Hi all, not sure which part of the forum this would be best in so putting it here for now... please bear with me as I try to explain the issue!
I use a T150 wheel, with the T3PA pedals. The pedals come with a rubber conical thing to put behind the brake pedal, which gives some sense of the braking being a little progressive.
However, the brake pedal self-calibrates as I'm driving. The result of this is that if for some reason I apply more pressure than usual to the brakes, this will set a new point at which maximum braking pressure is registered by the system. After this, I will have to apply the same amount of pressure each time I want maximum braking.
So, the overall effect of this is that as a race progresses (or even a lap), I find myself having to apply more and more brake pressure to achieve the same result. This can be quite dramatic if there is an incident and I automatically stamp on the brake pedal to avoid a crash, as then I am left having to stamp just as hard every time in any serious braking zone!
I often find when I've just loaded up AC, and the braking max point is not so far, that my laptimes are much better. This is due to having far more control, and the ability to hit 100% brake force far quicker.
Does anyone else have these pedals, or experience a similar issues? I'd love to hear some tips on how this might be overcome. In particular, if there is a way of making sure the max-brake point is set and does not keep self-calibrating, that would be amazing!
