I noticed you can adjust it "live".
While in a Iracing session, Alt-tab out of it and open the YAML file.
Adjust the number on your brake padel.
Go back to iRacing -> Options -> Click on the pedals calibration button -> Click Back to get out.
It reloads the YAML file that you just changed . So no need to restart the game and makes it easy and quick.
Excellent, Nick! Thanks for that tidbit.
I am honored to be the 69th like. This helped saved me so much time...
Thanks David for the info and for those of us that use the Fanatec V3's plugged into the wheel base it will not work as you have it in the video. Our V3's when we calibrate in iracing the slider goes from 65535 to 0. So instead of increasing the max value in this example to 78642, decrease the 20% as a negative number in the min value. in this example, you would change min value from 0 to -13107 and dont change the center or max values. in case you want to add this info for other situations like this. Again, thanks for the info
Thank you for this information. I was really struggling with the brakes and this has solved my issue.
James Thurston thank you
Cheers, like I posted above this post helped my figure out how to do this with a G29 :)
Thank you!
Thank you James.
The problem that was bothering me has been solved.
I checked the Use for this car and set it to the following settings.
(decrease the 10%)
- Axis: 1
AxisName: 'Brake'
CalibMin: -6553
CalibCenter: 65535
CalibMax: 65535
Dear dive bombers, use 60% of braking force for perfect dive.
If you are trying to do this on a G27, G29 and wondering why it isn't working, it's because the 'zero input value' is the opposite end of the scale i.e. 255 on the G27 is zero brake force rather than 0.
To get around this, you need to set the opposite i.e. CalibMin: to -50, rather than increasing calibmax (which will keep the brake applied the entire time). Changing the minimum from 0 to -50 worked.
Hope this helps.
You are the best
Brilliant. You sir are a true Hero
You living LEGEND THANK YOU SO MUCH
thanks a lot mate, looked around a long time how to get this to work with my G29, but found nothing, you are amazing!
Something to note, this doesn’t work with load cell. However it does work if u set ur max past the hardest u can possibly press it, but it’s not quite the same.
This video explains this 'trick' properly and thank you to the commenter who mentioned adjusting toward the negative scale. My CSL pedals output are reversed where 0 is the max. Thank you Dave for mentioned to check the 'Use custom controls for this car' option.
Hey just wanted to say thanks for these videos you've produced in the last few months. Very helpful and easy to consume the information
This is a MASSIVE tip. Completely transformed my M8 GTE lap time and controllability. Thanks for sharing.
This has to be the BEST video I have seen and certainly the most informative....I just took seconds off my Mt Panorama lap...thanks David.
Thanks for this David, this has helped me massively in Dallara F3 series, especially being at spa this week with the really quick braking points
For people with >>> G29 Pedals
Thanks for the great comment! 🏆🏁
So we dont change the "255" number but add "-51" instead?
Anyway doesnt that brake "force factor" slider in IRacing settings do the same thing?
@@cocosloan3748 I lock up still with the force feedback input
@@MrSherrifff Try with -65 then..(You lock up braking or FFB"?
Hi, now what if i changed / swapped the brake pedal with the clutch ? I mean.... i did assign the clutch pedal as brake in the iracing setup.
for logitech it is inverted, so calibmax and calibcenter will be 255 and calibmin 0, for you to limit your brake you must touch the calibmin, as the example below.(using 40% of the brake on This exemple)

comment here if you don't understand
G25,g27,g29 and g920
I read somewhere on here about not using this adjustment and if you can`t drive without locking up the brakes to keep practicing or quit racing. Let me start by saying that i have put in tons of practice time on the road courses (like years) with the G27 and no matter what i tried the brakes would lock up at a certain point, guys could out brake me by car lengths, you are not going to win, place decent or even have fun if you can`t be competitive or get the car to work the way you want it to. I now have the T300RS GT wheel and pedals and i`m have the same problem. Now do i think it`s me thats messing up, ya i do/did but like i said i`ve tried everything i can think of and put so much practice time in that i now think it`s got to be the pedals. I used this adjustment for the HPD and it did wonders, felt so much better and realistic. Not sure about your daily driver or race car but mine does not lock up when i jam on the brakes for a corner, someone slowing in front of you etc. With all the computer adjustments the the real race cars have these days (F1 Indy etc) this is nothing, i would almost think iRacing should put this in the garage.
My problem now is it`s not working in the BMW M8 not matter what way i go, up or down. My default setting for the T300RS GT brake pedal is 1023, any idea`s on why it`s not working now?
