After 2 hours of testing I found not many time on a hot lap, maybe only half a second, but I am a way more consistent in a hole race and can repeat the fast laps much more easy. I’m not new to sim racing but I am new to modifications and extras like handbrakes so I want to know what’s best for me. At first I really struggled with consistent performance due to figuring out calibration and being used to distance based braking but eventually I got it figured out. Most people assign the handbrake function to a button on the wheel, which works fine for occasional engagement.

I purchased the tru break mod a couple of months ago, I found trail breaking to be inconsistent with the standard G29 break pedal. Assetto Corsa, Dirt Rally, DiRT 4, WRC 7 and SLRE, you can use any USB handbrake (Fanatec ClubSport, Thrustmaster TSS or Aiologs handbrake) via USB and map it as a standalone device.

Now I just need more time to play between just finishing Halo and starting Death Stranding (more on that weird game in a later post). At first, I installed the second-largest buffer thinking I didn’t want much soft pedal travel before the brakes engaged more significantly. It perfectly performs its easy to install function if you are a handyman, you need an adaptation period depending on how much you use it, which in my case is daily to several simulators. It became incredibly good feeling in the pedal with similar feel to a load cell that the more expensive pedal racks have. Took me a few hours to get used to it and i had to relearn braking for every car (iRacing), but consistency and lap times started to improve greatly.

TRUE Brake is brilliant when, as with Logitech, you can’t install a load cell, above all, you can install 4 different springs and 4 different lever travels, something for everyone due to effort and brake lever travel.It took a few laps getting to grips with the brake mod (as it requires a lot more pressure than the default brakes), but soon I started shaving off 1-2 seconds on most tracks (ACC on PS4) and lap times became far more consistent. I would recommend this to everyone that wants that little more realistic experience and overall more consistent driving experience. I’ve not got in properly tuned in yet, (wee tip: Try all the different spacers, till you get the right one just for you), but already the lap time reductions are massive. I think that they should keep the same number of the buffers that you get with the product, just that they would make a bigger difference between them. It’s genuinely made me better or at least gave me the confidence and motivation to push and improve my sim driving.

It’s personal preference whether you want the full range of brake application in the short travel, or a more noticeable difference in the pressure range by using the small buffer.As soon as I fitted it (easy instal as well) I noticed a massive difference, within a few laps of each track my lap times came down significantly. For all the drifting fans out there, and especially for those interested in rally games like DiRT, a handbrake is a very essential accessory.
