Hello "Soft" (on the smart program in brake) is max 100kg pressure and can t go up (even if you push 150kg pressure) so you must put it on "hard" to past 100kg of pressure ;) it s to prevent scratch on soft rubber :) And on Iracing you must go in the calibrate file in Mydoc and put the calibration from 0 to 4095 if you don t do that and just calibrate in the game you will add dead zone from the program and from the game so have for exemple 5% plus 2% from the game... or you must calibrate with a profile with 0% dead zone and 30kg brake to have the range from 0 to 4095 in the game (but it will add dead zone too but from 0% and not from 5%) ;) Just a little tick to use the range at it s maximum and use the superb program at it s max capacity ;)

Rubber stiffness is just a convenient setting i think, if you choose soft and try to change the max force in kg it can only go up 100kg and if you want the full 140kg then you have to choose hard rubber stiffness. I think it's just a way to stop people from having 140kg force on soft rubber. I know you can just choose hard even with soft but still.

@@boostedmedia I get your point, however I can do top tier lap times in other Sims with practice. 1.22.0 around brands hatch in ACC for example. So I think my technique is pretty good. The issue with iRacing is there is no ability to adjust brake pressure as you can in all other Sims and I have seen many others adjust % braking in the iracing software to overcome this. The locking points come so early in the braking range, for me it’s not realistic and I’ve driven single seaters (F3) in real life with no problem with braking like I’m experiencing in iRacing 👍🏻
