Honestly, I guarantee the devs messed with the braking to prevent lockups rather than trying to fix the smoke. Therefore hindering those of us who race with no ABS.
They will gaslight us to the point of saying they never touched the brakes, but we all know they most likely don't know how to fix the smoke (as that previous patch showed) so they just mimicked ABS on in the code.

  Only played the free 1.15 update since the beta, so can't comment on 1.14.
  Have you tried resetting the brake values, e.g. pressure 90 and save then 100 and save? Only saying this as the UI is sometime "disconnected from the bucket" and this happens on updates....frequently.
  Not saying it's a solution but it might explain the two sides.

    Yes, I noticed that too. I have to really step on the brakes to get it to lock up. I have to brake earlier than before the hotfix (1.15).
    It looks as if the excessive smoke is simply counteracted by reducing the braking power. That can't be the case.
    I ride with Fantatec on the PC, V3 pedals, ABS and co deactivated. I can or have to adjust the tolerance of the brake pedal, but this leads to the same problem again. It locks up and smokes extremely again. Once again, symptoms are being treated instead of eliminating the causes.
    It's really pointless to wait or hope for a sensible solution to all the problems. The only thing that really helps here is a new game from scratch.
