Introduction
Asetek SimSports® RaceHub™ allows you to make a plethora of
adjustments to your Asetek SimSports® products. On the Invicta™
pedals, it will allow you to adjust pedal maps, calibrate your
pedals, adjust the RGB lighting, and much more.
Everything is available in a highly user-friendly interface that
allows for quick and easy customization that not only gives
you complete control but does it in a manner where you are
constantly in focus – teaching you everything you need to know
to become a power user and expert sim racer.
The settings that you choose in RaceHub™ will be applied to all
the supported games found in section 2.2, “Compatibility”—
ensuring maximum performance and precision!
Pedal Calibration
To ensure your pedals are as precise as they can be, you should
run the pedal calibration wizard in RaceHub™. It is a quick and
straightforward process that takes you through a series of
activations that calibrate your pedals.
1. Navigate to the pane in RaceHub™ called Calibration
2. Push the calibrate button
3. Follow the on screen instructions
4. Done! Your calibration will carry over into all the supported
games.
Once your pedals are calibrated, only a few unique scenarios will
cause a need for recalibration:
a. If so desired, you have adjusted both mechanical
pedal stops of your throttle and clutch pedals
b. If so desired, you have adjusted the mechanical pedal
stop of the brake pedal
Deadzone Adjustments
In RaceHub™, you will be able to set both top and bottom
deadzones on all your pedals.
A bottom deadzone allows you to slightly activate your pedal
without engaging the brake. For example if you rest your foot on
the pedal.
A top deadzone allows you to modify the point of full activation.
In the case of a throttle pedal, this would allow you to reach
100% throttle before your throttle pedal reaches full activation
and the mechanical pedal stop. This preference is individual
and generally done by a race engineer before the car goes on
track. RaceHub™ allows you to customize it fully, and we strongly
encourage you to do it as well, to not lose potential speed and
lap time.
The top and bottom deadzones can be adjusted using this slider
marked here:
We suggest the following settings for deadzone when using the
Asetek SimSports® Invicta™ pedals, which is how it is calibrated
from our factory.
Throttle:
– Top: 2%
– Bottom: 2%
Brake:
– Top: 0%
– Bottom: 2%
Maximum Brake Force Adjustment
RaceHub™ allows you to calibrate your brake with accurate
hydraulic measurements like in a real race car, giving you the
ultimate immersion and precision you would get in a real car.
The calibration of your Invicta pedals is measured in a numerical
value of bar pressure.
The maximum pressure supported is 100 bar, which directly
corresponds to 185 kilos of pressure.
However should you require less pressure to reach what the
simulator is recognizing to be 100% brake application, you can
calibrate whichever pressure you want to equal 100%.
Custom Pedal Mapping
One of the great features of RaceHub™ is the ability to map the
curves of your pedals precisely to your liking. In most racing
simulator pedals, you will find a 1:1 relation between the amount
pressed on the pedal and the response in-game. This is not how
things work in real racing – so why should it be this way in your
sim rig? The answer is, it should not, and our pedal maps help
you avoid just that.
We have made a few preset curves that mimic typical scenarios,
but the RaceHub™ software also allows complete customization
of your pedal curves. Click, drag and drop – it is that simple!
As we briefly mentioned, a real race car will not have a linear
throttle response. An example will be an Audi R8 LMS GT3,
which has less activation of the throttle at the beginning of the
pedal activation, increasing as you progress through the travel.
Similarly, you can adjust your curves based on your driving
conditions—all in search of ultimate performance.
Please note that RaceHub™ custom pedal maps work best when
they are used exclusively and without the use of potential ingame settings. If your preferred simulator game offers a pedal
mapping feature, we highly suggest you leave it as linear and
instead use the functionality in RaceHub™.