Thanks for all the video`s David, keep up the great job. Also thanks to everyone for adding there tips.
Right now I have a VERY cheap setup and where the pedals don't offer the best in the way of modulating Pedals. This is HUUGE and game changing for me using GTE instead of GT3 cars in IMSA ... ty so much man GREATLY appreciated
I have the T150.
I watched another video of another pedal set, but they used rubber 'cups' to add resistance to the brake pedal.
I recently did something similar.
I took a rolled up towel and placed it behind the brake pedal...wow....what a difference.
I have brake pedal resistance now.
Nice!, whatever works 👍
I have the t150 as well and bought the recent t lcm pedals. I had to re-learn breaking, but it's worth the upgrade. I think upgrading the pedals are more important than the wheel.
OMG! You totally saved me there. I was thinking of cancelling my iRacing subscription because I could not for the life of me get my braking to work on my Thrustmaster T150 pedals. This totally saved the day for me. Awesome!
your videos are the most useful in all youtube panorama tx and congrats
Cool idea, I won't use it because I want the sim to be as realistic as possible and to make sure my muscle memory is good, but nice trick.
I've actually fixed my brakes tonight, mainly for F3. I've been playing with the brake performance kit on my V3s and couldn't get it to work properly in iRacing, then figured out I had Force Factor at 1.6 (which I've now set to 0) but more importantly in the config of my Pedals in Fanatec software I hadn't remapped the min and max so it was going off my last settings, I'd just had to get used to it. I've remapped now and it's so much better, braking is progressive and locking is much less of an occurrence. I was doing 1:35s in the F3 at this week's Catalunya with the weird brake setup as I'd adjusted to it but even faster now having got it done properly, but even this took some getting used to!
Keep up the great videos mate I've referenced them a few times!
Thanks a lot Liam for the support. That sounds great mate and glad you are all hooked up. I am new to my loadcell pedals but really happy so far! Hope to see you out on the track.
Great video again. Actually heusinkweld sprint pedals come with smartcontrol software where you can adjust all of your pedals curves and endpoints on the fly. Anyway I really enjoy your videos, hope there was this kind of channels full of information when I started iracing.
Thanks a lot, yes I read about that. It was part of my inspiration to make research the subject and make the video.
I found this actually makes you slower and using 100% brake effectively can enable you to brake much later than someone who has it locked at 75%
WoW. So this is how they all break soo relaxed. Thank for the video, its a very good thing from you, leveling the fields. Confirm with T-300 this line: Axis: 1
AxisName: 'Y Axis'
CalibMin: -250 ( here you adjust for your neesds )
thanks again
are you talking about the thrustmaster t300 ? if yes what are your exact settings ? I tried but it doesn't seem to work
@@ApsyrysClips it works. just edit that file at CalibMin.. where Y axis is
Thanks for that mate. What a difference that makes in that car!
Block of wood under the brake pedal worked ok but this it loads better. Thanks.
Edit - the post from James saved the day, the same setting goes for the G29. Center and Max stay 55, change CalibMin to a negative number like this:
AxisName: 'Brake'
CalibMin: -25
CalibCenter: 255
CalibMax: 255
--------------------------------------------------------
Did anybody with a G29 get this working? I changed the values in all directions but the only result that I can get is that the brakes only start working after you press them in for 20%, like having a huge deadzone.
The default Yaml settings for the G29 are:
AxisName: 'Brake'
CalibMin: 0
CalibCenter: 255
CalibMax: 255
Also somehow there are Logitec settings in my Yaml file, one with all pedals except the clutch and one for all pedals including the clutch.
Just to be sure I changed the Brake settings under both devices.
omg thank you dude. I was trying to change it for the last 2 days and nothing would work. Got it now!
for fanatec v3 pedals: CalibMin -7500, Center 0 or 65535, Max 65535
Great info as always, David! Thx
I just joined iracing and purchased the RSR after Watching Porsche's new ENDURANCE film and oh my word it locks up haha, I will try this thanks!
you just made my day
I'm having that same problem,thought lowering the brake bias would make it better but it's just longer braking and losing time
So this tip makes it much much better,i'm racing the same car so thank you very much :)
I had some time to experiment with this but unsure which section to tinker with. as I have only the G29 wheel and pedals, there are 2 instances of it, the only difference is the 1st section of joycalib.yaml lists Wheel Axis, Y axis, Brake, and Accelerator, the 2nd section has Wheel axis, Brake, and Accelerator. also the brake values are 0-255
I’m not sure if I will use this, but if I need to, I know how. Thanks David 🤩
Yes I am in the same boat. thanks for your constant support mate.
