G920 bought

I did think about buying a variable spring for the brake pedal, but it costs about £15ish from a quick look and out of pure stuborn stingyness that Logitech should have put one in, im not. Maybe if I can get one cheap on ebay I might
 
Yeah it did certainly look like one and goes feel different to the accelerator and clutch, but I wouldnt mind a little more stiffness as put forward from Logitech and not a rubber block to make up for that which actually stops me from braking fully in the first place.
 
You ever driven a real life vehicle with hydraulic brakes? They don't have a 0-100% potentiometer with linear travel and resistance. The rubber block is a good approximation to the feel when the pads bite.
 
I'm not sure it is a good approximation. The brake pedal in my car doesn't bounce back on me. And while it gets harder, I can press it all the way down, and do so in a controlled manner.

With the rubber block in place on the G920, and the pedal view running on AC, trying to hold the brakes on hard resulted in the actual level of press being all over the place as you tried to overcome the block not wanting to allow anything more than 50%.

Too many to remember but no cars have I ever felt to brake like I had to in project cars with the rubber block in. I was only gaining 30% braking power, thats not realisitic
 
Yeesh. I didn't think I needed to be as utterly detailed in my description as it appears I do. What's your definition of all the way down? Because I would say that it would be 'as far as the brake pedal travels under normal use'. The point about the complaints about the rubber block is that it means that you can only get to that point with a sudden jerking brake application, and they it rebounds on you.

The action of a brake pedal in a real car is not to bounce back from the furthest extreme you've tried to press it to, and then to make it all but impossible to maintain a consistent level of pressure.

Yet that is exactly the effect caused by the rubber block originally installed in the G920 which I bought. Suggesting the effect it has is in some way closer to the feel of a real brake pedal is not correct.

I have no idea whether the mod for earlier versions has the same effect, as I haven't tried it. It might be a completely different grade of rubber and therefore not.
