes away. If it doesn't, there's another issue.

I kept expecting that to be the case, the squeal to subside after a few laps and some hard braking.. seeing as this game is very realistic, but when it didn't, I decided to post a video and see if it bothers anybody else.

So far I'm getting a strong "nobody cares" vibe. Lol

 

Brake squeal can actually only begin to happen once the brakes get so hot that the pads crystallise. That's what causes the squealing in many cases.

So it's not that nobody cares. It's more a question of: is it realistic or not?

And the answer is that yes, it is realistic.

 

Start a lap with that Lamborghini.. See if they start to squeal when it gets hot or if the squeal immediately.

 

They squeal immediately because the Lamborghini has brakes with a high metal content. This was common back in the 70s.

 

Leave it as is please, adds atmosphere , sim games can sometimes feel sterile, and all the little extra sounds make a big difference room the immersion .

maybe they can add a separate volume adjuster?