Great tip, thanks very much. Anything to help to make these cars more drivable.
I finally got to try this, it works so good! Makes driving the v8 supercar so much better. Thanks mate
No problem 👍
Thanks for the video, having MS and nerve damage through my hips and legs, sometimes it is insanely difficult to reach braking thresholds.
I belive this is no longer needed to be done via the file directly. Go to options screen and top left, can adjust pressure.
Thanks man,, help me a lot in my braking points in the Formula 3.5,
You would be a awsome teacher
Cut 7 seconds of my lap time at Phillip Island in the ZB. My lap time is still slow but, I did get faster lol If you don't have load cell pedals I'd recommend this to help with modulating lock up.
Thanks David! Love your videos.
Thanks mate, glad you like them
Thanks for this video I have a question when I calibrate brake should the Fanatec bfr setting be set to zero or what you would normally run at ?
This functionally isn't much different than "over calibrating" your brake on cheap setups like the G920, with the rubber bump stop near the end of the travel. I did this myself, simply due to the potato nature of the G920 pedal, when trying to find the last couple tenths. It's basically adjusting brake pressure, which is something one would do in a real racecar anyway.
I mean, you could prob save 0.2 a lap by mapping your clutch to a button, rather than using the iRacing auto-clutch. If anything, these kinds of creative uses of the SIM, are themselves a simulation of what real race teams do to find time on the track.
I suspect this might be helpful for drivability to us average drivers, but for the 10K aliens out there, it would make them slower. Their ability to modulate brake pressure is a key element to their skill and speed.
Indeed you are correct. Really just a tool to help anyone struggling with their setup or the car. For sure this is not needed at all by the fast guys. Load cell pedals mitigate the need really for this. Thanks for your comment :)
David - great video! I don’t think there should be any shame in doing this, I believe (based on cars I’ve driven) that the ease of lock ups are unrealistic in and of themselves. Especially now proper race cars with slicks. I get having to pussyfoot a vintage car on bias ply tires, but not a modern race car. Not that locking should be impossible, but at higher speeds especially it should t be a given. I struggled in the Porsche Cup car with this until I gained some muscle memory.
I may try this in the Porsche. I won’t go to the point where it can’t lock up - I think it should be able to, but maybe 85-90% might be a more realistic sweet spot.
Neither this nor Dan Suzuki's method work for me - the setting menu still shows 100% input. Also using Elite with LC. Am I overlooking smth?
Cool that you found out something like that.
I wouldn't use that hack. I chose iRacing because it is very realistic and with such a modification you take away a piece of reality.
Of course in reality there are also possibilities to adjust the brake pressure of a race car. I am not sure if it is comparable.
For me it is clear that if I can't control the car without such an adjustment, then I have to practice more or stop SimRacing.
This is just my personal and honest opinion.
Keep up the good work, I like your videos very much and they help a lot. Thanks for that.
I agree mate, some hardware pedals sold out there allow you to do this very easily but yes I would always prefer muscle memory! Thanks for support!
Hello, first of all thanks for this trick its very usefull for me, i just started iracing a month ago and i had some problems with tyres locking. I’m doing sim racing for 4 years now and i have to say that i don’t find iracing very realistic on the braking aspect. I had the opportunity to test the french formula 4 cars at le mans and i can assure you that the pressure that you have to put on the braking pedal is unbelievable otherwise the car is just not controllable and with this trick i have to push harder on the brakes which reminds me the real feeling on the pedal. Even more strange i don’t get why the tyres locking happens at something like 80% (On a straight line we imagine) i feel that i’m loosing 20% of what my pedals can give me of pressure and precision in terms of braking, in my opinion if you run on this sim game with the basic braking setup i feel that the pressure is absolutely not real. Thanks again for the video and for sharing your opinions.
It's something that should be available in the base game. I can put a rubber stopper on my T3PA pedals, for example, at the 80% mark and do the same thing manually. W/o that adjustment on your pedals you are at an equipment disadvantage, in other words, paying money to be faster and that's not how it should be. This adjustment comes with most modern race cars other than barebones beginner models anyway and should be in the base game as it is in most other games.
Nice. Will suite the Porsche 911 cup a treat
Thanks, yes I bet it will. Let me know how you get on.
