Antilock brakes

[yzmxer608]

As of now you can't do this, and not from a "I don't have enough buttons" pov. I've tried using normal front brake, because I actually wanted to and stop faster. The front wheel locks really easy when not perpendicular to the ground, even using an analog stick (using a braking torque that didn't do this didn't make me stop faster than using anti-lock, so I said screw it). I might try using auto-clutch at 0 and using my g27 pedals for clutch.

Mark didn't use a keyboard, just a controller with buttons (pretty much the same thing) .

That's not true. I use normal front and rear brake. I'm able to run full braking torque on the front (though not on the rear), and hardly ever wash the front. When I do it's because I'm pushing too hard into my corners. The rear brake is a lot harder to use IMO, but I got used to it after a while.

I'll try again, but I have enough problems with my front-end as is...

I don't have a controller that has variable brake button. If it did, i wouldn't use antilock brakes. But it doesn't, so quit whining.

Nobody is whining. It's called a discussion.

so because YOUR controller doesnt have a button for it, then antilock should be allowed?

iRacing uses assists if you want to in the rookie classes. Don't try and spread bad info just to support your argument.

Whats your point here?
The argument is, everyone should have to use normal brakes for racing online.
I simply said Iracing uses assist. I apologize for not going into detail on the specifics of it. (Not that it really matters)

just to help you out here iracing does let you use some assists when your pst the rookie class. iracing is my sim of choice for competition so for me the days of the rookie class are far in the past. i have an A license in oval and a b in road and still run auto clutch because i get all sketchy and crash out way to often when i try to heel toe. so why dont you stop spreading bad info just to support your argument.

and because YOURS does it shouldn't???

Awe man I forgot about auto clutch. My bad. FWIW nobody (i remember) mentioned getting rid of auto clutch in this thread, and that guy was referring to braking and throttle aids. So my argument still holds water, he was being misleading.

Besides MXS isn't iRacing and our control system isn't as good as what's readily available for car sims, it's not realistic to draw comparisons.

and what about us, keyborders? Try to go without front antilock when you have full or no braking...

Indeed, i cant ride without antilock, and i play with keyboard since the game went online..

I don't use autoclutch, but those can be used in real competition (I believe Lemoine uses a Rekluse).

I never said mine does?

[crashreallyfast]

you guys miss the entire point that this is a SIMULATOR, not real life. sitting here bitching how things arnt realistic enough is pointless. asking riders to take off anti-lock is just kind of dumb. and asking riders to turn stop wheelie (front only i assume) is even more dumb. The physics in the game are not perfect, if they were, when you go half way on the breaks going 2nd gear pin, you wouldnt indo.

[Norcal_51]

IT IS STILL A VIDEO GAME! No matter how much people want to call it a sim it is not! Though it is much more realistic than any other game. And there is a breaking advantage when you don't use antilock and have your breaks setup right. There is a reason many of the fast guys don't run antilock.

The post isn't about weather or not the game should have these features, it's about having the option to disable them in a server. Just the option, nothing more. Some people play this game because it is a simulator, and if in their server they want to disable the use of certain settings or riding views they should be able to, every other modern racing sim has these "hardcore" only settings as well. No need to get all up in arms and insult people and their opinions.

Well at least this thread made me realize I should work on my braking technique.
Having never tried anti lock before reading this, I tried to turn the option on for both brakes: minus 2s on round 4...I went from almost qualifying to qualifying without much effort (not a make it or break it lap)

I couldn't believe how easier it was after getting used to just press the brakes buttons as hard as I could.
Thanks for bringing this discussion up, it won't make me switch to running anti lock but it gave me a new area of easy improvement.

On topic, I agree that this should be a server option so people have the choice to run an anti lock free race if they wish to, since it gives bad riders like myself a big advantage I guess it would make sense.
