what wheel you have?
i have g25 and i use this settings

front brake in the right paddle
dead zone 0
linearity 100
smooth press 30
smooth release 0
in setup 70-74
- when front wheels are not warm, it is easy to lock them
- use it only in straight braking

With front breaks you can break much later so it's better. The first laps the tyres are cold. So you should just drive and use the front brakes. After 2 or 3 laps it should be better when the tyres are warm. If if isn't better, decrease the front brake pressure a bit.

And Timba, did you buy fraps? Because I can only record 30 secs.

no, when braking it is better to be on the limit of lock, Iceman told right, when tires are cold it is easy lock them and this is not good, so you have to adjust the power front brake in the setup when tires are warmed, so after 3 or 4 laps
