Slaw device viper rx pedals

[Icebeat]

Hi,

I recently bought these pedals, can any of you with these pedals share your DCS configuration? I am especially interested in brake configuration, it seems as if the braking effect is much less than braking using a key.

Thanks.

I leave the toe brakes as is, I bind the left toe brake to the Left Brake Axis and the right toe brake to the Right Brake Axis. On all Rudder axes I use a 10% curve.

 

In terms of calibration...out of the box I installed a damper myself and then used the calibration .exe Slaw provides via email immediately following the install of damper. Past that, I've never touched it again.

 

Regarding your concern on the brakes, you have to realize something: When you were using a key for braking, DCS is either reading 0 (don't brake at all) or 1 (lock the brakes up 100%). When you use pedals with toe brakes, you have a throw (or a distance to travel between 0 and 1)...so that's the delay you're seeing. It's realistic and should should just let to get used to it. Thinking about how you stop your car...I'm assuming you don't just lock the brakes up fully and let ABS stop you when you're approaching a red light? I guess in theory you can just slam on the brakes hard AF in DCS if you want, to minimize the delay that you find some troublesome?

 

Otherwise, don't bother binding the toe brakes as axes just bind them to the Key Command instead...this will go back to the simple 0 and 1 you had with keys. IMO that would be absolutely absurd given you've spent the amount of money you've spent to get very high quality, realistic, pedals...but to each their own.

Hi Buckeye, thank you for the answer, the problem I see is that if a push both toes brakes at maximum I don't see the corresponding deceleration. Using the car's similarity, for me, it is as if you were installing a stop on your car's brake pedal and you could never push the maximum braking force, I'm sure it would brake but the braking distance would be much longer. I guess what I want is a way to change saturation values to 200.

Thanks.
