Setting is for GPL?
Which is the easiest to drive?
Which is most realistic?
Thanks.

If you have non-linear set, the in-car wheel moves more slowly when near the
centre.
Personally I have mine fully-linear: it makes the wheel quite sensitive on
the straights, but then again it's not that hard to drive in a straight
line!
It makes it easier in the corners, which is where it matters.

JOYSTICK = NON-LINEAR
WHEEL = LINEAR

I have the GPL steering linear slider set at it's default center
position. I've re-installed GPL a couple times and could never remember
where I had that slider. So I figured I'd just leave it at default and
built setups around that. (IMO...) If the Sims allowed for a wheel with at
least a 3 turn L2L system It would be easier to control a car when the wheel
gets to that point of increasing ratio's <<-- best way to describe that?).

I know my road car has about 3 turns or so lock to lock, but does this apply
to race cars too? I always assumed they had only 360 degrees or so L2L in
any case.
Go on then, who's driven a race car and can give me the answer? :0)

In modern F1 cars it looks like the wheel moves a maximum
of 150 degrees either way, giving a total lock of around 300.
What I mean by this is when an F1 driver is driving straight and
his left hand is at "9 o'clock", when he turns right with full lock his
left hand moves over the top to about "2 o'clock" the other side.
They dont even rotate a full 360 degrees.
Lol SF.
Well, having just changed over from using a joystick to using a wheel
the jury's still out for me on this aspect. Obviously, when I was using
my joystick I had the slider something like 3/4 of the way towards non-
linear. Then, when I changed to my wheel, I automatically assumed that
I would now need the setting more towards linear. However, I have been
finding it extremely difficult with this setting to be able to brake
consistently in a straight line. In fact braking for a corner such as
Parabolica at anywhere near my old braking point with my joystick would
result in 50% or more probability of a spin out. It seems that the only
2 ways to remedy this for now has been to either move the slider over
towards my old joystick setting or shift the brake balance forward a
click - this results on more lockups of the front though.
So, I'm having to do something I had originally considered as a wheel
setup heresy, but at the moment it's the only way that gives me more
chance of staying on the track.
