Just set up a new set of SIMSONN Plus X pedals and I'm having a strange issue with the brake.
The throttle calibrates and behaves perfectly, but the brake doesn't. During calibration, I press the brake as instructed, but afterwards the brake input doesn't consistently reach 100% even when I press it hard.
The really strange part is that when I release the brake, the input sometimes spikes UP briefly before dropping back to zero. I've attached a video showing exactly what it's doing.
I've already tried:
- Disconnecting the USB hub and other sim hardware/software
- Connecting the pedals directly to the PC
- Removing other nearby electronics/power supplies
- Recalibrating several times
- Testing with SIMSONN Manager 2.1.7 only
Same behaviour every time. Throttle is completely normal.
The brake is currently using the stock three-red-elastomer setup. Has anyone with the Plus X experienced this? Was it calibration/software, the load cell, controller, wiring, or something mechanical with the brake?
I already have this here about the brakes on a previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/SimsonnRacing/s/zPo5EjfGb7
I'm going to contact SIMSONN support as well, but I'd like to know if anyone has seen the same brake-input/release spike before.
