Yes; I foresee a lot of OCD chopping and changing in my future !need to juggle alot with pressure sensitivity and attachments to find that sweet spot from info in vid !

Read somewhere on the fanatec forum that it will get softer over time... 🤔. Got mine today. Will install later and see how it goes.
Try that mod I suggested earlier. It makes a big difference. I don’t see how muscle memory can be trained to modulate pressure against a solid object. No way I could use the load cell as it wasHow did it go mate? Started setting up my stand, with gt Pro dd wheel/peddles last night. Also upgraded to the load cell, but wondering if worth using it or sticking with the standard brake pedal instead.
No muscle memory to detrain as such as this is my first setup in 10 years or so.
But first impressions are that tge load cell seems insanely stiff/resistant. But understand it reads pressure rather than distance.
In two minds if to bother using load cell??

Refund if you can ASAP, it's not worth the hassle
I found the first pedal too floppy, but I was able to modulate it better than the zero travel of the LC. I completely understand your reticence to mod it. I was exactly the same and was very anxious about it; I’m hopeless at that sort of thing. But it was a nothing to lose sort of thing after two days of frustration. I knew worst case I could easily put the old pedal back and returning the LC I knew was going to be more stressful than trying to fix it. Fanatec could barely send it to me without endless issues, sending it back with all the return fees and dealing with their hopeless communication I’d rather swallow the loss tbh.Cheers niknak (very amusing profile pic name BTW ).
I'm pretty clueless/unhandy, so concerned I may break it doing that, or get stuck in 'no mans land' with both peddles not working correctly...
May give them both a go. Did you find standard brake pedal OK, or too floppy?
I'm not overly particularly in all honesty, so will probably be happy using standard peddle in its original form v risk of messing up both peddles and having to buy another one.

The mod was incredibly easy honestly. I did it with just my hands. Getting it out was easy, getting it back in was harder but only because I didn’t know how to best do it, now I know I’d have no issue doing it again if needed. Let me know if you want to try and I’ll help you with a little step by step
So I received the hybrid mod kit from 3drap yesterday. Decent travel on the load cell now, it's firm and gets progressively stiffer. Thoroughly recommend it if you find the LC way too stiff.
The hybrid is 1 linear + 1 progressive elastomer. You can use one of them or both (hybrid) depending on preference.Which one out of interest... appears several options for this mod? Does it come with instructions and assume easy for non handy types
Got mine like this.View attachment 1130783
This is me.Getting a bit fussy I know, but how far apart do you guys put your pedals?
Out the box they're almost as far apart as is possible. What kind of spacing realistic/'best'?
I'm not planning on using 3, just the 2.
This is me.
