    Well, what is the indicated entry speed into the T2 spielger for the Ams2 ginetta 55?

    I just adjusted the brake pedals on my t3pa. Has anyone ever used the squash ball hack? Well, i cut my squash ball in half so I don’t have to jam the pedal with unholy force (mainly for ACC, which has traction control), anyway, I lost all feel for the brakes in AMS2, hate every significant braking zone and I wish there was a drag racing strip in AMS2 because im pretty good at paddle shifting if I can say so myself.

    I also have the T3PA pedals and don't seem to get a real feeling for the brakes. Like you, I have the rubber cone mod but didn't cut the cone. In AMS2 I never reach the point where the brake pedal hits the rubber cone. Maybe I have to change some settings with the brake pedal setup. So far, it all is in default.

    T3PA here too, modified with loadcell from Loadcellmod.com, 10kg version, works very good, recommend it. Only 2-3 mm pedal travel!

    Yeah, the brake calibration is a little off. You hit 100% in game way before you reach 100% with the pedal. Perhaps we can game the system using the calibration, just not press so far down, idk. I reduced the brake sensitivity to 0, and that seems to have helped a little.

    I used the cone at first, and found a similar experience as you described. I could not stand the fact that there was no resistance at the top end and then a lot of resistance at the bottom. The squash ball fits right in there and adds a gradual resistance. Plus, 3 are like $11 bucks. It was fine for AMS2, but like I said, I cut it in half for ACC and now AMS2 acts as if 100% brake is somewhere around 75% in actual brake application.

    I was doing some testing at interlagos in a sprint car today and I had to laugh because after turn one I glanced at the rearview and all I saw was a chemtrail of white smoke winding up the hill.

    Loadcells sound great but come on...11 bucks!

    Following up on this. I decreased the sensitivity to 0 and deadzone to 0. Seems to have helped with the t3pa. If you swtich your UI to the tire temp on, at the bottom (on my screen) is a pedal app. It appears the t3pa has a built in deadzone as well.

    I use the Fanatec CSL LC pedals and I dont really have a problem with the braking at all.

    Corners I hate...

    1. Bathurst - Skyline
    2. Spielberg 74 - Bosch Curve
    3. Brands Hatch - Surtees

    I have not figured out how to apex either 2 or 3 yet... Skyline is just a devil of a corner.

    InfVort bringing this thread back on to the rails...

    How dare ye who doth criticize mighty mount panorama!
    The trick to skyline is to hit the gas!! If you're airborne its not technically a corner cut...right?

    Turns I hate...
    The last corner at cascavel. The agony of ruining a near perfect TT lap on the last corner.
    Turn one at Donington GP, i can never get the momentum right. (although I just changed my FOV so watch out leaderboards!)
    The last sector of turns at VIR. I feel like I'm going into the woods so I either over-brake or go into the woods.
    Cadwell park. ALL. It seems like a kart track to me and judging by the starting markers, it is.

    Somehow the last corner always become the most difficult when you’re in time trial mode...

    I finally was able to give this a try. You was correct, the brakes feel much better now. Tested it on the G55 and I finally had a good feeling with the brakes.
