cool wheel.

the formula fords ive raced always seemed quite similar to the BRD wheel.
Ive suggested to BRD that they include a software controlled 'steering lock
limit' that can activate a lock 'lock' mechanism that limits rotation in
their new wheel depending on where a game wants it (iiuc its dictated by the
maximum degree angle that the front wheels can physically turn in the well
and the steering ratio, so you dont get more or less lock on the fronts
exaclty, its just the amount of turns on your steering wheel thats changed,
the speed of steering).
Now, to get the GTR people to talk to the BRD people about this kinda thing,
then we'd be in nirvana!

Maybe this is why I was demolished on my first kart outing by a mate who
I can blitz in sim racing. Or maybe I'm just not any good. But I was
taken aback by how physical it was. I can't imagine what it must be like
for the real F1 drivers to fight the g-forces for 2 hours in the heat
(like Bahrain this weekend).

in fact it's a clean, smooth, progressive performance that supplies the
real speed."
-Sir Jackie Stewart
I calibrate using ~450 degrees of lock for roadies and ~540 degrees for
ovals. Then, I use the steering ratio in the setup to fine-tune the
response. It'd be nice if the degrees of lock were adjustable. Just
thought of something... wouldn't it be nice if SBDT designed GTR to work
well with the DFP?

No, I haven't heard of it. I'll have to look it up. I've been karting
exactly once in my life, in Indy during the 2002 GP weekend.

Thanks mate, looks fun. I'm going to see if I can rustle up my gang to go
there.
