'a struggle to make my MTB discs, road calipers, TT calipers on carbon rims, crosser cantis and tandem cantis all modulate the same' I think a less powerful brake might be ok but at the moment it feels like the back brake is spongy and just, though I admit it would, if it's not what I'm used to. Not that I do that very often, but the point is when you get an unexpected situation like that, brakes have to be predictable. round a corner down a hill over gravel, speedway-style - it feels really dodgy. In situations where I need to brake at the back only - e.g. For the moment it feels as though I'm having to pull twice as hard on the back as the front. It's useful to know you reckon they're fine - I might give these another go. I assume dual pivtos were invented in response to the fact that even the best brakes at the time were fairly feeble, but then did lots of people complain about back brakes skidding to prompt this latest change to 'differential' brakes? I've never had a problem caused by a back brake being as powerful as a front. Dual pivots have done away with the whole business - you centre them when you fit them and never have to think about it again. Keeping single pivots centred is not necessarily a nightmare but as they get older it gets harder as the pivots wear - it's ok while everything's new and smooth but after a few strip-downs and re-greases the mating surfaces get less and less polished and they start to wander a bit and that 13mm cone spanner comes out more and more often. I realize if all my bikes were like that I'd just shut up and get used to it, after which I don't doubt having two brakes the same might well seem weird - but I can't now change everything over. So the issue for me personally is the one of swapping between bikes. I still have an 80s bike with original nuovo gear - it's enough of a change to that from other bikes with dual pivots to make the beginning of a ride feel a bit dodgy, but when the front/rear balance changes as well it gets a tad dangerous, especially in emergency braking. Before dual pivot brakes I was always happy with campag single pivot brakes - I just accepted the limitations. Thanks for the reply - 'I'm not convinced you gave them a fair chance, given you started off with the assumption that they were inferior.' I see almost all campag brakes are now 'differential' - does anyone think it's a good idea? Having to pull unnaturally hard on the back brake to get any poke out of it is disconcerting, especially down hills.

I've never had a problem with rear brakes binding or skidding a rear wheel, so I don't understand why the brakes should take it on themselves to regulate the fore-aft balance, I reckon it's up to me to learn how to brake. I've still got a few pairs of old record and gran sport brakes from the 80s - when single pivots were all there was they were great and I was used to them, however now I've got dual pivots on everything, that's what I'm used to. One of the best innovations of the last 20 years is dual pivots - why the b0lux have we 'progressed' to a single pivot on the rear? Single pivots are a pain to keep centred, and they've got no bite - I used them for a couple of rides and gave up and got a pair of Centaur dual pivots - both dual pivots. I rang the shop to say wait a sec guys there's a c0ck-up here, but they pointed out most brakes are like that now, it saves weight and the back brake should be weaker than the front. Same procedure for all previous versions of P3D and FSX.īrakes are not assigned to any other buttons (like on the Saitek Yoke).I recently bought a pair of Chorus brakes - not the skeleton sort, the old ones. On my setup I 'calibrated' the Brakes with FSUIP6 and on the same screen selected the Reverse Axes check boxes. Incidentally, I previously owned Version 2 and Version 3 and had no problems with the brakes or the stick/pedals assignments. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Obviously the sim is unusable since I can't even taxi. I made sure there were no duplicate assignments.

I deleted all of the modifications that I made in the P3D settings screens and assigned all axes and buttons to FSUIPC. I couldn't seem to fix the problem, so I purchased FSUIPC6 for P3D V5.

After setting up my Saitek X52 Pro and my Thrustmaster T-Rudder pedals, I noticed that my brakes were stuck in the on position. I recently purchased and installed Prepar3d V5.
