Switching from Controller to Logitech G920!
Get that rig set up properly! Haha specially the pedals, set them right so that neither the pedals nor your chair skids away when braking. That will work wonders on your consistency.
Potentially impopular opinion: Logitech brakes get flak online for being too stiff. Indeed they are, and, for how much I love kicking soft or not-so-soft bellies (and the occasional elbows) in other hobbies of mine, even I had a sore leg while getting used to it in the first days. It uses potentiometers to gauge the braking input, meaning it reads pedal travel and translate that into braking in-game, while high end pedal sets use load cells, working similarly to a real car: it's the amount of force you press the pedal with that will determine how much braking force the calipers apply to the wheels - no matter how much pedal travel you got.
Those high end pedals? They're graded to 90-100kgf. Meaning of you use it on the full scale, it needs 100kg of force to register 100% braking input. Obviously that's adjustable and a good chunk of users with 100kgf load cell brakes will set their gear to 60-80kgf max, but you get the gist.
Never measured it myself, but Logitech G29/G920 brake pedal is said to take 20kgf to top out. That's way less in comparison.
Even though it is position-based, so not as great of a tech (it's easier to be consistent on force-based pedals), on the longer run I personally believe you're better off getting used to the stock pedal. You'll absolutely need to brace the pedal set properly as I said, and it does take time, but I would not be able to trail brake properly if I were to map the clutch pedal for braking or the like like you see people recommending online 🙃
Unfortunately the FFB on a wheel is subpar on this game. There's no way to replicate the fun, engaging, informative and actionable feedback it has on a controller. I play mostly on a PS5 and I often find it more enjoyable to play on the Dualsense than on my wheel.
If I'm to get my wheel stand out, it's most likely to play ACC or even GT7.
If the subjects interests you, check this video by Aris:
He's the main physics and handling designer for ACC. Mind you, this video is long as Aris is thorough, but it's only the first part that's pertinent. He goes over the numerous ways you can design the FFB in a racing game. As it stands, there's no proper fix for the lack of actionable information on what's going on with your rear axle.
Actually, there is: headphones. The audio design by Brad Porter is commendable in F1 22, even more so if you switch to the Driver/Helmet mix - don't recall the name. People give the franchise a hard time about how the engine doesn't always sound like the TV broadcast, but the audio feedback is solid! With time you'll adapt to have the game audio cueing you in on your rear axle traction situation instead of your hands.
