What do you mean non-adjustable? Changing the value has
no affect?

HEY! I found something that just shaved close
to two seconds off my lap times! I lowered
the sensitivity on the brake and throttle axes
to 80%. It's sooooo much better!
Before, just breathing on the throttle would
really rev the motor. At 80%, barely pushing
the pedal gives it just a little gas. At less
than 80%, there was a dead zone, and it didn't
hit full throttle. Now, it's much easier
to feather the throttle through the turns.
Try it!

You should be running at 50% for the wheel and pedal axis(50% = full
linear) and set your speed sensitivity to zero. If the steering is too
twitchy with those settings then reduce the steering lock in your
individual setups.

I strongly recommend setting brake and throttle sensitivity to 50%. It'll
be even better than 80% - guaranteed!
Here's how it works....
100% sensitivity = Most of the throttle/braking happens within the *first*
part of the pedal travel.
50% sensitivity = The throttle/braking is linear throughout the pedal's
travel.
0% sensitivity = Most of the throttle/braking happens within the *last*
part of the pedal travel.
The same (almost) goes for steering....
100% = Extremely sensitive - most of the steering happens in the first part
of the steering wheel's travel.
50% = Full linear
0% = Extremely insensitive - most of the steering happens at the extreme
extents of the steering wheel's travel.
And while I'm at it......
Set Speed Sensitivity to 0% under 'Digital Controller Rates' - this prevents
the sensitivity from changing with car speed.

The default value I believe is 85% in the setups that come with the
game, which is why the brakes refuse to lock.

My trusty old LWFF has only 180 deg of travel but I find that decreasing the
X-axis sensitivity a little makes the game much more drivable than using any
speed sensitivity.
