Why is my truck auto braking!?!?
I recently got a G920 steering wheel, pedals, and h-shifter, and everything was working great until I realized that every time I let off of the accelerator, my truck immediately slams the breaks on and causes me to have to downshift when I just want to coast. I've scoured my settings and the internet and can't find a solution!!!!

I have all auto brake settings off, I do not have combined pedals turned on, dead zones are all adjusted appropriately, and all axis are inverted and not registering inputs in the ATS control menu!

Any help will be appreciated as I was really looking forward to finally playing this game with a wheel and pedals but this is really ruining my day!

at a guess i'd say either exhaust brake or engine brake or both

Did you enable the retarder?

go to controls in game and look at what the bars are doing when you press and release each pedal

As already stated, all deadzones and sensitivity settings have been adjusted already in game

In the Game settings try turning "Automatic Engine Brake" Off. Solved my braking problems. Brake light on the dash kept flickering and staying on and had trouble accelerating. Felt like the brakes were stuck partially on.

I have the "slightly older" G27 and have to invert the brake pedal axis. When released it is at 100% and when kicked to bottom at 0%. Just check in the wheel settings which way it behaves and tick the box for inverting if required.
