1.9.22 Braking Intensity is TOOO LOW..!!!

[VeNn]

Is there somehow a way to increase the braking intensity from outside the game because my ingame braking intensity is full and i want it harder than that. It takes a while to come to a complete hault. The brakes were all good before the patch 1.9.
Any help wud be appreciated.

Options, > Gameplay :) 4th option down is a slider for braing intensity :P use trial and error to find where you like it.

[MichaelF]

he said he had it at full, hard too read for seom people here

[Mr Dollarydoo]

It also depends on your truck, and what kind of load youre carrying.

Try finding a mod to increase the breaking power if you believe its too low for you..

The Braking itensity is too low even without a load.

So i guess i'll have to find some mod to increase it.!!

First off folks, real world truck brakes will NEVER stop a bobtail on a dime. Let alone a fully loaded semi/truck. Newton's first law. That is why so many 4 wheelers get their trunks pushed up inside their back seats. Because no truck in the world can stop as fast as a 4 wheeler. This is a SIMULATOR. Not some high tech geek machine that has fantasy writen all over it. You have to plan your stops, begin stopping long before you would in a 4 wheeler. If you think it's bad in stock mode, try real world physic's. That should scare the bejesus out of you. LOL AND NEVER THINK A REAL WORLD TRUCK CAN STOP THAT FAST, YOU WOULDN'T LIKELY SURVIVE THE ATTEMPT!

this game is pretty fake though cause if you did slam on your brakes on a brand new truck you would screech down the road and leave rubber on the pavement

I Agree but the brakes were much harder in the previous patch than 1.9.
I guess its because of the new physics introduced by the SCS.

What kind of controler do you use? I have brake intensity less then halfway up and have no problems to stop using a G27 wheel.

I noticed it too VeNn, had to turn it up and take it easy.

I use a Genius Speed Wheel 5 PRO and it has no software to calibrate it for the game. Ingame settings is all what you have unlike the logitech.
Planning to buy Driving Force GT soon.

Ya i guess i'll have to do the same.

Yea, I was thinking in the line of some saturation setting on the brakepedal you could look at, but no luck then. Keep a good distance to cars and use the enginebrake to help slow down, it helps..

Yeah, it's a truck, not a Ferrari. Increase your following distances to proper length, and learn the timing that a truck takes. Many real world truck drivers even with experience still get in trouble if a car cuts them off or weather goes bad - there are no guarantees that you will always be able to stop in time.

The new wheel you're getting will give you more control, but it's still a huge truck and it needs to be driven as such.

Ya i'll try that!!

@ThogmarJones
Ya i know its not a ferrari but i think the brakes are still low as compared to a real life truck!!
Anyways I'll get use to it and learn to drive that way!
