in slow corners. I have a LWFF (which has only 180 deg. travel) and I always
drove with 15:1 fully linear, hack turned off. But I had serious problems on
tracks with tight hairpins, especially at Monaco. I found, I need a ratio of
10:1 (or better 8:1) to get Station and Gasometer safely (especially when I
missed the turn-in point slightly). But this ratio in turn makes the faster
turns very difficult for me.
But I found a solution, which works great for me: I abandoned the 'need' of
a totally linear steering, put the slider to slightly below half non-linear
and use a ratio of 8:1. Near the center of the wheel it's quite similar to
15:1 linear (for the quick turns), but I also have the steering lock of a
8:1 ratio for the tight corners. I like this setting so much, that I use it
on all tracks now (Yes, even in Monza and Spa ;-)), because the low ratio
has some advantages even on tracks without tight corners: It's much easier
and quicker to get back on the track after a spin (important in a race) and
I've found, that I can recover from slides, which were a certain spin with
my old setting, due to the 'bigger' (and faster) opposite lock, which is
possible now. And the non-linearity gives me better control over very small
steering corrections (for trailbraking and keeping the car straight, when
I'm too fast on the throttle on corner exit), which might be the reason you
want a 30:1 ratio.
I'm sure, many people don't want non-linearity (like me, two weeks ago :-)),
but it let me 'enjoy' Monaco finally and helped my consistency on all
tracks.
Give it a try!
