    I use HPP PRX Pedals, and RaceRoom doesn't detect any brake input until about 50 percent of my max braking force is exceeded. Any other sim works perfectly fine.

    can you turn off the gamer ; fire up diview ,check the pedal is opperating correctly; if so ; start the game go to controls ; edit
    rebind the pedal a few times
    advanced setings check the inpuit

    I already confirmed proper operation in DIView and all of my other sims.

    My upper deadzone is no problem. I set it to 20 percent as that's the maximum amount I can press the pedal. Pictured is a screenshot of my pedals 100% depressed at 100% deadzone.

    I've attempted rebinding the pedals with DIView running to no effect. I still only get a signal in game at 50% pressure.

    Are you sure you don't have some kind of deadzone set via DIview? If the game isn't seeing a signal until you reach a certain pressure then it means a signal isn't being sent until that pressure. I would reach out to Mark at HPP. Even if they are working in other games it still doesn't sound like a Raceroom issue to me.

    Generally speaking....if you can only physically use 20% of you're pedal why not use softer rubbers? Seems like youare losing out on a lot of fidelity there.

    Looking at the RCS file the centre of the brake range is above the max of the range, which would lead to weird output. I doubt the system was ever designed for such a low upper deadzone. I've edited your file.

    try this:
