I have a LWFF wheel and pedals. When I barely touch the brake, the wheels usually lock up. My question is: am I better off setting the controller sensitivity for the brakes high (like 90%) or low (like 10%) to help stop the brakes from locking up? Or is there just a problem with my braking style? (I'm playing with all aids off). Thanks, James
Did you calibrate your wheel? -I use an LWFF as well and got low senstivity set to 0%. Even so I have to nearly press the pedal completely to get a lock up. If it's only the front wheels (or the rear), then you might try moving the brake balance a little. Anyway, braking is not the most subtle part of racing... gotta be able to lean on 'm hard. IMO it's always best to have the low sentivity settings as low as possible and let setup and driving technique take care of the rest. Jan. =--- James Larson wrote... > I have a LWFF wheel and pedals.

Sorry if it's obvious. but make sure you check your brake balance in the car setup. -Nick Jan Verschueren <[email hidden]> wrote:
