Front / Rear brake gain

Simple question: what's that ?

Sometimes, when something just feels good. You don`t need to question it...just enjoy it...

HornetMaX

I don't question it, but I don't know what it is / does.

I think he upped the gain on all 3 levers a bit more. They all bite a bit more over the complete range and feel much more progressive. First i always felt like i was riding with fading brakes or something...

HornetMaX

No, I mean in the input settings, there's now a gain slider (active only on front and rear brake).

I don't know what it is/does as it does not corresponds to anything I know of on a real bike (which is consistent with the fact it is situated in the inputs settings and not in the garage).

Maybe a slider to adjust the progressiveness of the brakes?

if i remember right: if you set gain to 50% and you break as hard as you can, you only have half of the bar activated on maxHUD

Yes and on the calibration screen

I can't double check but I can easily trust you on this.

But I don't get it, what would be the real life equivalent of this ?!

Its solved my gear down change issue setting the rear brake at 50 % gain I push the pedal the same distance as before but  only get half the input travel.
So I am not reaching the point were It stops me from changing down.This can't be what it was designed to do ?

it think this feature was implemented for people like me that has the rear brake (for example) in a "normal" button in the pad. for example i have the rear brake in R1 of my ps3 controller. Before this feature in small categories like 125 using the brake was imposible, now i can use it perfectly.
for the sifting down, for me this doesn't solve it, i continue having that problem while braking

Ian

If you have a steering wheel use the pedals

Changing the linkage or pedal position maybe

There is no real life equivalent.
Gain is meant to be used with values under 100% for those using a digital control, and over 100% in the hypothetical case of a brake control harder than the real one.

If there was rl equivalent it would have to be found under garage setup.   ;)

Very nice addition this feature, I was wishing for that feature for a long time. On most tracks I do not use 100% braking power, so with this feature I might improve the efficiency of braking. Still experimenting with it though.

Btw Piboso, would it be possible to invert the non-linearity settings in the control settings setup? Atm, it is progressive - I would like to try it with degressive, in order to maybe have a better feel for the brake when nearing the brake maximum. This could be useful to compensate for having no force feedback with current controllers, whereas irl I feel feedback from my brake lever.
