    Looking for a better feel in the braking zones...driving with g27,using the clutch pedal for brake. if I put my foot to the floor after hard braking
    you would think the tires should lock up ?

    Antilock Brakes="0"
    Spin Recovery="0"

    brake as clutch is that for your left foot braking ? i ask as i was told a guy did this as he thought that was what left foot braking is. lol

    maybe adjust your brake pressure and or your sensitivity.

    Did you calibrate your pedal properly? You too nascar2112, logitech drivers tend to forget what the maximum throw is on the pedals do before you get into the car, depress all pedals fully in the control menu to be sure they are calibrated correctly :)

    Stock g27 pedals don't help either ;) I usually have to set the brake pressure to somewhere between 90/95% because it is so easy to fully depress the brakes..

    Yeah, i set my sensitivity to 35% ingame, and use 80-85% brake pressure, works awesome now. Also using the clutch assembly as my gas pedal, just moved the whole housing, better throttle control now, lol

    Sensitivity only gets you to 'full' faster, it doesn't increase it. It sounds like you're not actually hitting 100% with the pedal down, how do the graphs in the controller settings section (in game) look? Where it shows the position as you move the wheel around and press the pedals, it seems unlikely your brake pedal will actually be shown reaching full if you can't lock the brakes (so a calibration issue outside rFactor2 probably).

    Like probably everyone else I find the brakes quite sensitive, no way I could use the clutch pedal on my G27 because I'd go straight to locking up with such little resistance (of course you could get used to it eventually, but I'm happy using the actual brake pedal :))

    100% here and no block, and that's needed to do a FR3.5 45 minutes race with no pit stop losing only 1 second at the end :eek: practice is all.

    But the problem is not if you push too hard the brake, de problem is "how", G25/G27 pedals have no resistance, and is hard to know how much you are pressing brake and how much are you "modulating" if you do not practice. But when you are used is not hard to do lots of laps not blocking. Pressing 100% of pedal brake during the begining of straight brakings, and the modulating while entering every turn.

    I thought before in to do a video exaplining how to brake efficiently with 95%/100% of brake pressure with no blocking the tires and saving tires. With rF2 overlay and different cars/tracks. I think today can be a good moment :D with FR3.5, 370z, Skip Barber and Clio...

    I'm only a "good driver", there are way better drivers, and I race when some really fast... I will do really soon that videos (some days), and maybe (for sure yes when I will finish my exams at university) I will do a recopilation of the fastest lap of every race of my league with the telemetry data in the screen and a linked setup after every race. The setup isn't sure because not all drivers share their setups even after race finished, if that driver don't want to share, I will ask the next faster one :D

    I think that can be interesting. I'm sure some other drivers can show better times or are faster, but I will try to use the experience of a league :eek: can be great!

    PS: I just say you are perplex! If i'm not wrong... have I saw you in simracing.es? I'm sure that yes,

    Ok, but are you actually getting full braking? If you slam the brakes on at full speed and keep it there until you come to a stop, you should definitely lock a brake or two...

    This is why you can't lock your wheels, turn it off :p
