Help with CSR Elite brake mapping in rfactor

[neverender158]

This is a short video of me pressing as hard as I can with my foot and not getting 100% braking.
I changed the dial from 5 to 10 and now when I press as hard as I can I can get 100%. 
In the mappings the brake is mapped to Joy3 RX. What can I change so I can get 100% braking without having to push as hard as possible?

I think all you have to do is go to your ingame button mapping select brake than push the brake all the way. When ever I start a game all my pedals are at 50% till engage one. If that doesn't work go to your fanatec profile and make sure your brake is configured properly other than that iam not sure....I've been having issues of late where my brake doesn't even register at all but after a computer reboot it sorts its self out, not sure if the pedal is starting to fail or just a glitch ?

I don't have a fanatec wheel so I don't think I have a fanatec profile.

CSR elite is a fanatec though neverender..

[neverender158]

True but I think the profiler is only when you have a wheel.

Are you able to see it in your game controllers in control panel?

[smokey]

do you just have the pedals? if so id still d/l the profiler & use it to map ya pedals mate

Got a reply from zeospantera from reddit and he sent me a link to a tool called DXTWEAK  <==link
Now I am able to get the full range of motion on the brake instead of about half.
Here is a video of him explaining how the software works. I just used the settings he had and tweaked from there. Amazing how much later I an now brake now that I have 100% braking. 
Jump to the 13min13sec mark to see him use the DXTWEAK program

Yeah, DXTweak is a handy little app. FYI, it won't work for iRacing as iR bypasses the DirectInput API and does it's own calibration.

That's awesome Jimmy - glad you were able to sort it out. Makes a big difference when you can actually use all of your brake. Lap times are about to drop (in a good way).

I hope so. now just need to learn to brake using the brake markers but I dont think I will get 2:06 even with john nelsons tune

On the topic of pedals I got the csr elite as well and in the past 2 weeks its become more frequent that my brake pedal is not responding to inputs?
When I go to the profiler and push nothing happens I usually have to unplug the USB or reboot to get it working and today I had an issue with the gas pedal only recording 25% and was a slow motion stutter that would only allow the car to slowly max out at 30 kmh
Is this a common glitch or signs that the pedals could be faulty and on there way out?

Cheers

Once in a while I need to back out of a games and restart my wheel for my Elite pedals to read full. It's been happening less frequently lately but once I reset I am good to go. I do have them connected through the wheel though.

As another note, my brake pedal had been making an annoying clicking sound. I took the pedal apart thinking I needed to lube the shaft (that's what she said) but it turned out the the screws holding the bottom pivot were too tight. It wasn't able to rotate smoothly. Just figured I mention it in case anyone else was experiencing the same.
