That's why I don't read to much and stick to my own topic over there to report.

Edit: I see you have found it ;)

I did indeed man, nicely done. I made the mistake of posting in few threads that got locked because of headbangers posting in them.
Hopefully your thread will stay open and we'll have somewhere to post our issues in a cool manner.
At the same time, I hope the Fanboys don't turn up causing trouble. I've absolutely nothing against PC gamers but there's a few numpty's hanging around over there stirring the sheet and causing a stink.

I've found that if I fully depress my brake pedal on my G29 after I've loaded the game, before I select a mode, it is easier to brake with non ABS cars.

Yep it's been like that on the PC version for a while as well. I was just recently made aware of it.

On pc we have a little pop up app with 4 different coloured vertical sliders. I pop it up whenever I start the game and use it to calibrate the pedals. Do you have the same on console?

Well I won't go into any discussion over there and I hope the mods will manage this mayhem.

In which case once they get private lobbies sorted in AC then the Formula Abarth (Tatus) will be just as good, as that thing is also great fun in a very similar way.
Click to expand...
The Tatus was the open-wheeler I was driving earlier this morning before switching to the Lotus 98T. I never drive any of those open-wheelers, but I will admit that Tatus is a whole lotta fun. :D It's not super duper torquey or overly powerful, so controlling it is much easier than my McLaren MP4/12C, for instance. With a couple of weeks practice I could probably really drive that car right to the edge... A fantastic balance of every quality open-wheel drivers are looking for, just on a more subdued level.

I have AC, rF2, Dirt Rally, Automobilista, R3E, GTR/GTR2, Race07, Power & Glory 3, PCars, Euro Trucking Simulator, and Murican Trucking Simulator. :)

Brandon, you wouldn't happen to enjoy racing or driving games, would you? I get that impression, but perhaps I'm being presumptuous. :lol: What a wonderful selection of games to choose from because contrary to what some fanboys like to believe there is not a single game published that is the "best" at every aspect of driving/racing. Plus, "best" is a subjective label. Some things can be quantified objectively, but overall it all comes down to opinions. That's all they are, opinions.

I like that you can adjust the boost on the fly - X on the PS4 - really helps to build it up lap by lap until the car tries to kill you! Used this to get the hang of the Sauber and the Yellowbird. Can't adjust it on the F40 though.
Click to expand...
I believe you can only adjust Turbo boost on the fly if the real life vehicle allows it (has a knob or switch something). There is a chance that statement is wrong, but I swore that's what I discovered. Do console users have the ability to adjust Brake Bias on the fly in some cars? I find that to be a fantastic ability. I have it mapped to the (+ / -) buttons on my DFGT.

Click to expand...
I've learned that whenever I start a new car/track combination - whether I am in race mode, practice, hot lap, online multiplayer or track day mode, I must press my brake pedal to the floor if I expect my brake pedal to provide a progressive amount of braking power when the car is in motion. If I forget to do that and I start driving, the lightest touch of the brake pedal will lock up my brakes. If I only press the brake pedal half-way before I put the car in gear and start driving (with a new car/track combo), when I go to use my brakes I will get 100% lock up once I press the pedal halfway down.

It's a bizarre phenomenon, but one I've learned to deal with easily enough. I also do it with my gas pedal because it will change the tiny red indicator above the gas pedal bar on the pedal app to green. I don't think console users have the pedal app and that is an absolute travesty. Someone who has the console version should go to the official forums and request that you're given the Pedal App that PC users have. It's arguably the most important indicator to look at in replays if you're trying to analyze your driving, or help someone who's struggling with their driving.

Doesn't sound like there's any telemetry of any kind on console thus far. Not ideal.
 
There are no apps on console, unfortunately. I don't see app support coming in an update either (or maybe only Kunos' own apps at most).
 
@ALB123 My G29 doesn't do that. My DFGT did in GT5/6 but the G29 doesn't. It seems to be braking normally in AC to me, it was just a feeling I had together with reading about Thrustmaster wheels doing the push the pedal down thing that I decided to try it. It makes non ABS braking practical for me now, but it's also made me faster with ABS brakes as well. Before the Alien AI was giving me a fight with road cars now It's no longer fast enough.

Is there a brake gamma setting in the console version? If so, adjusting that helps with no ABS braking as well.

Best place to practice heel and toe is real car :) You are good on real car, it will be easier to adapt and be good on games. I already used to heel & toe on real car after a few learning lesson by my old man, when I tried it first time in game ( Sega F355 Challenge with H shifter ), I was already familiar and felt second nature even on 1st downshift while braking. Newer games with better wheel/pedal should make things much easier :)

I didn't find my IRL experience helped me much. The placement of the pedals is so critical it just didn't work as well virtually as IRL. Of course all IRL and gaming pedal quality and placement vary widely. (various IRL performance cars over the years, only somewhat recently have had Fanatec CSR Elite and TM T3PA).

My example was Sega F355 which had optimized placement for heel & toe. The pedal were replica of F355 Challenge, quite sturdy, weighty ( especially the brakes was one of the best for no assist braking ) and hard to slip. I haven't tried newer top of the range wheel yet, but they were more like toy ( G27, DFGT that I have tried ) compared to Sega F355 pedals.

Same here, I heel/toe in my real car everyday and have for many years but I still struggle with it on my rig for some reason.

Sounds like a lot of things are missing. The brake gamma adjustment really helps with no ABS braking as it changes the force curve from strictly linear to curved.

I was struggling not to lock up the brakes on every car I tried last night, I've one adjuster on my pedals and one on my board and in the end it got a little easier but not much.

I think I read somewhere that Stefano doesn't want to add in a brake pressure adjuster because people can exploit one somehow, not sure how though.

Yes i think we need a brake pressure adjustment in tuning, also we need a telemetry app too.

He's simply wary of taking too much of the skill away from braking if I recall.

I don't know about that though, someone who doesn't use ABS generally needs different brake pressure to someone who does, it's fairly simple.
I'd be more concerned about the dreaded racing line taking the skill out of braking.

Without outside peripheral adjustment I'd have had to turn ABS on last night for the first time in years.

Not having a go at you btw, just thinking out loud.

His reasoning for not adding brake pressure adjustment is because he thinks people will use it in a way that will allow them to have perfect trail braking with full pedal depression (without locking up) which he thinks would be cheating. I don't really agree with that, but it's his game so he makes the rules.

I don't agree with that either now that you put it like that. It's just a tuning technique when you think about it.
It's what you'd do in the real world if your race car had no ABS.
I like the way he's trying to keep things fair though.

Does he follow real Motorsport? A lot of race cars you can adjust brake pressure, the whole point of tuning a car well in a game or real life is the fact you can exploit it over your rivals to get an edge, that's Motorsport folks.

Agree for race cars, no for road cars same as steering wheel adjustment. In a road car you just have to put up with whatever is given to you.
Race cars, yeap you should be able to adjust all that
 
I can't play this anymore because my T300 has died. It seems the shop I bought it from sells the wheel anymore, but it should be in warranty. What should I do?

Some race cars do but not all of them. Like I said I don't really agree with that claim/decision, other sims have it as an option and as far as I know it's not an issue with any of those. It's been discussed at length in multiple threads on the AC forums but I don't get the impression he's going to budge on it any time soon. I used to have issue with some cars locking up too easily and wanted it as an option but over the last couple updates something has improved to where I don't have those issues anymore so I don't worry about it now.

It's the shop's problem to honor the warranty they provided when selling you the product. Start there.
