Gas Pedal Not Calibrated Correctly?

I am having an issue with my T300RS pedals. It seems that the first 80% of the throttle IRL only registers to about 50% throttle in game and the last 20% of the throttle IRL controls the last 50% in game. Also it seems that the last maybe 5% of my throttle IRL still means 100% throttle in game. So if I let off my pedal ever so slightly it still is showing as full throttle in game. This makes it very hard to "slightly" let off the gas as if I let off a bit too much, I'm already down to half throttle but if I don't let off enough, it doesn't even register in the game.

Is this how it is for everyone? Or is this an issue with my pedals only and I have to mess around with the insides? Is there a more sophisticated menu for calibration that I'm not seeing somewhere?

Thanks.
 
I've mentioned it a couple times and at least one other person acknowledged it so it's not just you. My T500RS does this.

I'm actually in the process of throwing together a short video illustrating the point. Should be up soon. Hopefully word gets to Polyphony and they can fix it as I can't imagine it's supposed to be like that (if it is, I think I want my money back...).
 
Also missing the wheel,break and clutch setting (in my case) for the T500RS like i'm used to set now with Project Cars. Also the automatic choice (in the game) of gear shifter for the car (Stick or Pedals), my Thrustmaster shifter doesn't work at all in the game. Same for the forcefeedback and response settings of the wheel. I thought that after all these years they had done it better then the last GT versions, but the settings are still the same and not improved. I hope this will be corrected asap with an update. Like the wheel speedsettings, whether i set it to -2 or 7 i don't feel much difference.
Am i the only one who experiences this?

Wheel speed only pertains to controller use.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one. Though I find it a bit hard to believe we are the only ones with this issue.

Out of interest do you see the same issue when you switch your T300RS to PS3 mode? I know other T300 owners are reporting that the force feed back strength setting is significantly reduced when operating in PS3 mode, is it possible it also has a positive affect on throttle calibration too?

I have not tried that as if it is in PS3 mode half of the buttons do not work. I can try it though just to see if the pedals have the same problem... Stand by...
 
I also noticed this on my G29. Not only that, because I removed the stupid brake pedal damper, the brake pedal isn't right of course. I get full brake force with like 50% pedal travel lol

I can't believe they don't have a calibration option in this.
 
I have to say that I'm struggling a lot in particular with braking with my t500RS pedals, I had to remove the brake mod in order to have a better braking, sometimes it was not applying the same pressure with the same car, pretty strange feeling.
pCars 2 allowed me to fix using calibration, but here I tried the trick to longo press the pedal at game start, but no luck
 
I’m having the opposite problem on my t80. I’m locking up the brakes at the slightest depress of the brake pedal. Getting a good, linear feel for the brakes is impossible and forcing me to rely on abs to save my rear... gas pedal is the same. It’s like an on/off switch, which meant driving that stupid civic on brand hatch was an exercise in futility. Is there a wheel adjustment setting? I explored but found nothing for the wheels.
Ultimately I would like 100% throttle to match the real life pedal. Same with brakes. Lock up at least at 80% pedal range, if not 100%.

Try depressing the pedal fully while in the menu or otherwise before a race. I know some games need you to execute the full range of motion to calibrate. The wheel does this automatically when it connects but the pedals have to be done manually.

I don't know if this is the case with GT Sport as I've just gotten in the habit of doing this all the time regardless.

It's not uncommon for brakes to have the kind of curve we're seeing with the gas pedal but what you're describing sounds like it's an inverted curve- extra sensitive at the start, tapering off at the end. Hard for me to tell with the load cell brake I use...
 
I’m using a controller, and this is one of the things stopping me from buying the game. The last few GT games have had this where the accelerator isn’t linear, which makes it very difficult to modulate it in between the 50-100% range. Such a simple issue, but it hasn’t been fixed in years. Still the same in GT Sport it seems
 
I wondered if I was suffering from this as I sometimes lose the car under acceleration out of corners. Unfortunately it seems I just have a lead foot as the throttle position displayed on screen matches what I do with the pedal (G29). if we can figure the pinout of the pedal connector we should be able to compare the resistance for the throttle and see if its a hardware thing.
 
I noticed this non-linearity in the beta and I thought this will be reported and solved.....NOT!
And if anyone asks, it's a GTS problem....it seems to treat the pedals as dualshock joysticks (where you want a lot of almost-deadzone???). I have no other explanation for this kind of "development". In GT6 (granted, PS3 mode) it works as expected. I also think I tried PCars on PS4, but I'm not sure. Have not tried any PC yet.

I also noticed that at low speeds the "autoclutch" will not re-engage under 50% throttle...combined with 80%=50% ingame, spin recovery (with powerful cars with TC=0) and drifts are murder.

It's actually the opposite of what you said at the end. It's not sensitive at the start but very sensitive at the end. Also, putting it in PS3 mode does not help.

Has anyone found a solution to this?

Im running T500rs pedal set and experience the same issue and I have found not a solution but a work around that works well for me.
I use a shock absorber / damper that is used to stop fast moving pneumatic cylinders in automated assembly and a stress ball placed in behind the accelerator pedal. Now this doesn't change anything with the calibration but gives greater resistance the further the pedal is pressed and works well for me. I can upload a photo when I get home if requested.
