with setting up our wheels in sims, but real life drivers have been spared -
up to now. The following snip courtesy of Autoweek.com, on the new BMW 5.
"...the weighting of the active steering felt odd, as if the amount of
assist was changing all the time, which it was, of course. Changing the
steering ratio gave it a sort of leveraged effect on the rack, an effect
that was exaggerated since there was no constant ratio. The ratio vaulted
from 10:1 to 18:1, a fairly big swath. This odd feeling could go away in
time as we get used to driving the car, but initially it felt... different."
And sure to be of amu***t to FF users out there, here's something
familiar -
"One of the active steering cars (not ours) had to be reset several times
when the active steering didn't return the steering wheel to center after a
couple of quick, hard turns. A light came on on the dash and the driver
stopped and restarted the car to reset the wheel to center-like reboot-ing a
computer."
Wonder if there's a config file line to shut that ***off... ;-)