I disagree. Cold tires require much softer pedal at first... and brake effort is different at many corners.
wow awesome tip. i need this so bad always locking up but im gonna try one more time with new tire model. im never gonna be an alien driver so Im gonna use this tool most likely thanks David
Glad you like it mate, yes fingers crossed it helps. Never say never mate.
Hi, I saw your video, very interesting. I wanted to ask you where did you find Sublime text and how did you connect it to I Racing. Thank you
Maybe I did something wrong but I couldn't find that file you mentioned. I have the G920.
Great tip for cars without ABS mate! I only just got back into iracing yesterday and bought the M8 straight away. This will deffo help so thanks for uploading. Also BIG thanks for your other tips and settings vids, they were very helpful. Hope you don’t mind if I add you on iracing? Keep up the good work and maybe I’ll see you on track sometime in the future!
Hi thanks a lot. Really hope it helps and yes add me for sure. I look forward to seeing you on track and finding out how the tip helps you.
you have an amazing gift
i followed this video excatly and every time i load in the brakes still lock up at full press. not sure what im doing wrong. im using v3 pedals
David.. I found this video last night and was immediately intrigued. I'm new to iRacing and using an old Logitech Driving Force GT setup that I had from my old Gran Turismo PS3 days. I am struggling with brake lockup and new pedals are definitely on my to-do list. I was hoping this would serve as a stop-gap until that happens, but this morning I tried it and noticed something strange about the joy-calib file. Both the brake and accelerator were shown as max 255. I edited the file to 306 as a first test and it seemed to have no effect. Then I noticed that the calibcenter value was also shown as 255, not 0 as it is on yours. I edited that to 0 and when I got in the game, it was showing my brake was depressed by about 80% even when I wasn't touching it... in order to get the car to move, I'd have to press the accelerator and also press the brake and when I pressed the brake, the pressure percentage went down.
Thoughts?
Rich Lavigne i have the same issuee
Rich Lavigne do you have logitech g29?
Omelet 52 I’m on a Logitech Driving Force GT, which is a really old version of the G29.
Rich Lavigne oh found out you have to put in a negative number for it to work. hope this helps 👍
@@MPH_Racing I'll give it a try. Thanks.
Don't feel too bad about this, people like me actually have a similar method of doing this in Heusinkveld's software. And it's even more customizable. I wouldn't be surprised to find that Fanatec may be trying to make something of their own.
This is the getto version of what Heuzinkvelds have in their software. Great stuff tnx as I did it with my v3 by pressing harder and set it to max. What sucks when you want to drive different classes! So this is legend
Brake force slider has kinda same affect if take time to play around with its setting.
So I have to change each car ?
FYI, since the BMW M8 locks up at about 80% pedal input, you'll want to take your pedal count (6500 or so) and divide by 0.8, not multiple by 1.2. If you multiple instead of dividing, you're decreasing your desired percentage that iRacing is perceiving your pedal input. I hope that was easy to follow, let me know if I need to explain better. Otherwise, great video, this could help my buddy who doesn't have a load cell (sending it to him now).
Thanks. Glad you liked the video. It depends on pedals. Fanatec goes up like I did, Thrustmaster goes down like you are doing. I have the Fanatec CSL Elite Loadcell pedals and you need to move the number up to reduce. Every pedal uses different mapping mathmatics.
@@Sampsoid but if you're going up, you should still divide by 0.8 if you want the end result to be iRacing percieving your max pedal input as 80%
@@bradylubenow2453 Right I see what your saying. Yes good point. 20% of total then make the addition. Nice spot. Thanks
Dividing by 0.8 is the same as multiplying by 1.25. The latter is the reciprocal of the former, that is (1/0.8)=1.25. We can prove this by 100/0.8=125 and is the same as 100x1.25=125. I think David meant to multiply by 1.25 instead of 1.2 to be exact. If the factor used was 1.2, it would have meant that the brakes locked up at 0.83333333 or 83.3333333% - (1/1.2)=0.8333333.
Very good and useful tip David. I know it can be useful and I believe a number of these aliens out there or near aliens are using it. Further, I can imagine that once there are similar files within other sims they can be adjusted likewise. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Thanks for the tip!
More than welcome mate, thanks for the support!
you're legend ! Will be very handy to make the Porsche cup car behave :)
Thanks a lot, hope it helps. Let me know how you get on.
David Sampson hi, I can’t find this file for some reason
And the trick is that you can additionally set this file to 'Read-Only' after the setup is completed
Will this work for loadcell ?
Great tip, but a question if i may
The min on my pedals isn't 0, it's around 200, should i change it to 0?
