Thank you Will for doing this video. I've been out of the sim racing game for over a year. Throat Cancer, Not driving for over a year of course means all my hardware is out dated. This video has helped me get my V3 pedals at least back in line. Having them setup wrong has only meant I'm casing my tail. The Cancer is gone and I've finely physically able to start racing again.

Great guide Will, thanks! One thing to note regarding curves/profiles is that different sims usually already have different pressure profiles for diffetent inputs for a specific car, which is true in real life cars as well. I believe most sims assume a linear pedal travel in order for an in-sim profile/curve to work as intended. Adjustment is useful ofc when you think the sim got it wrong.

Great video. As an ex office chair Simracer I must say that I've already calibrated my pedal this way, simply because the office chair kinda forces you to do so, since it is not very stable, so ram the brakes is not a good thing to do. Now I have a proper rig, but the calibration philosophy remained.

Could you make a video about the physical setup of pedals? I mean how you position them etc. I own the invictas as well, and I love them. But I can't get them mounted without either straining my gas or break foot. I have them tilted forward like you, which helps a bit. But I still can't race them for a prolonged time.

This is what I've explained so so many guys. Now, iRacing specifically has some funky ABS implementation which is why you just barely get into it to be fast. Go into ACC and guys murder the ABS at 100% to be quick. But my Invictas and the "hard stop" at 80% feels like a cheat code in a GT3 in iRacing. You can still get to 100% for heavier zones and suspension compression zones, but our calibration is basically identical. Just a VERY different bar value to achieve it lol

I have heusinkveld sprints and use a non-linear curve for the brake. It has a preset called "slow start" which is great. When starting to press the pedal and there is no real resistance in the pedal I don't brake much, but as soon as the resistance in the pedal starts, the brake starts applying more force.

@thomas6063 7 ай бұрын

Ditto, I run the same sort of non-linear braking profile as well for my Asetek La Prima pedals. (In Racehub, it's the default 2nd/middle option of Asetek's built-in braking profiles). For me personally, I tend to over brake on turns where only a dab of pressure is necessary due to the resistance being low as the brake is still in the early stage of its pedal stroke. So, by selecting the profile I mentioned above, I don't over brake when my brake pedal is in it's lower resistance phase (using the same software that you see here in Will's video... again, for frame of reference I am referring to the middle profile curve in the braking section, the one just to the right of Will's favorite profile which is the default linear curve).

I figured the dead zone adjustment on my own. I was using a car on Gt7 that cut the throttle off as soon as you touched the brakes. It actually took me a second to figure out that I was resting my foot on the brakes and if I’m doing it then I’m likely doing it most times.

@shirschi98 Жыл бұрын

Its interesting, I run way higher brakepressure with 85bar (invicta pedals). I love the "dynamic range" it gives me. Especially in high downforce cars were in corners with a short straight before the peak brake force is only like 50%. Beeing able to trailbrake at low pressures is just amazing.

@HazewinDog Ай бұрын

I came here expecting to learn how my brake pedal is setup wrong and how I'm losing time not always braking to 100% despite driving a car with ABS, but it turns out I had my brake setup exactly how you said and I'm not necessarily losing time by only braking around 80% most the time... TIL! btw I did get to fix my throttle pedal top deadzone with your advice :)

@rarewhiteape Жыл бұрын

I had a set of Fanatec CSL pedals and last year I replaced them with a set of Heusinkvelds. First thing I did was set them up to feel exactly like my Fanatecs. I spent hundreds of dollars on them for nothing, but at least they’re fancy 😅 Although, to be fair the He pedals have massively more adjustable settings than Fanatec gives you. I was able to fine tune my clutch bite and brake feel to a high degree. And surprisingly, the stiffer spring in the throttle makes it easier to navigate pit lane speed limits in cars without a limiter, like stock cars and the new Formula Ford in iRacing.

CSL pedal user, I have the load cell; but the stock product only have super stiff elastomers so there’s no progressive or stepping force, it feels like hiring a brick. I change those elastomers for a spring and hard rubber to have that tactile point. And I set it up to be at 80% brake force using my load cell sensibility. If I’m in a car that locks wheels easily the I increase the load cell sensibility si the tackle point became 70, or 60% force. So I’ll always por the same force trough my pedal and in the simulator the brake pressure increase or decrease depending in the LC sensibility

Well... I set my Invicta brake to about 60% at the end of the soft stage and the rest goes to the hard stage with 100% at about 60 bars brake pressure. This way the brake is usable for me both on ACC and iRacing without having to fiddle around. On iRacing I feel properly when the hard stage is reached and feel quite good how much I can brake until possible lockup, whereas in ACC when you literally have to stomp on the brake I can feel when the trailbraking is starting to be effective as a feedback when releasing. And this way I can brake in ACC in fast long corners almost the same way as on iRacing. I love this thing 👍

Great video! I think it would be nice to have a counterpart that explains how to adjust the brake pressure in the game to make best out of your ability to hover the brake pedal near the 80% mark at will.

