pedals not working
I just bought the game and tried setting up all the controls with my logitech wheel and everything works fine but the brake, the game only lets me set the brake as the acceleration pedal and when I press the brake it shows no input.

Make sure you have both accelerator and brake set to "Inverted" in the game settings for the pedals.

Assuming the pedals are identified properly in the Logitech Software?

Do be sure that you have not told the Logitech software to "report combined pedals" or however they phrase it...that option should be unchecked

you need to use your accelrator and clutch instead of using the brake pedal

That is not necessary because the pedals should work fine without needing to do that. It is not a solution to the problem it is just a workaround. Wheels and pedals should work correctly in this game and many players have them working without any problem whatsoever. If there is a problem then there is something wrong and you need to fix it rather than try to come up with a workaround and accept a problem which should not exist.

The basics are:

1. Make sure you download and install the latest Firmware and software for your wheel.
2. Make sure your wheel is plugged directly into your computer using a USB2 port and not a USB3 port unless they are the only ones on your computer and do not use a USB-Hub.
3. Then check that your wheel is calibrated correctly and all things are working on your wheel the way they are supposed to be. You can check the calibration of your wheel by selecting Windows Control Panel and then select View devices and printers and then right click on your wheel and select Game controller settings and then select Properties. There you can check to see whether your wheel functions correctly or not.
4. As mentioned above, in-game make sure your pedals are set to inverted but this depends on what pedals you are using, Logitech and Thrustmaster wheels are set to inverted. However, Fanatec pedals which I use are set to normal.

If you have done all those things which I have mentioned then your wheel and pedals should work in the game and if the problem still exists then you need to post a thread in the forum and ask for help rather than giving a workaround to other players. It is much better to fix the problem than it is to find a workaround to a problem which will still exist.
