Generic Brake squeal? Seriously?

well sadly you've just discovered a bug in my character. My bitterness does absolutely nothing and i should remove it.
Sorry about that... turned out i was the one mistaken :-/
Edit...
oop's that didn't sound at all sincere... idle hands are the devils playground!
if only i had something else to do with my freetime!

More edit...
and to be fair the good lord got his hand forced...And listen, we all make mistakes but i'd be more inclined to give credit after the mistakes are rectified.

 

To remove this "things" go to AUDIO SETTINGS AND TURN UP ENGINE SOUND BRAKES AND EFECTS DOWN... LATER TURN UP YOUR TV , SOUND SYSTEM OR HEADPHONES and you go listen only the engine (if this is realistic for you) about the screen dirt...the solution is only one ...stop crying and go play Pcars,Gran Turismo or other game, and leave the sim lovers enjoy AC...with all sounds,dirt, and bull****s...

 

well turns out I wasn't wrong after all. The setting is already gone in v1.09 which is currently out for PS4 and sadly not out yet for XB1 and the guys already removed that "brakes" thing back in October. Infact the guy who posted the screen is on XB1.. so the world makes sense again

I think we used to have brake audio slider back in the Tech Preview or in Early Access and that was removed long time ago on the PC... very surprising to see it was in the console GUI... genuine WTF moment for me.

 

You need to hear the Vulcan's brakes on Grand Tour's 2nd episode or here :

 

You should bring a working brake slider back
Really though, please don't let the direction this thread has taken, or perhaps my overly blunt approach suggest anything other than the fact that I truly love this game and what you guys have done! The physics are top notch, please keep up the hard work

 

Wow.. I stand corrected. That's piercing..

I'd still like the option to turn it down though.

 

It would be incredible to see Aston Martin coming to AC. How I'd love to drive them in a SIM like this! Some Dodges would also be welcome.

 

Did I just read a 'Suck it up buttercup' moment. Love you Lord Kunos. LOL

 

it wasn't my intention at all. As KS and AC get bigger my "parts" in the game get smaller and smaller so there are many situation where users might know more about the game than me... my character is to be totally open, I enjoy my weekends writing here sometimes but I don't pretend to be infallible.. some people might appreciate this some might find it funny and take pleasure of seeing somebody else writing something wrong and there is nothing wrong with it.

 

Funny, just this past Sunday my truck was making that sound. It turned out to be a ruined throwout bearing. Hurt my ears to drive it.

 

Apologies Lord Kunos. I was being facetious. Suck it up...

 

Good to read this, the only approach to improvement that really works, be open to the feedback, see if there is anything in it and what can be done if there is an issue.

Why some forum users get overly defensive of the game on your behalf is difficult to understand.

 

You should really visit a real race track some time. It doesn't really matter if you go on a test & tune day, where amateurs are out running their own cars, or if you go to a major sporting event like an IMSA, PWC, WEC, or FIA GT race, just get out there and see some folks racing some time. You'd be amazed at the noises the cars make when driven on a track.

Specifically with regard to brakes, the demands of racing are different than the demands of street driving. I have an E92 M3, which is a sporty car, but it is far, far from a true sports car. If I put Pagid yellow pads (track-duty brake pads) on my car, the squealing is so loud people will try to tell me something is wrong with my car. The thing is, when you're racing, you don't care about noises, you care about performance, and race-duty pads often squeak and squeal. If you go to a track, you'll hear a ton of it, even on little cars like the Miata (which you'll see a ton of).

Another interesting thing is that the perception of brake-squeal=bad is far more prevalent in the US than it is in European markets. BMW uses different brake pads in the US market than they do in Europe. The US pads are much quieter than the European pads, but the US pads also generate a ton more brake dust. Lots of guys will buy the Euro pads to cut down on dust, even if they make more noises.

So, all of this is a polite way of saying that you've done a lot of ranting out of ignorance. I don't mean that in an offensive way. I mean that constructively. Before you go ranting about how sports and racing cars should sound on a track, you should spend some time around the real life counter parts. Seeing the occasional Ferrari, Porsche, or Lamborghini on the street doesn't count, because it's extremely unlikely that they're equipped with track-duty brake pads.

 

From experience, most Lamborghinis on the street are equipped with a 19 year old website designer "steering wheel attendant" with a brain the size of a walnut.

 

I visit my local racetrack 3 or 4 weekends every season for the past 10 years. I rarely hear brake squeal.

I say rarely because yes i HAVE heard brake squeal from a few cars.. But the majority of the time I'm not thinking wow that guys brakes suck.. Whether thinking that out of ignorance or not, I rarely think that to myself while watching cars round the track.

I've also watched a lot of in car videos, and again, rarely do I feel like the brakes seem loud or squeal too much... Out of ignorance or not.

I don't take offence to the term ignorant, like most people.. But everything I've said here is the truth, I'm not embellishing or lying. So I'm more confused now than before, as to why so many people feel like brake squeal is totally normal. 

 

Because brake squeal is completely normal. Or maybe more accurately, it is not indicative of a problem with the brakes. It is merely the sound of the pad oscillating as it grips the rotor.

 

I really like it I consider it to be AFB (audible feed back) and, yes, it may not be 100% realistic, but neither is most wheel's FFB. That doesn't mean I would want that removing just because my wheel doesn't behave like a real wheel would.

Anything that helps me to drive or adds to immersion is okay with me

 

Was at a traffic light next to a lime green gallardo. Light changed and I expected the car to scream off. Nope. The guy revved and went nowhere. I pulled away and he was still trying to find the gear.
He lurched up to the next traffic light looking confused and embarrassed. Poor dumb soul.

 

Brake squeal doesn't mean the brakes aren't in tip top condition it's to do with compounds I don't drive fast cars but I do trackdays and race motorbikes the carbon matrix pads I use squeal badly just the way it is

Oh and just to add the pads I use in the wet don't at all
