DFGT Problem - F1 2013

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys, 

I am sure if you have the Driving Force GT there is an apparent problem which seems to occur with the pedals. On occasions it is okay, but sometimes, the brake pedal is being ''pressed'' when my foot is not even on it. 

It has been a problem for me on this game especially, it was fine on 2012 mainly because I found some brake settings which worked and ensured it did not happen. I have cleaned inside numerous occasions but no luck. 

If anyone has any suggestions on fixes/settings then please let me know.

The same thing happened to me on a different wheel. It was a bad cable going from the wheel to the pedals. Mine has a "phone" type cable.

Sounds like your brake pedal has slipped a cog, this happened to me when I tried putting stuff into the "well" to create more resistance.

You can either play around with deadzone until it disappears or open up your DFGT if you are brave enough (reading back, looks like you already have). If you open up the DFGT, the biggest problem is that the two springs which create the resistance in the pedal are very awkward to get back on. Otherwise it should be pretty easy to re-seat the brake onto the correct cog - it is very easy to set it one cog out as the pedal gets pushed in a fraction as you screw the bottom back on so make sure as you push the bottom back on that the cog-wheel isn't starting to turn.

Yes, I have took the actual pedals out and metal things attached to them. The issue is solved for a little while on occasions but it eventually comes back.

On 2012, I put the deadzone to 20-30% and it worked fine and it did not affect my driving - does not seem to work on 2013 however I have tried different figures and no luck
