Try these: Steering;Low Sensitivity-85%;Steering help-off;Opposite
Lock-off;Max lock-18 degrees;Reduce with speed-65% Accelerator and
Brake;Low sensitivity-100%. These are conservative settings and
shouldn't take long to get use to. If you have been running with
steering help On, you may want to leave Opposite Lock On until you
master using no steering help. Also, you can reduce Max lock to 15 or
16 if it is a little touchy but when you get use to it you will want to
go to 18 so the car will turn when you want it too. Hope this helps.

Max. lock at 10-12deg (more will cause understeering at high speed
corners and increase front tyrewear)
reduce with speed about 20 to 30%
low sens. zone about %12 (this is a dead zone, use more if you find it
hard to stay on the track on thr straights ;) )
brake low sens. zone 0%
accel. low sens. zone about 10%

Unfortunately, these settings are very personal and depend on your
driving style. Although it woks for me and our simracing team.

Well, these settings are for rookies ;) (except for the opposite lock help)
But you should try all the settings you get and decide which one suits
you the most. Good controller setup could gain you few hundreds :)
Anyway, the controller settings I posted few moments ago, helped me do
1.29.5xx on Suzuka yesterday (unfortunately in quals, else it would be
new WR :)))

That was one astounding observation, who would be asking such a question
about controller setups other than rookies? Hell I thought a super ace
was asking for my opinion, I'm crushed! :-)

Haha, well, I posted what kind of settings make you fly ;)
But it's better to have 2 setups to choose from then rather just one.
My setup may become handy in a month or two, while your's might be better
to learn ;)