@MikkoRantalainen 10 ай бұрын

@@jeffreybankers3988 The idea for not going to 100% with ABS in real world (and good enough simulators, too) is that ABS works by repeatedly releasing the brake pressure but the brake pressure is then restored to match the pedal position. As a result, if you apply 100% braking with ABS, the tyres lose traction with each pulse of the ABS system (because the brake pressure is too high between the pulses). For optimal brake performance, you want to go as fast as possible to the ABS limit and then hover as close as possible the limit where ABS doesn't need to pulse the brakes. However, you should prefer to have slightly too high brake pressure than too little for optimal performance because rubber is not technically a solid and will have the maximum brake performance while sliding ever so slightly. Therefore, you should have some ABS action for every braking for max performance. I guess that in theory it would be possible to create an ABS system that actually reduces brake pressure and ignores your pedal position but real world systems respect your pedal position as far as I know. The 80% idea seems to be that you adjust the brake pressure (in game) to always match the friction limit near the same pedal position. That way you apply similar technique for every car which makes it more repeatable.

@boostedmedia 10 ай бұрын

Yep you’re spot on. The 80% is pretty much an arbitrary number that just happens to be about right for most cars. When you’re actually driving you’ll get a feel for exactly how much pressure you can apply before locking up and this of course varies depending on speed, turn in angle, etc. If you just mash the pedal to 100% you’ll be bouncing off ABS as you said. I’m still not convinced this is the best way to do it in ACC although a lot of people seem to be convinced.

@eclark9965 Жыл бұрын

I’ve also got the invicta pedals. I tried your settings and found it just took too much fine braking ability out of it at the cost of a bit less force. But maybe as you say it just takes some getting used to. At any rate it’s nice to see different perspectives. Keep yo the good work

@Django45 Жыл бұрын

I used to use a linear throttle and even tried more exponential to limit myself adding too much on corner exits. But... Lately I have watched a review of motorized pedals from Daniel Morad where he discussed how he likes to setup his throttle pedal and he prefers some sort of logarithmic with steeper start and then more shallow but linear end. I tried it and love it more, because you add some initial jolt that you set up to where it feels good as a starting throttle application and then at the end you have a finer control with feathering it to get the best exits. It took some getting used to but it is harder to spin out when you go a bit more ham towards the end of the travel, since it is less than true linear. I found out that me setting up the more exponential curve made the first application easier (cheating my poor technique) and when I went to full it added too much at the end and often spun myself out. Try it guys, might work for you as well!

It should be noted optimal brake pressure varies depending on the Sim you play. AC and ACC you definitely don't want to calibrate your brakes for 80% but more like 100%. These games give optimal braking and stopping distances by modulating around 100%. AMS2 and iRacing will give you almost constant lock ups, longer braking distances and flat spotted tyres using this though. They work much better at 80%.

That 80%ish braking is very iracing specific though...

To calibrate brake pedal i imagine Monza T1 and do it... I guess that's the hardest braking point we can get

Faster and more consistent isn’t the most important thing in sim racing, surely it’s having fun 🤗

I use a curve for my brake pedal so that I can play around trail braking on that top 70% more easily.

Yo dude. I only race f1 game codemaster. Should i still do the same calibration because its really important to get 100% brake pressure in this game. Or is there something else i should do?

@m4rtyking Жыл бұрын

Im referring to brake calibration steps shown in video

@boostedmedia Жыл бұрын

I still run the same calibration for F1 but you could go a little more sensitive if you feel the need. You just don’t want to be locking up every time you reach your threshold point.

I'm new to simracing, so I'm wondering why set deadzone in top end of throttle? With this method, I think it's a guessing game?! But if I calibrate the throttle all the way to 100%, the pedal itself will tell me where it's 100% mechanical, so there is no guessing. So why put deadzone on throttle? thnx

Why is there no review on the Simagic pedal on the channel?

@boostedmedia Жыл бұрын

We don’t review Simagic products anymore due to past experiences dealing with them and seeing how they have treated other reviewers.

You should inform people that this way of calibration is only for iRacing and RF2, I can see you even have ACC on the screen. This is wrong calibration for ACC. New people might try this in F122 or ACC and might get stuck with bad breaking forever, because the biggest simracing youtube says this is the right way.

Not true. A good “base” will help a driver become quicker and more consistent easier than a poor setup. Perhaps a driver is a touch slow because of incorrect settings?!?
