Go into Options - Display - Show pedals - and turn it on. In the lower right corner of the screen you should now see three bars; clutch, brake and throttle.
As you enter T1, the brake is not pressed, but suddenly there seems to be just a few, short taps on the brake button. To me this seems like a problem with your mouse - not LFS. LFS just isn't reciving any brake commands from your controller.

Hypothesis: The buttons on your mouse is an electrical switch (basically). You press the button down, and short circuit a switch. But on my mouse I have noticed the buttons will have trouble registering my clicks after 6-12 months. Instead of one click, I get many short one with really fast intervals. Turns out the two metal pices that thouch and connect to short circuit the switch had oxidized, and formed a non-conductive layer on the surfaces. I just open the switches and brushed the metal pieces that touch each other with something sharp to remove the oxidized layer. An voila; my mouse buttons work just as new!

If you scroll a bit down on this page, you will see some pictures of the switches on my mouse. Your mouse will have something similar.

PS. I take no responsibility if you break your mouse.

Skagen, thanks..! That was the problem



i replace it with new one from my old mouse
for now.. work fine : ))
Did you have to solder anything? Or did the wires have the same connectors for the PCB?

Glad it turned out good
looking at those parts makes me want to fix my old Wireless mouse.

there are two dots for soldering
my mouse is nothing special... and i just get left button from my old mouse.. and replace it ;;o
because i look in this button and there are small plates inside
and I decided it would be easier
