This is far from a new topic with GT7, I’ve searched quite a bit for more info and possible fix’s with no luck. If there is something I’ve missed please point me in the right way.
Since I’ve found nothing, and it drives me nuts having 2” travel in the pedal and only able to use maybe 3/4” for nearly the entire throttle band, I thought I would tackle making a custom response curve for my pedal set to offset the strikingly bad progressive curve in GT7. The results are very nice after just a couple hours of tweaking.
I recently upgraded to the Logitech RS Pedals and using the G-Hub software on my PC, I made a custom curve where all the inputs actually match (or darn close, just needs a little more fine tuning).
I’ve gotta say it takes a little getting used to after years of driving with standard in game curve, but if anybody is interested in the data points for it, let me know and I’ll find a way to post them once I get it dialed in just a little more. Of course you’ll need a pc and pedal software that allows custom response curves to try it out. .

I’m very interested. I even had an ai agent try to make a curve for me. I have the Logitech pro pedals. Maybe @LOGI_Rich has some thoughts. He has said before the default should linear.

So I asked Grok to make a curve for me. This is what it came up with. Gonna test later tonight.

I’ve also been looking into the throttle curve for gt7 and found a post on fb where an engineer said race car and indeed road car throttle curves are never linear. He posted a curve that I replicated in Ghub and have so far had very good results with. His was the red curve and you see how I’ve replicated as best I could.

Did they say it’s one curve for race cars and another for road cars?
 
Now I can’t find the fb post to confirm😡 but sure he said both and I took it to also mean modest everyday cars.

Whenever I change my hardware I take a stock NSX 02 around Nords to compare times and I’ve taken 1.4 seconds off my previous best using that curve.

I see the theory in this curve as slightly less throttle initially to help prevent wheel spin but after the first point it ramps up giving more power than a straight line and it feels like riding a wave as it’s even improved my drifting. I’m having so much fun feathering supercar throttles on sports tyres.
