Is there a way I can set my brake the way that I have full breaking power at about half (or whatever) deflection? it feels totally wrong to floor the pedal.

and yes, I could double the breaking power, but that's not exactly the same effect.

G25 by the way, but I don't think it matters.

DXTweak should so what you want.

also, you could do it via the ingame calibration.
just apply some pressure to the brake pedal (but do not floor it, of course).
keep it that way. click on "recalibrate axes". let off the brake pedal. enjoy.

This is soooo totally awesome.
It even lets me make it progressive in a way...

I'll give it a shot too. Thought about this before but never really caught the way the lfs calib works.

After that, don't forget to lock the calibration!

or increase the brake power so that at 50%+ the wheels lock up.
