Brakes fail to often

I know what early Access is but why should i turn off failures and damage then i could just bash my way around the track without trying not to hit anything not what a simulation is about.

 

I have the exact same problem with the V8. 5 laps round brands hatch and the brakes failed.

 

I will just tune off mech damage for know

But it's clearly something that the devs need to look at for upcoming patches as it seems a fair few people are having this issue and extremely often

I'm glad I posted this here now as I thought it was just me but its obviously something that needs work before the full release

 

I've thought this same thing before, watch a real car braking heavily and they often have tyre squeal, but it's only because different parts of the tyres are breaking grip at different times, such as the track not being perfectly smooth which it never is, or as the suspension loads up. But the tyre squeal doesn't necessarily mean the wheels are locked up. In game I'm rarely getting lock-ups, mostly due to lowering brake pressure way below the default value, but the sound gives false indications.

 

Same track, sunny, default setup. Did 18 laps. Never driven there before so first few laps were conservative. Braking at the 100m boards after a few laps. Started to get brake fade on lap 7. Went conservative a brakes for a couple of laps but they didn't come back. Tried going a bit deeper on the brakes and they come back. Crew Chief always reported brake temps good on front straight. Yeah, so lots of brake management required. I'm sure if I played with the setup and bias I could have optimised the brakes more. Lap times: 1:25.xxx

 

Yeah i adjusted the bias on the fly from front then mid and rear did not make any change, well it did change which one overheated lol

 

What you looking for then, 100% super brakes that you don't have to manage? A bit like Pit Stop 2 on the C64?

Paul, the 90s sim racing scene just called, it wants you back!

 

every time in the Pas classic b, The very first corner at brands hatch, I brake and the game tells me there's severe damage and crew chief says my brakes are toast. That's corner one of lap one.

 

That's a known bug, the Pas is broken and even pitting won't fix it.

 

Same here. Ran various cars around brands hatch, problem free. thank you.
