Rear Brake Stopped Working

Post by colew500 »

Recently the rear brake has nearly stopped working for me. The rear brake does nothing on the ground but in mid air it will slightly lower the nose of the bike, so that means it is working at least a little bit. my settings havent changed in the past year and its not my controller because i have tried switching the buttons for the brake. i just uninstalled mx simulator and re installed it but it still does the same thing. Also i have restarted my computer multiple times and it has not changed. my rear braking torque is still 500 so thats not the problem either. any help?

I thought this was normal? I can't stop the bike with the rear brake its pretty much useless. Only good for keeping the front down on jumps.

Do you have the rear brake set to anti-lock?

I meant you should turn off anti-lock.

If your controller puts the tiggers on the same axis they'll lock each other out.

Did you setup the drivers or just install them? http://forum.mxsimulator.com/viewtopic. ... 58#p550358
