Braking weird or am I just bad still?

[CrescendoFuri]

So I want to preface this a little with some background knowledge and context. I'm fairly new to sim racing, most of my time is not even racing in AC, just some hotlaps and enjoying the view. MP in that scares me and I have no idea how it really works overall. This game though, I enjoy the "get car, upgrade, collect", and horizon was kinda boring for me in the long run. I'm wanting to get better at these and this game is fairly accessible, cuz yay game pass.

I've turned off practically every assist aside from track markers, since I don't want them to become a crutch in the future. I have a G923 with the more workable settings by hoshi, etc.
Although it feels like I can barely push on the brake, at most..ten percent before I start locking up. I'm not even being quick with them, if I go at the same speed in AC, I can slowly press down the entire way.

So I want to know, is this more FM wheel jank, just a forza thing in general, or am I really still just kinda bad?
For reference most of the driving was done on the STI you can start with.

I also chose the STI. And I think it will just take time to get used to. Why does this vehicle brake some damn fast without in-game abs? No idea. Nothing really feels right. On the bright side, I did figure out how to make this game's clutch work!

When you realise they did not even bother to implement wipers in rainy condition, you should not be surprised by anything really.

At this point I do not even consider this as an alpha in early access, thanks god it is included in gamepass...

The wipers are there....

If I recall from past games with cretin controllers the axes get set dynamically as you drive. I would start an event and as soon as the green light hit slam the break all the way down a few times then restart the event. This would set the axis range of movement in the game. I would have to to this each time I quit the game and came back. It's a PITA but it used to work for me.

Adjust the deadzones. The default settings are not good even for a controller and worse for a wheel.

Yep I just figured out that if you start a wet session in freeplay/test drive you just do not get them, for a race it's there though. Just logged a bug... I feel it is not going to be the last...

Adjust brake pressure in car tuning, 80-85% works much better.

Check the car setting if something feels off.

Brake pressure means, you have a larger way to press until full brake pressure applies.

Standard is 100%, which is weird. So the way the brake pedal needs to be pressed is very short.

Reduce it :)

Thank you all so much. I thought I was going crazy or just, being shown even more I am not good at wheel racing yet.

That's not how it works. 85% pressure means you have less braking power which will, ultimately, making you lose time. The thing you describe (and what the author would need) is brake linearity which we do not have as an option in-game, you could work that out with Steam Input (or whatever software comes with your equipment) though by adjusting the response curve.

So long as the g27 locks up before 100%, mine does, then this is a good enough solution

Take a look at the tooltip of the tuning setting for brake pressure. It's mentioned there. =)

weird, I''ve definitely got functioning wipers in rainy conditions in game. There is even a slightly audible thump as they go back and forth.

The rain droplets on the windshield also get pushed the windshield by the wind.