Cheers
Keep up the good work, much appreciated
having trouble with the thrustmaster T150. I changed the settings and am still locking up? any ideas?
Yes make sure you edit the right number
isn't this the same as adjusting brake pressure in sims like rfactor 2?
yes. and i used to do this but have gone back to 100% and modulate it myself because you can sometimes use full brake pressure, particularly at high downforce levels. then trail off into the corner
This is like a big thing as braking in iracing is nearly impossible and I was wondering how can people brake so hard. Would you say this is just exploit or actually cheating in the game? I wonder if iRacing actually will fix this or not.
if you have Heusinkveld Sprint pedals you can adjust this in the software of your pedals too (for instance you can configure 80% pressure equals to 100% input). So I don't think this is considered cheating.
@@JonasWindey wow I need to rethink my whole iracing now :D Thank you for the video!
@@Jardier You're more than welcome, apologies for the late reply. Big fan of your videos
When i am doing this in every car abs just block it and the car slide..what i must change ;
David did you stop making videos? I haven’t seen anything in quite a long time. It’s a shame as your videos were always excellent.
I'll be back real soon, thanks for the message
Tried the Fanatec Load cell pedals plugged into the DD1 and it would not work ,in the end i found out the Fanatec load cells pedals need to be plugged into the PC and not the DD1 for this too work if anyone out there is struggling with this.
Hi Dave great tutorial videos i really enjoy watching them. Can i ask does the lock up brake trick work with the G29 pedals in JoyCalib file?
Another RUclipsr did something similar but instead of multiplying Y-axis by 1.20, they divided Y by .77%. What's the difference? Is one more accurate than the other?
So I have tried doing this so many times but it doesn't seem to work for me and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or I'm being played
Great tip I am going to try it on the BMW M8 GTE
Best of luck with it and thanks. Let me know how you get on.
@@Sampsoid Hey, Ive went into sublime with the bmw file. But reloading iracing the pedals havent changed. G29
Thanks.
You're welcome
I've tried everything with my Logitech Driving Force GT and it does not work. So I'm wondering why just putting a shim under your pedal to keep you from depressing the brake pedal 100% wouldn't have the same effect?
thank you!
I can't get this to work. I have my fanatec v3 pedals plugged into my fanatec v2.5 base. Any change I make in joycalib makes no difference! Weird!
I too was having the same issue - Our V3's when we calibrate in iracing the slider goes from 65535 to 0. So instead of increasing the max value in this example to 78642, decrease the 20% as a negative number in the min value. in this example, you would change min value from 0 to -13107 and dont change the center or max values
Hi, thanks for the vid, but, I've the CSL Elite loadcell pedals and it doesn't seem to matter what I put in the yaml file the braking meter still fills up. Is it because I'm using the Ferrari evo gt3 with ABS? I can lock the brakes if I turn ABS off completely. Even set to level 2 out of 12 I'm able to stand on the brakes without locking. Hmmm...
Gosh, has the potential to make a huge difference.
Thank you.
For me, joyCalib.yaml gives;
- DeviceName: 'Logitech G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel USB'
InstanceGUID: '{027D7740-7347-11E9-8001-444553540000}'
- Axis: 2
AxisName: 'Brake'
CalibMin: 27
CalibCenter: 255
CalibMax: 255
Hmmm, altering those numbers seems to make no difference.
I feel it worth the while to get it sorted, so shall keep at it.

If you are trying to do this on a G27, G29 and wondering why it isn't working, it's because the 'zero input value' is the opposite end of the scale i.e. 255 on the G27 is zero brake force rather than 0.
To get around this, you need to set the opposite i.e. CalibMin: to -50, rather than increasing calibmax (which will keep the brake applied the entire time). Changing the minimum from 0 to -50 worked."
in lolgitec i differect is 255 the max how i ll make it ?
Great ABS tip video! I usually am not a big fan of brakes locking up. So when I do ever get a chance to play iRacing, I can follow your tips and see how my braking and steering matches with my wheel. My wheel isn't that great, it's only a cheap one. Other than that, this is a useful vid for ABS.
Thanks a lot, yes let me know how you get on.
Hey , it’s work with g29 ?
I have this problem, I brake very hard and end up holding the brake for a long time, so the wheels lock and raise a white smoke, ahahahahah
That's cool! Does it work with load cells too?
Hello.. I just figure out that when I brake 100% I get 4095 same as throttle. Do I have an issue with the brake cell??
