Left foot breaking uncomfortable
My right foot's fine, but leaving my left foot on the brake pedal for
the fastest reactions is uncomfortable. Me or the pedals? I'm using a Thrustmaster 360 Modena. Don't drive in real life. Thanks -- Derek |

Left foot braking uncomfortable
Whoops. Not used to typing with the keyboard on my lap - Wheel is
blocking its normal place. At least that's my excuse -- Derek |

I left foot brake in my car due to it being a manual, if I was used to an auto, maybe things would have been different. Cheers, Rod. |

Generally, if you've never left foot braked before you first need to build up muscles to feel comfortable to keep foot in hovering position for a long periods time. > I left foot brake in my car due to it being a manual, if I was > used to an auto, maybe things would have been different. Is it a typo about left foot braking on manual or are the pedals are placed unusually (gas on the left?) in the country where you live? Alex. |

Left foot breaking uncomfortable
It like anything else, get used to it or it feels wierd at 1st..
Most people dotn know why we're usually taught how to drive an automatic, AND only to use one foot (usually the right) is because you have timid little mary and or johny, that is 15 and have just hardly stoped the dribble down thier chin, we're now gonna teach em to drive. So we Teach with the lowest common denominator, "just concentrate on using one foot to drive..." Oh your thinking Bull****... well, Does this sound familiar? "NO! Your other LEFT!!!" This keeps us from being killed as teens in the Driver's Ed car, but damn near kills everyone else next semester, since now becausethe freaking kids are on cellphone too busy to friggin drive... All because everything is set so even the biggest dummy can learn and pass. LOL.

Don't drive in real life. I can't comment on the particular ergonomics of this wheel, as I've never used it, but I think you're missing a trick he of course you need to be "in position" to benifit from not actually having to move your foot over to the brakes, but you don't have to leave it there all the tine. My technique for left foot braking is to leave my heel in position, but rotate my foot away from the brake pedal and rest it on the base of the pedals when I'm not going to be braking again in the next few seconds. Then before my next brakemarker comes up I simply rotate imy foot back to position it on the brake. Jan. =--- |
