Which linear steering setting is closest to reality?
Thanks.
WS
Been through a whole loada different settings when I changed over from
using a joystick to a wheel 'bout a year back. The joystick settings in
GPL at the time were about 2/3rds non-linear and it took me some time -
and plenty of frustration - to move from that to a more linear setting
with a wheel. It wasn't until I went full linear that my steering
control became more 'with it', almost as if it allowed me to react
quicker to what I was dealing with on screen and what I could hear.
With that, when I bought N2k2 I immediately set it to full linear and
have not had a problem driving the cars. Was using the fast setups
from day 1, with no probs.
So I recommend 'Full Linear'!!! :)

Full-linear is the only way to go if you have a good usb wheel. Full
linear means that when you move your wheel, you're moving the virtual
wheel in the virtual car.
That said, I've owned wheels in the past (particularly my Logitech
Wingman) which were too jittery to use full linear.
My recommendation for setting the linearity is to make sure you have
the wheel drawn in the***pit view so you can see what sort of
response you're getting to input. Crank the linear slider to full
linear, and then lower it until the wheel stops twitching.
FWIW, with a MS Sidewinder Pro I get no twitching at full linear, so
if you have a reasonably good USB wheel you should be ok.

With a steering wheel, I would start at 50% and go up from there. When it
gets too twitchy, back off a little bit. I feel that the more linearity,
the more control you have over the car. So try to work up as high as you
can. I'm currently running 80% with my Act-Labs setup

Never though of that. I'd disabled the wheel view, because I found it
distracting... I'll have to check that again.

Add to that the fact that different controllers may have different
characteristics as well, which would make it even more difficult to
determine which setting to use to get the correct 'real-world'-effect.
I personally use an LWFF with the Linearity slider at either 0% or 1% (I
keep changing it between the two because sometimes I like one setting,
sometimes I like the other).

I believe the opposite is true. I'd better make sure. I remember
the ends of the slider were marked "Linear" and "non-Linear" though.

With the slider to the right, the steering reacts far less to movements
around the center. With the slider to the left, it's far twitchier around
center. That's usually the consequence of a high linearity (i.e. movement on
wheel equals wheel lock more or less, depending on lock setting in garage
setup).
