First a few questions and statements?
What did the actual brake pedal feel like when pressing down on them? Where
they easy to push on up to a point, then get harder to push? For instance,
In my car (and I know it is not a GP car) when I press on the brake, I
usually go to the same spot for light braking. From that point on the
pedal, there is less resistance to me pressing on it. If I have to brake
harder then I push harder on the brake pedal, thus going into a noticeably
stiffer section of the pedals travel. You might have to go experiment to
see what I am talking about.
I made my own gas&brake pedals. The problem with them is that the
resistance is relatively the same throughout the entire movement of the
pedal. As I see it, not a big problem with the gas pedal. I think, that
having a pedal that has relatively the same resistance is not as, should I
say, realistic as it could be. I work in building controls and someone once
told me, "If the building design is bad, then it will make well designed
controls look bad. Same holds true for the controls. If the control design
is bad, then it will make a well designed building look bad." My big
questions is this: Would making my brake pedal have a two stage resistance
device make the more so realistic?
