Remember when inverting your pedals was all the rage a decade ago? Do you like your pedals inverted so they hang down, GT orientation on T500rs? Or do you like the F1 orientation, where the pedals a flat mounted? When I got my T500 early in it’s release, I can’t recall whether or not I preferred them inverted or down. I may have went with inverted simply because this was a big deal back then. I don’t think it’s as popular now ? Why not?
What do you or others you know dislike about inverted?
Normally, this is as easy as flipping the pedals around and pressing a couple of buttons. But, my pedals are oddly mounted to the Obutto pedal plate. I’m thinking about switching them to the F1 orientation. I don’t know how this will be an improvement or hindrance. I haven’t raced in my Ozone since GT5 & GT6. I used a controller for GTS. I was too lazy to take the 10-20 minutes to rearrange my Man Cave to race. So, I just grabbed the DS4 and used Motion Control for steering.
Fast forward to GT7 and now I’m 52 and WAY out of racing shape! I’d like to be able to just pivot my right foot for the accelerator and rest my left foot on the brake pedal, while maintaining heel contact with the plate. If I move the seat a click or two forward too far, the front of my right ankle will hurt. To keep my left foot comfortable, I Am comfortable using my toes to push the accelerator pedal, much like a real car. But, I have to “put some leg into it” to go full throttle. The way my pedals are set up right now, the “throw” for full brake is at its lowest setting. I am also no longer using the “Realistic brake mod”. I was getting a sore foot because I was braking with the left edge of my left foot. So, I decided to use my cheap driving shoes. With don’t fit my feet perfectly. I tried other shoes. When going full throttle, this causes my foot to slide forward in the shoe. I just can’t get comfortable and I’m hoping that flipping the pedal orientation will bring some comfort. I would love to race in just my socks. The diamond plate is not very friendly to a foot that is being slid across it.
I am also playing with the tilt of the pedal plate. If I put too much angle in it though, the front of my left ankle will surely get sore!
I have nightmares of when I had the PlaySeat. The pedal tray had no adjustment and left me in pain after long gaming sessions. It was hard to walk at times!
