Possible Bug - Brutus Brakes Overheating Constantly

[Navala]

I just tested the new Brutus in 2H mode, My front brakes while barely using them are constantly smoking. I jumped in my Tronko to see if I was using the brakes too much, and they didn't even get past halfway to smoking. I think the Brutus Front Brakes are bugged out.

I had the same issue. Seems to be a glitch. Respawned it at a parking space and it stopped.
I have heard it can start doing it again, but so far it hasn't come back for me.

It can happen to other vehicles as well. Hopefully it gets patched soon, as it also causes the brake pads to wear quickly as well when it happens.

have this Problem with my Titan and all the available Trailers.
Always the Trailer Brakes and Titans Front Brakes get literally abused the entire time. And im not even braking that much. :(
Really expensive nowadays to be be a Trucker..
Please, give the Trucks, Truck Brakes and not these Bicycle brakes. :(

Maybe it would also help if we could adjust the Strength of every Brake individually.
Like, Front Brakes only 100% Strength and all the back Brakes sitting at 200%.. maybe that way it would atleast be equal.
But right now, i can change the Front Brakes almost every 250-500Km

tried doing this. But makes no difference for me.
Also, i dont even know how this Works.
I press the assigned Key, but i cant hear anything, nor do i feel a difference and i cant see anything. To me its just.. pressing a Button and all stays the same. Im not even sure if it really works ingame for me.

That being said, whats probably important for many of us.
Does the Autopilot use Jake Braking/Brakes?

when you enable it you will hear a rumble on deceleration, if you set yourself up before a descent in low gear and jake on you should only need to tap the brakes occasionally.
from what i have seen the autopilot doesnt know it exists and will roast your brakes

i see.
An indicator like we have for blinking or ESC ect. would be nice nonetheless.
Thank you for the response, have to try it the next time im driving a Truck :)
