GET FASTER NOW! - How to Set Up Sim Racing Pedals THE RIGHT WAY

Ive asked so many youtubers to do a tutorial on this and Will always knows how to answer the question to where it makes sense. Ive even asked my sim pedal brand and they couldnt have answered better than Will. I appreciate your content so much, what a blessing to the sim racing community

Could you make a video about the physical setup of pedals? I mean how you position them etc. I own the invictas as well, and I love them. But I can't get them mounted without either straining my gas or break foot. I have them tilted forward like you, which helps a bit. But I still can't race them for a prolonged time.

I have heusinkveld sprints and use a non-linear curve for the brake. It has a preset called "slow start" which is great. When starting to press the pedal and there is no real resistance in the pedal I don't brake much, but as soon as the resistance in the pedal starts, the brake starts applying more force.

Wish you dropped this a few weeks ago! I finally upgraded to a solid rig and a loadcell brake and it took me quite a while / needed a bit of research to nail it. But once I had this dialled in like you’ve perfectly articulated here i am already faster and more consistent than before.. game changer! Keep up the good work legends!

I came here expecting to learn how my brake pedal is setup wrong and how I'm losing time not always braking to 100% despite driving a car with ABS, but it turns out I had my brake setup exactly how you said and I'm not necessarily losing time by only braking around 80% most the time... TIL! btw I did get to fix my throttle pedal top deadzone with your advice :)

How do you calibrate on xbox

This is what I've explained so so many guys. Now, iRacing specifically has some funky ABS implementation which is why you just barely get into it to be fast. Go into ACC and guys murder the ABS at 100% to be quick. But my Invictas and the "hard stop" at 80% feels like a cheat code in a GT3 in iRacing. You can still get to 100% for heavier zones and suspension compression zones, but our calibration is basically identical. Just a VERY different bar value to achieve it lol

Coming into this late but should rhese dead zones be in place before your calibrate in iracing or should they be off for ingame calibration and then turned back on?

Hi Will, I see that you are not hitting the end stop for the brake pedal. This means that the hydraulic phase of the pedals are not utilised since its still compressing on the elastomer. That final part of hydraulic pressure on the load cell with zero movement does not take place. Is this intentional?

Great video

I rub the Heuski Sprints. Should I be running these at their maximum of 64KG, Will? From memory I'm running them at around 50KG at the moment. Could this be costing me time?

Dose CSL elite V2 have this type of capability. I’m getting into sim racing and elite V2 in my budget. Thanks

I have a question about one thing. After Calibrating your pedals, does the pedal maps needs to be enabled or it’s a choice between either you calibrate it or use pedal maps. I just got the pedals and wasn’t sure about this.

Very useful, cheers mate!

Hi, tnx for your video, One question for a expert please:) Does the alone position of the pedal's podium make any difference, for example the back of my "fanatic" pedals is up from the floor for 30% like that I personally have better contact with them.

What about pedal angle? Should the pedals be 90° or close to it? I feel like I’m losing purchase.

What elastomer do you use in your brake to achieve second stage in under 38bars? I have the invicta pedals to and use the black elastomer and has to run a lot more bar to achieve second stage.

Have you reviewed the simagic p2000 pedals? I looked through your videos I didn’t see it in there. Wanted to know your thoughts on them, been considering upgrading to those from my csl elite v1

Does the calibration carry over when you plug your pedals into your PlayStation? (Assuming console compatible pedals like Fanatecs)

I had a set of Fanatec CSL pedals and last year I replaced them with a set of Heusinkvelds. First thing I did was set them up to feel exactly like my Fanatecs. I spent hundreds of dollars on them for nothing, but at least they’re fancy 😅 Although, to be fair the He pedals have massively more adjustable settings than Fanatec gives you. I was able to fine tune my clutch bite and brake feel to a high degree. And surprisingly, the stiffer spring in the throttle makes it easier to navigate pit lane speed limits in cars without a limiter, like stock cars and the new Formula Ford in iRacing.
