I do not know if this happen because of my new wheel (DFGT) or it has always happened, first of all I am still using DFP pedals with the DFGT. So, sometimes in the 1st turn y hit the brake but there is a delay of activation (no more than a sec) but enough to eat grass, after that, the brake works perfect with no delay. Always happen in the 1st turn, anybody has this problem?
 
Hi! It somehow relates to the calibration of the pedals (or the lack of it). This happens always at the first time when the brake pedal is pressed after the power has been put on. So be sure to press once the brake at the start of standing start races. At flying start races be sure to free run first and wake up the brakes..
-fbk-
p.s. DFGT is a fantastic wheel :)

It is part of my ritual to pump the brake pedal after the option to quit matching has disappeared, even if I know I have calibrated my brake pedal.

so my habit of doing that just to see the brake lights flash would help me.
 
I sometimes get the same thing, so I run all the axis through there full range before a race, just to make sure they calibrate.
 
Same thing happens to me, and once in away my brake peddle sticks mid race for no reason. That is alway fun to deal with! As I need to have max speed!
 
But this issue always happen, I do not remember when I had the DFP, maybe I pressed the brake involuntarily. I have to say that I am faster with the DFGT than DFP, now I can control better cars like Ford GT. Great wheel.
 
Happens to me as well. Very annoying. I forget all the time and go bowling down at turn 1 in online races. I hit the brakes, nothing happens and then shortly after I remember.:banghead::ouch:

So if I hit anyone at turn 1, it's most likely because I've forgotten to pump the brake.
 
I don't have that problem. My wheel is centred perfectly. First time i've ever heard of that happening.
 
I have the same problem with my DFGT, doesn't matter much to me because I usually do some practice laps before hopping into a race. My wheel is also slightly uncentred but that's no problem at all because it's absolutely fine once I start driving.
 
What wheel are you guys using? It is only with the DFGT or also with the G25 and DFP.

This problem never happened to me with DFP. Can´t say anything about G25, I've never tried it, unfortunately.