On my G920 pedal box, because the brake pedal is pressure sensitive I can do the same thing by varying how far down I press the pedal, but its not as accurate or repeatable as this method
Got it working but have a question, if say I have it working with one car and then want to do it with another car. I would need to re-calibrate the second car? would that not return the 1st cars settings to default? In turn, the trick only works with one car at a time?
Trying to help a friend of mine with V3 pedals. His joyCalib file shows min 0, center 65535, and max 65535. He gets lock up even after he releases the pedal. He tried to change center to 0, but it locks up as soon as he touches his pedals. Any clue to this?
What brake force setting would you recommend with this..having this problem with f3 on the g920 pedals. Thanks.
0.80
@@ConnorJ177 thanks man il try this now
iRacing tyre model does not 'flat spot' yet? useful tweak though!
is this in officel races alwed`?
My fanatec pedals aren’t showing on joycalab for some reason?
Interesting - however, at high speed full brake power may not lock the wheels, which may then happen as you slow down - esp on aero cars. This would thus increase stopping distances causing slower lap times wouldn’t it?
Sorry not sure I follow. This is set per car and If you brake better, you brake later which is faster.
David Sampson but you may be able to break at 100% at high speed without locking up, rather than the 80%, so you are loosing some breaking power.....
@@drnat07 True but there is a point where you will lock up and then you will loose lap time. Lots. There is no ABS on this car. So for example you just cannot use 90% brake in the M8 without locking up. Hope it helps. I am not using this as I have a loadcell pedal and don't really need it. The aim was to help people setup their car and If they have poor perfroming brake spring or should really help.
David Sampson Lock up force is variable depending on speed - skill is to break until jus before lock up for maximum retardation......hard to do & beyond my skill set certainly lol
@@drnat07 Yes for sure I get what you are saying. Sorry didn't understand you meant slow speed. As I tried to say in the video, this is not the answer, just a tool. Hope to see you out on track.
I feel guilty trying this, I feel like I should be learning to modulate my brakes properly, I don't know... I'm using iRacing to learn race craft (and basic racing skills) to start doing a real world series in the future...
yeah but as a race driver, I'll tell you iracing is so unrealistic for this - no GT car would ever lock like this with ABS on, ever.
@@danwellsracing Oh, I can imagine from trackdays in my own car. I'm just trying to not add bad habits. Really just there to learn the repetition and visual acuity
@@danwellsracing What can I do to make this as good a learning process as possible, in your opinion? I want it to be as accurate as it can given its limitations, to stop me developing bad habits before I start proper race tuition
@@uksharif There's a long list! Drop me an email to danwellsracing@gmail.com, I'll respond with some pointers for you!
@@DieTaube4 Even GTE car wouldn't lock like this when it has downforce. Driving the Porsche GTE car at Le Mans, you use half pressure everywhere in the braking zones... It's just not quite what it is in real life.
David, can you also use this for the skip barber? Because I couldn’t find the skip barber in the setup directory
Already got my answer
Geo is Discord right?
David Sampson correct🙈
Thanks for the tips. I'm in my 2nd week - and I don't have a 'Setup' Directory in IRacing…. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks again.
Hi, are you sure about that? No offence meant but it shouldn't matter how long you've been playing, the setup folder should still contain inputs like steering wheel etc for whatever car you use, as long as the use for this car check box is checked i'd say.
OK David I will have to try this in the V8 Supercar as I'm really struggling to pull it up quickly without locking up and distributing the tyres. I'm Very new to iracing so it could just be my inexperience in using the correct brake bias so if anyone has any ideas on how to overcome this in the Aussie Holden V8 Supercar, please, Please PLEASE HELP LOL 🏎🏁
Great find, thank you!
I am trying to race the Porsche 911 RSR but the brakes lock up real easily. I tried changing the number as you suggested on this video but it did not make any difference. The brakes still lock up at exactly the same place. Have you tried this on the Porsche? Any further help would really be appreciated.
Only suggestions I have are A) make sure you are using custom controls for the car and B) do NOT re-calibrate the pedals or it resets. Also read some of the comments above as different pedals have different procedures for this trick
Hi David
Thanks so much for this content I am struggling with braking on Iracing I have the G920 peddle set and since the updates I am not able to drive the car without brakes locking up. I have tried your suggestions but still have no good feel of the peddle at all. Any ideas ?
Does this still work ?
so, I could for example just give 8% ? that'd be at full pedal stomp, iracing thinks my brake position would be at 92% ? I can't get a handle on the FR2, so gotta try it
Yes indeed that is correct. Best of luck and let me know how you get on.
