I think for me the best thing about load cell is that it makes trail braking feel so much more natural and intuitive. Great video as always.

Great point!

Exactly, I just got mine a week ago and I've just learned how to smoothly trail brake and gas it right after to continue the angle after you got the apex. Now I just got to get it consistently lol

Cheers buddy. I have bought an upgrade for the G29. I have tried the spring options and braking is the one thing that is causing me to lose major time. I over brake compared to the top guys. They can hit 25% consistently. I can’t do that with a spring. Your video pushed me over the edge. I hope I can see an improvement.

@robertulrich3964 6 ай бұрын

true up to a point. once you get into the high end pedals, they come full circle and go back to a really big spring. it seems like they should just put in a heavy spring in the low end kits.

wouldnt a non load cell pedal feel kinda the same by adding a heavier spring or multiple short different load springs to give that muscle memory?

@SimRacingCorner Жыл бұрын

A firmer spring will help on a linear brake. But it's not the same. In the end, you still have a different type of sensor input, and the load cell is always much better.

@StevenRegna 2 ай бұрын

It's the same because high high end braking pedals have a big heavy spring in it. Full circle.

@harryjoelsson7232 Жыл бұрын

Question. Wouldn’t the force you apply in a load cell be directly related to the distance? In other words, how is it different than a linear pedal in the sense that the distance will always be the same? For example, if I but a linear pedal at 50% distance, doesn’t that always require the same force? And vise versa, wouldn’t plying the same amount of force on a load cell always equate to the same distance? How do these yield different results? Thanks

@SimRacingCorner Жыл бұрын

Say, If I exchanged the spring with a solid rod. The pedal may not have any movement (or very little, as the load cell does flex when under stress), but the load cell is still weighing the pressure as I press into the pedal and applying braking. As I said, not distance, it's about the resistance of weight you feel. Usually, load cell brakes don't have a pure spring setup like the T-LCM brake, so it's probably not the best example. Stiffer materials are normally used that reduces the pedal movement, and a strong progressive sensation of resistance. You can watch my T-LCM brake review here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bNGSepih3tDQqJs.html, and my follow-up modding video here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdNxZJR9scediaM.html.

Ive just upgraded from G29 to Fanatec dd pro with load cell. I modded my G29 as much as i could without actually replacing it, So different spring, added a rubber block and adjusted the distance required in game, Now, this helped muscle memory find the correct pressure, more or less, for heavy braking, But what it didn’t do is improve any trail braking or fine precision braking, because well, it’s still measuring based on distance of pedal travel. There is nothing for my body to remember because I can’t ‘feel’ it.

@@robertulrich3964 throttling is a little different, i added a stiffer spring to that for finesse, but you have a clear signals from the throttle, sound of revs, visuals of trajectory, feel of oversteer/understeer which help regulate.

Is it fine to get a starter set with hal sensor breaks (looking at moza r5) and replace the springs with stronger ones and maybe adjust the sensor curve with software?

It depends on what racing games you intend to run, and whether you're a casual racer or someone more serious into this hobby.

For all my 3 years i have had pedals it was never load cell. First it was the cheap Logitech ones and right now its fanatec, and i just feel like it wont do what i ask of it like I can't be accurate when i need to be its very difficult. Any tips on what are the best value for money load cell pedals i can get?

@@SimRacingCorner everything about those pedals seem and look great but I have a specific requirement. So the way I set up where my pedals are is I have them on a wood floor with a stick mat on it and my pedals have rubber under it so it stops it moving (most of the time.) I can't really have this any other way so I was wondering if these pedals can work with that setup or not. Also my budget is actually around £150 and I was shocked how cheap the pedals you recommended are.

Load cell is easier to be broken than magnetic sensor one, I don't understand why don't they use a magnetic sensor and put a thing that gives progressive resistance to your foot(further it goes harder ut gets, just like a car brake) and program the magnetic sensor to match the load cells so it is going to be last very long.

@SimRacingCorner 6 ай бұрын

Load cells are durable, I've never had one fail. It's impossible to imitate the sensitivity of input that a load cell provides with the alternative you describe.
