Yes I set the brake force to 100% via PC (standard linear curve) and then I have set it to about 4/10 on the wheel which is about 30kg. I also bought the MOZA CRP (?) Brake kit and have changed the elastomers to springs. This made the brake pedal stiffer and more importantly it doesn't get mushy after a long session which is what I found with the elastomers. FYI the MOZA kit has much stiffer springs but then my office chair flexes back (I have the Next Level Racing Stand 2.0). So until I get a full cockpit I am happy with this amount of force and sensitivity.
Good settings to begin with. I'm up to 65% at the moment and test my brake strength using the calibration in GT7 (I get into that later in my reply)
I've used the Next Level Racing Wheel Stand (1.0) and loved it. Used it on the couch! I did get the GT Racer (1.0) and love it. Feel free to drop hints if you can for a birthday present.
If I recall I have a non-linear curve for the accelerator. But like you said: rather than endlessly tweak it, I have set it once and now am training my muscle memory.
Good call!
I still have the issue that the last couple of mm/degrees of the accelerator are not picked up by GT7. You can try it: put it the floor in neutral and then every so slightly lift and quickly press it back down - there will be no change in game.
If I
understand what you're doing, consider going into the in-game settings and select calibration. I've done that and have put a 1.5% dead spot at the start of my brake (my foot rests there during a race) as well as adjusted the clutch and a slight tweak on the accelerator. It helped me; it may help you. That said, I could be wrong.
How is the RS 50 wheel as an upgrade?
FULL ON ACES. I really love the thing and I'm still getting up to speed with it. That said, I think I'm actually quicker around the track now. I've had the brakes for a while (about 2 months) but the wheel I worked on for a week.
Are you able to feel the weight transfer easier to be able to catch the tail end of the car from stepping out? I guess there's smoother/stronger force and reduced noise but I'm wondering if you actually get more nuanced feedback with the RS 50 or is just an amplification of the G923.
I'm able to catch slides sooooo much easier than before. I drive exclusively in VR and have haptics attached to my rig (Buttkicker & a couple of pucks) but I can tell the sound is far less than it was before. There's more detail in the feel and more detailed communication than before.
Don't get me wrong; the G923 is a great wheel for where it is! It communicates information as well . . . but it's more limited than with the RS50. Because the G923 has about 2.3NM of torque to play with, it has to fit all the information it can in that space. The RS50
not set at peak torque has three times the room for that information. It's why slides are easier to catch in my view.
As an example, I drive for BMW. This past week was Fuji in the Group 4 M4 machine. I already knew I was close to the slowest car in the field, but a week of practice definitely helped quite a bit.
Here's my live stream of the event:
