Setup Brakes

Adjust brake-related setup options from the cockpit — ABS level, brake bias (coarse and fine), peak brake bias, miscellaneous brake settings, and engine braking. Placed on a Stream Deck+ dial, the same action becomes a brake-setup dial with the live value on the touch strip — see On a dial below.

View sub-modes

The View … entries at the top of the Setting dropdown turn the key into a continuously updating display of the current value in the car. With dual-press enabled (default) the same key also adjusts the value: a short press fires one direction and a long press fires the opposite — so one key replaces the separate Increase / Decrease keys you’d otherwise need.

View setting	Telemetry source	Format	Typical range
View Brake Bias	dcBrakeBias	percent, 1 decimal	~50–60%
View Brake Bias Fine	dcBrakeBiasFine	percent, 1 decimal	~50–60%
View Peak Brake Bias	dcPeakBrakeBias	percent, 1 decimal	~50–80%
View Brake Misc	dcBrakeMisc	integer	car-dependent
View Engine Braking	dcEngineBraking	integer	car-dependent slot
View ABS Adjust	dcABS	integer	car-dependent slot

Dual-press control

Each View sub-mode exposes a single extra setting in the Property Inspector:

• Enable dual-press (default on) — when off, the key stays a pure read-only display and presses do nothing. When on, presses dispatch to the matching adjustment binding (e.g. View Brake Bias dispatches to Brake Bias + / Brake Bias −), so configure those bindings in the Global Settings → Setup Brakes section.

The tap direction is a single plugin-wide setting under Global Common Settings → Dual-Press → Directions (default Tap increases, long-press decreases; the long-press always fires the opposite of the tap). The threshold separating “short” from “long” is a sibling setting Long-press threshold (ms) (200–2000 ms, default 500 ms). Both take effect on the next press without needing a restart.

Modes

Select the mode from the Setting dropdown in the Property Inspector. Directional modes also expose a Direction setting for Increase / Decrease. Modes apply to keypad instances; a dial instance uses the dial behavior described in On a dial.

ABS Toggle

Toggle ABS on or off.

Details

• Method: Key binding
• Default binding: No default key binding

• Telemetry-aware icon: No

Setting: Direction

• Increase (default) — Pressing the button raises peak brake bias
• Decrease — Pressing the button lowers peak brake bias

---

Brake Misc

Adjust iRacing’s “brake misc” catch-all setting. The exact effect depends on the car.

• Telemetry-aware icon: No

Setting: Direction

• Increase (default) — Pressing the button raises the value
• Decrease — Pressing the button lowers the value

---

Engine Braking

Adjust the engine braking level.

Details

• Method: Key binding
• Default binding: No default key binding — both Engine Braking + and Engine Braking - must be configured in iRacing and in the Property Inspector
• Telemetry-aware icon: No

Setting: Direction

• Increase (default) — Pressing the button raises engine braking
• Decrease — Pressing the button lowers engine braking

On a dial

Placed on a Stream Deck+ dial, Setup Brakes becomes a brake-setup dial. Pick one brake value with the dial’s Setting dropdown; turning the dial steps it up or down in the car, and the touch strip shows that value live as a big, color-coded number. It uses the same key bindings as the keypad modes, so no extra configuration is needed if you already use them. The Property Inspector automatically shows the dial settings below (instead of the keypad Setting and Direction) when the instance sits on a dial. See Dials for how the shared dial gestures work.

Details

• Method: Key binding — the same Setup Brakes increase/decrease bindings the keypad modes use, plus the ABS Toggle binding for the press gestures. Configure them in the Related Key Bindings section; the Property Inspector shows a status line indicating whether each is set.
• Dial: Rotating adjusts the selected setting (clockwise = increase, counter-clockwise = decrease). Both the increase and decrease key bindings must be set.
• Default binding: Brake Bias uses = / - like the keypad mode; every other setting needs both directions configured
• Telemetry-aware icon: Yes — the touch strip shows the live value from telemetry (see the table below)

Controls

• Elgato Stream Deck+ — dial rotation, a press (short or long), and a touchscreen readout that always shows. A touchscreen tap or long tap runs its own configured Tap Display / Long Touch action.

Dials are currently Stream Deck+ only — the action can’t be placed on Mirabox knobs or Ulanzi dials yet (see Dials).

Setting: Setting

The brake value the dial controls. Each setting renders as a color-coded “dash box”: a short label on top and the live value as a large number. The % is dropped (bias values read as percentages). Each setting has a built-in accent color so multiple dials stay distinguishable at a glance; you can override the border, label, value, and background colors in the Dash Box Appearance section of the dial settings.

Setting	Label	Color	Telemetry source	Shown as
Brake Bias	BB	red	dcBrakeBias	e.g. 54.0
Brake Bias Fine	BBF	amber	dcBrakeBiasFine	e.g. 0.5
Peak Brake Bias	PEAK	purple	dcPeakBrakeBias	e.g. 65.0
Brake Misc	MISC	blue	dcBrakeMisc	integer (car-dependent)
Engine Braking	ENG	green	dcEngineBraking	integer (car-dependent)
ABS Adjust	ABS	yellow	dcABS	integer (car-dependent)

When telemetry isn’t available the box shows ---. View sub-modes and ABS Toggle are not offered as rotation settings — the dial display already shows the live value, and on/off doesn’t map to a rotary (ABS Toggle remains available as a press gesture).

Setting: Press Action / Long Press

What a short or long press of the dial button does, chosen from:

• Toggle ABS (default for Press) — taps the Setup Brakes ABS Toggle binding.
• None (default for Long Press) — does nothing.

A press is classified when you release the dial — a hold past the Long-press threshold fires the Long Press action. Turning the dial while pressed adjusts the value (a “push + turn”) and never fires the press action.

Setting: Tap Display / Long Touch

Optional touch-strip gestures (Stream Deck+ only), each over { Toggle ABS, None }. Both default to None for VR safety.

Key Styles — paired +/− buttons

Adjustment modes with a live value (on Setup Brakes: ABS Adjust, Brake Bias, Brake Bias Fine, Peak Brake Bias, Brake Misc, and Engine Braking) can render as paired keys: place two keys with opposite directions next to each other (or three, with a View key in the middle) and both show the live value — no separate display key needed. Choose the look under Key Style:

• Legacy (arrows) — the classic static arrow icon (default for existing keys).
• Split — label on top, live value in the middle, a big +/− below (default for newly placed keys).
• Edge chevrons, Joined pill — alternative value-showing pair looks.
• Big +/−, Big chevrons, Pill end — no-value styles for the outer keys of a 3-key group; the View key in the middle shows the value (set its Display Style to Pill middle to span the pill across all three keys).

Values are shown without units for maximum size. Edge chevrons, Joined pill, Pill end, and Big chevrons take a Position in Pair setting (Auto follows the direction: increase right, decrease left; pick Top/Bottom for vertical stacks). Holding a paired key repeats the adjustment until released. Colors follow the normal color overrides (the +/− accent is the Graphic 1 slot); pill styles disable the normal border — the pill itself is the frame.
