PS4 Pedal calibration feature request

Hello there. I've posted previously here and submitted a bugs report through 505 about the lack of calibration options in the console version of this game.

Unfortunately, my load cell brake pedal consistently registers a small amount of pressure no matter what I do with the hardware components. In every other game, including Codemasters and SMS titles, I can easily dial that out with deadzone and other options. Is there any chance these options can be added?

I'm a big fan of AC's driving feel, but I rarely boot it up these days - definitely not as fun knowing I'm on the brakes all the time. Thanks for the great sim - hope the console versions get closer to the PC title in this respect.

 

Have you tried to push the brake all the way down down a couple of times while being in the garage? I need to do that every time i first start the game.

 

I have the same problem (x1, fanatec csl pedals). I have to calibrate it on pc. And you dont need to push all pedals down to calibrate in game when you have fanatec pedals.

 

Yep, I've tried that several times. But it doesn't seem to affect anything.

Good to know someone else has experienced this. Hoping they can do something to help in a patch.

 

Do you have fanatec pedals? You can calibrate a dead zone on pc

 

Ah, I see now what you meant. No, I have modded Logitech G29 pedals. And if I recall, that has a pretty rudimentary calibration system. Unless someone with a g29 and a PC can confirm otherwise?

 

I run Fanatec CSPv3 pedals with a Thrustmaster T300 base, connected through a CPX Adapter V2. The CPX Adapter has a "gain" adjustment on it, that I have to use in order to play AC with this setup. I play with the gain nearly maxed out, or completely maxxed out.

You might look into adding a gain adjustment to your load cell mod. What type of load cell brake mod do you have? Ricmotech?

 

Yep, it's the Ricmotech. I haven't heard of gain adjustment in that hardware, but I can look around to see if that's something I can actually do. Thanks for the new info.

Edit: In the meantime, are there any devs who can provide insight into the possible addition of pedal calibration options on the console?

 

Sure thing.

While I don't have a Ricmotech mod, I have talked to their support on the phone regarding parts, and they were extremely helpful. You might consider contacting them to inquire about a gain adjustment for your brake mod.

Alternatively, you could build your own load cell amplifier using a Leo Bodnar LCAMP. The Leo Bodnar webpage has specifications that you could give to Ricmotech support. I'm certain they can tell you whether it would work. Leo Bodnar support might be able to help as well.

All around, I really love having a gain adjustment, even in games with pedal calibration adjustments. It's nice to be able to dial back the gain in F1 cars, while cranking it up a bit in the Gallardo S3, if you know what I mean

 

Hey guys i got a cpx adapter from basherboards to use my csl elite load cell pedals with the t300. How do I calibrate my brake? I get 100% braking with very little force, maybe 5 kg? Gain is completely to the left. I just tried dirt rally and I have the same problem there.

 

Hrm, that's strange. I run mid to high gain with my CSPv3. The first thing Basherboards will tell you to do is update your firmware. I'd try that first:

If that doesn't work, get in touch with Basherboards support. It's possible there's a hardware issue with your CPX Adapter. There's a contact link on that same page, in the top left.

 

I found the problem. The brake was set to 60 by default, instead of 100, in the fanatec control panel. All is good now.
