GET FASTER NOW! - How to Set Up Sim Racing Pedals THE RIGHT WAY

wow ive been braking all this timewhen i rest my foot... thank will

Love that you're running Asetek's Invicta pedal set Will! 🤠

FYI - For all you Fanatec & Moza folks out there thinking you have the bee's knee's set of sim racing pedals - I highly recommend you go try any of the three offerings Asetek currently has available. You'll thank yourself for doing so immediately after.

Thank you Will for doing this video. I've been out of the sim racing game for over a year. Throat Cancer, Not driving for over a year of course means all my hardware is out dated. This video has helped me get my V3 pedals at least back in line. Having them setup wrong has only meant I'm casing my tail. The Cancer is gone and I've finely physically able to start racing again. You're still the best, Thank you, your #1 USA fan. Wheatjames.

Last week i turned to a linear brake curve and i needed to relearn how to brake becuase i used to use a non linear brake curve.
The positive thing is that now i can module better the brakes so my Trail braking is more stable and faster than my non linear configuration.

Have you reviewed the simagic p2000 pedals? I looked through your videos I didn’t see it in there. Wanted to know your thoughts on them, been considering upgrading to those from my csl elite v1

Such videos are the reason why I am subscribed - thanks man!

Has there been a review by Will on Boosted Media of the brand SimTrec Pro 2 manufactured from billet allow? If not, why not? Please respond to the question

did you ever try the venym atrax pedals set ? If yes, what did yoiu think of it ?

Great video as always. Do you have similar for someone running clubsport v3’s without a fanatec wheel base?

Hi Will

Do you have anything for the thristmaster tlcm calibration? Or any mod recommendations?

Great video! I think it would be nice to have a counterpart that explains how to adjust the brake pressure in the game to make best out of your ability to hover the brake pedal near the 80% mark at will.

Fantastic, thank you!

I don't use my clutch at all. I only use paddles and auto blip in iRacing. Am I doing it all wrong?

can not find it for the V3 fanatec? HELP would love to know it

what are the best wheel, base and pedals for a price of under £1200?

I’ve also got the invicta pedals. I tried your settings and found it just took too much fine braking ability out of it at the cost of a bit less force.

But maybe as you say it just takes some getting used to. At any rate it’s nice to see different perspectives. Keep yo the good work

Awesome video that is spot on. Took deliver of some the Asetek InVicta pedals and clutch yesterday. Upgrade from Fanatec v3’s..

Installed them today and followed your video. You’re quite correct about the change in feel but the consistency allowing for muscle memory development.

Night and day from prior set!

Many thanks!

Great guide Will, thanks! One thing to note regarding curves/profiles is that different sims usually already have different pressure profiles for diffetent inputs for a specific car, which is true in real life cars as well. I believe most sims assume a linear pedal travel in order for an in-sim profile/curve to work as intended. Adjustment is useful ofc when you think the sim got it wrong.

I figured the dead zone adjustment on my own. I was using a car on Gt7 that cut the throttle off as soon as you touched the brakes. It actually took me a second to figure out that I was resting my foot on the brakes and if I’m doing it then I’m likely doing it most times.

It should be noted optimal brake pressure varies depending on the Sim you play. AC and ACC you definitely don't want to calibrate your brakes for 80% but more like 100%. These games give optimal braking and stopping distances by modulating around 100%.

AMS2 and iRacing will give you almost constant lock ups, longer braking distances and flat spotted tyres using this though. They work much better at 80%.

I have a question about one thing. After Calibrating your pedals, does the pedal maps needs to be enabled or it’s a choice between either you calibrate it or use pedal maps. I just got the pedals and wasn’t sure about this.

wow. timing is everything in life. got back into driving about 2 weeks ago. i knew my pedal setting needed a tweak. then this pops up. magic.

Hey Will. I need some budget'ish but good pedals. CSL elite v2 or clubsport v3?

I would have really liked to see pedal positioning… :(

Great video! I wonder wich elastomer do you use on Invicta pedal brake? I use the default one and it seems to have less travel than yours.

dont tell all secret hia.. now everybody will be faster, witch is not in my interest

I found mounting my asetek forte underneath the pedal plate track racer provide was a game changer for the brake pedal, the standard heel rest on the pedals means its super hard to use your leg instead of just the ankle. Without the raised bit on the forte’s my heel glides as i brake correctly

Which Elastomer are you using in the invicta pedals? The soft one?

I had a set of Fanatec CSL pedals and last year I replaced them with a set of Heusinkvelds.

First thing I did was set them up to feel exactly like my Fanatecs. I spent hundreds of dollars on them for nothing, but at least they’re fancy 😅

Although, to be fair the He pedals have massively more adjustable settings than Fanatec gives you. I was able to fine tune my clutch bite and brake feel to a high degree. And surprisingly, the stiffer spring in the throttle makes it easier to navigate pit lane speed limits in cars without a limiter, like stock cars and the new Formula Ford in iRacing.

Braking is where the time lies for sure. I have sprints but was faster with G27 load cell modded pedal because I was so comfortable with it. Never reached the same lap times with the sprints and it’s been years with them 😂

I rub the Heuski Sprints. Should I be running these at their maximum of 64KG, Will? From memory I'm running them at around 50KG at the moment. Could this be costing me time?

To calibrate brake pedal i imagine Monza T1 and do it... I guess that's the hardest braking point we can get

Number one tip. Don’t race in socks

Pashalis Jerkis....he's a malaka

Thanks Will! Made me go check the settings of my CSL pedals and they weren't to far off the mark. My CSL DD wheel base I hadn't looked at since I first started using it and the setup was nothing short of diabolical........

Linear for me aside from clutch. I have a clearly defined bite point exactly how you showed. Great vid Will 😊

Its interesting, I run way higher brakepressure with 85bar (invicta pedals). I love the "dynamic range" it gives me. Especially in high downforce cars were in corners with a short straight before the peak brake force is only like 50%. Beeing able to trailbrake at low pressures is just amazing.

Yeah. Upgrading my Fanatec pedals is next on my list.

Faster and more consistent isn’t the most important thing in sim racing, surely it’s having fun 🤗

Will great content as always, I don’t know who wouldn’t check to calibrate their pedal? > 😂 me racing for years wondering why I’m not that little bit faster. It’s a honour mate, keep up the good work.

I wish you had included how to set up the pedals within your rig( the distance, angle, ...)

Why is there no review on the Simagic pedal on the channel?

Thank you soo much
I really needed this information for my setup

Best video I have seen in ages. I have been desperate to have this sort of information for so long. I run a non linier brake and will now apply the percentage shown and make myself relearn. Thank you so much you are awesome.

How long did iit take you to learn to left foot brake? And is it a must?

This is what I've explained so so many guys. Now, iRacing specifically has some funky ABS implementation which is why you just barely get into it to be fast. Go into ACC and guys murder the ABS at 100% to be quick. But my Invictas and the "hard stop" at 80% feels like a cheat code in a GT3 in iRacing. You can still get to 100% for heavier zones and suspension compression zones, but our calibration is basically identical. Just a VERY different bar value to achieve it lol

Don’t rest feet on pedals…….simple. I don’t use any dead zone with slightly soft brake pedal and have great modulation control. Good vid but very subjective.

common sense. to sad mojority dont own pedal for the price og whole sim bundle :D

Thank you for doing so much for the racing sim community!
