Yeah after running the new settings I’m finding its making a big difference. Adjusting the muscle memory on the brake pedal been the big challenge but I’m finding that I can trail braking some corners. Hopefully I with the new settings I can cut out another half a second.
Just wanted to highlight this post. I really like the G29 overall in Gran Turismo 7 except…
The break pedal. I know I’m not breaking news here, but for all the complaints about the G29 pedal (squishy feel, lack of load cell, etc) I don’t often see the actual impact in terms of racing and lap times described. The brake pedal, as is, makes trail braking incredibly difficult to do with any consistency. Getting the right amount of lift off the pedal as you turn in is very hard to feel. You have to memorize what amounts to a tiny amount of travel, rather than the feel of pressure resistance you typically use driving. I think I’m doing it the exact same as I did the prior corner, but get a very different result.
As this poster said, through some trial and error with the calibration found that, while it’s still not remotely comparable to true load cell pedals, and still difficult to nail consistently, bumping the brake calibration max to 95% significantly improves trail braking with that pedal set.
Having the pedal pressed down hard enough that you’re really pushing into the internal rubber stopper, somewhat replicates the feel of load cell pressure resistance as you begin to lift. When the max is set at the default 60%, you’re still at 100% braking force well past the point where you can really feel that rubber stop pushing back. Hope that makes some sense!
Trade off of course being that you now have to brake much harder for standard straight line stopping than before, so it probably isn’t a change to make unless you use trail braking.
