Brakes too weak

[Glonek]

Hey guys,



I just got the game and hopped into a private online lobby with af riend just to figure out that brakes aren't working properly.

I am driving in China with ABS on and can't decelerate nowhere near as well as in the previous game.

I have the racing line turned on and I have to brake way in the green area to brake the car accordingly.

The brake pressure makes no difference at all. I have to break way earlier than the racing line suggests bo matter if I run with 80% or 100% brake pressure.

Are any of you guys experiencing the same behaviour and if so do you know how it can be fixed?

What controller are you using?

On my G920 wheel/pedals I noticed that pushing the brakes right down only hit 80% without upping the saturation in the control config menus.

If your set up is similar it might be worth a look

i think this is normal... is it about new phisics... =)

I am having the same issue with an xbox one controller.

You need to start breaking earlier with ABS on which I find it meaningless to be honest. I think they wanted to increase the different between abs on and off.

I read somewhere that unlike every other F1 game using assists will slow you down this year. So you might have to play on Elite controls.

I guess it's about new physics, new cars and assists are working different...

I have ABS turned off and i'm experiencing this aswell. I need to brake in the green but it doesnt seem to impact my pace.

Brakes are Broken for sure. They don't make any sense at all.

The brakes do seem too weak to me too and I struggle to stop the fronts from locking at anything other than high speeds, even with the brake bias dialled to the rear. It just doesn't feel quite right!

Same here guys!

Lots of adjustments for noobs this year 😁

You don't even have the game....

Brakes are weaker this year, I don't use abs but braking zones are longer than last year and real F1. Coming from iRacing to this and it feels like the brakes don't work, I adjusted my brake pedal load cell but that didn't really help.

yeah, you have to break a bit earlier, but I realized, that the AI is also affected. So it's not less fair. But they really have to fix the dynamic racing line. It is completely broken for some corners. You have to break way before it turns red after the long straight in china.
This is horrible for any new players. they break, when they should to, but they allways go wide or too deep. that is a bad thing.

Why do you even have the racing line on? How are you suppose to learn the track the proper way? Develop your own racing lines, look at the pace you're carrying through corners...same goes for breaking zones and the pressure to use......find your own limit, that's the point of learning a track and what your car can handle.
