Andre is correct here poster, when using a keyboard, all the computer
'assists' are turned on and cannot be turned off. It was done for th benefit
of us online racers that invariably end up getting taken out of a race by
keyboard racers since there is no linearity with a keyboard. The commands
are on or off. Either full gas, full brake, full left or full right when
steering, no graduations like there are with potentiometers that are found
in racing wheels, which has many steps between off and full on.
