DRS not working

[rueron]

3 weeks ago i used the formula reiza with official and 3th party tracks (supporting DRS).
Everything worked fine. The DRS was available in qualifying and after two laps in race sessions.
Now, i am a bit confused because i was not able to get the DRS working instead of the right messages in the left corner of my screen as "DRS available", "DRS activated" etc. When i push the DRS Button on my wheel it says "DRS is activated" but there is no effect on my Vmax and according to the replay the wing does not open at my car anymore.

I changed the car to the new formula ultima and switched to a official DRS-Reiza track (Hockenheim) but it still was the same. DRS detection zones and the messages in the down left corner of my screen appear. The crazy thing is that the AI is using the DRS without any problems after two laps in race.....is this a bug or something like a "hardcore" feature :-)

I dont know if its a problem at my end or whether it is a bug which was implemented with the last update. i am confused somehow?
I even activated the respective car class (Formula Reiza or Formula Ultima) in the menue and did not use "All Cars & All Tracks" Option.

Please help me...

i solved the problem it was no bug caused by an update!!!!
my brake was a little bit nervous and the game recognized always a tiny bit of braking which hindered the DRS activation. logically using the brake closes the rear wing instantly. my bad and i found it out after a complete clean installation of automobilista. when i had still the same issue i had a look into the controller settings the where you can assign different axis and buttons in the game. i recognized the nervous brake going a little way up and down wihout pushing the pedal.
i adjusted the threshold using DXTweak and now it is working fine.

Sorry for that

I have the same problem. How did you use DXTweak to solve it? What values did you enter for the brake? Thanks for your help

[hurricaneman]

Anyone can help me with the values? Thank you!!

Do the in game sliders to adjust deadzone not help?

[hurricaneman]

Yes, puting some degree of deadzone fixed the problem. Thank you Manwith Noname

Does anyone have an idea how to search the INPUTS list for Buttons #s or Text when assigning buttons ? this seems archaic at best to scroll and search visually ... what am I missing ? The list does not appear in any particluar order either - not that that woul dhelp.

That the game engine is about 25 years old?
