My Logitech Momo (Black FFB) pedals suck, the wheel is fine (except for the lack of ffb in RBR, but FFB works in other sims). As for the pedals - the brakes lock up at the slightest touch. I've played around a bit with the filter settings but just can't get the lock up problem to go away. I don't understand the filter settings and the proper way to adjust them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Smile

Yeah, i had a similar problem i think. After i fixed my accelerator, which had the spiking problem, i noticed the brakes were way too sensitive. However, they didn't cause me to lock up alot.

What i found was that even with literally a small breeze through my room, somehow the brakes got a tiny bit of pressure. Pretty much half a millimeter of pressure and it started to brake.

The solution was simple as abc, deadzone 50% and if needed, lower the sensitivity. But the deadzone was all i needed. 50% sounds alot, but its nothing, it made them perfect.

So basically just try that =)

But, have you tried calibrating the controller? That is also a largely possible issue, the brakes may have no calibration.

I just went to the ECCI pedals and now I have no problems.

The only thing is my solution was ~$350. When I can justify it I will go ahead and get the ECCI wheel also, but that is another $1000. Still cheaper than real racing :)

In RBR the deadzone is adjusted where? In the filter section? Is it the graph called Curvature? I don't see anything else that could possibly be related to the deadzone.

I can't load the game right now (wrong PC) to look at the interface, but I think there is a brake pressure adjustment - lower that, especially on soft surfaces. The curvature will also help, making the brake less effective at small inputs.

Also, what do you mean FF doesn't work? You are getting no feedback at all? That would be a shame, RBR has the best FF of any game I have ever played.

I may be getting the brakes a bit better, still playing with the various settings.

As for FF - it is barely noticable, and I have it set to full on in the game and in windoze game controllers it's at 150%. FF works fine in all other sims - just not in RBR. I don't normally use FF but would like to experience it in RBR, since I've had the game since it first came out and have never gotten FF with any of the 3 wheels I've had (all Logicrap, erh, Logitech). The wheel I have now is the black Momo FF.
I've tried with and without the Wheelman/Profiler software, no difference.

Thanks for the link, I'll try those suggestions, though they don't effect the brakes. I think I've done about all I can to keep the brakes from locking up so bad. Any changes to the profiler have no effect during online racing since the game isn't started from the profiler, I believe.
