IMO the pedal mappings from before the update were decidedly non-linear. By that I mean negative/positive acceleration versus pedal position was flat/low in the middle of the pedal's range, and was markedly higher near the ends. If I didn't feather it just right at a certain point in the pedal's travel when slowing down the car would slow down a little faster than I wanted it to, and vice versa in terms of acceleration.
The pedal mappings now are much more consistent insofar as the change in acceleration compared to the change in pedal movement is more predictable/consistent across the pedal's entire movement range. With the last version, it was relatively flat in the middle (large inputs resulted in smaller outputs) and increased sharply at each end (small inputs resulted in large outputs).
