no problems at all with the credits... the only weird feedback issue is when you use the rewind feature....( i never use it so i can get more credits %) but if you rewind and your not on a straight sometimes when you resume the wheel wont be pointed in the right direction and you wreck again...but thats a minor thing

as far as the sensitivity the braking is what takes some getting used to and takes tweaking.....

the pedal itself has a dial with a 0-10 load cell feedback feature.... it controls how the wheel itself will vibrate when full braking force is applied to let you know ABS has kicked in

so if you set it high you dont have to press the brake with much pressure at all to make the ABS come on..... 7 out of 10 is about what i keep it on... when im doing thoe hard 1 on 1 chase events with the slower cars... i set it on 10 so i just tap the brake and get full braking....

i think the problem people are having is that the pedal itself is very stiff and it doesnt have much travel.... where like a plastic logitech GT pedal will go all the way to the floor with little pressure... the CSR is very firm... so you need to get used to that.... it has a bolt you can adjust to make it loose...but its way too loose that way... i tried it

and all thats needed is just adjust the load cell where the ABS comes on without you straining to push it to the floor as thats not needed


if you set the load cell to like 1 you can come out of the seat pressing the brakes and the car wont stop well

in addition the wheel itself has an ABS setting that 0-100 that engages the ABS depending on how far the pedal is pressed i have mine on 90...so ABS is on at 90% of the pedal pressed fully in... combine this with the load cell set high you can stop pretty easily.... it just takes getting used to as its different than any wheel set up ive used before


but yeah over all man i love it... no issues at all for me.. the paddle shifters are very realistic and have a real quality feel to them....

i will make a quick vid of me playing it tomorrow so you guys can see
