That would be cool if someone could rig a set of gears up so that the wheel
turns more than the steering shaft. dunno how it could be done though.

My main reason for wanting this is to allow me practice pull-push
steering, etc. as advised in 'Roadcraft - The Police Driver's Handbook'
for the UK Institute of Advanced Motorists test. This is to allow me to
unlearn bad habit and learn good habits for real world driving in a safe
simulated driving environment. I would also think that with the correct
software control to allow various setting for different vehicles this
would add to the realism of simulated driving experiences 'just for
fun'.
If this sort of wheel and simulator combination already exist please let
me know.
Thanks again,
Mark Charlesworth

By pull-push, do you mean shuffling the wheel through a turn, i.e. never
crossing your hands? If so, I thought this was now (rightly) out of
fashion with most police forces in the UK. When I was there in the
summer, there was a big article about how this technique had resulted in
many accidents involving cruisers, especially as the speeds rise with the
advent of Subaru Impreza WRC pursuit vehicles. Many forces are now
advocating a technique that involves crossing over the hands when using
more than, say, 120 degrees of lock. If this is what you actually mean,
then ignore my reply :)

I still wonder if there are any wheel and simulator combinations that
allow more than one complete rotation of the wheel, or at least which
wheel(s) allow the greatest number of degrees to be turned.

Seems odd to teach two different techniques when basic driving skills
should be instinctive. "Rotational steering" is the standard in North
America, Germany, and Switzerland (the only countries I have experience
with).
Yes, off topic, and I'm not sure about your wheel question. I haven't
seen one before, but perhaps it would be possible to modify a wheel. When
I opened my old Thrustmaster, the lock was limited by some stops which
could be modified. A rotational potentiometer usually has more travel
than is used by the wheels, so that shouldn't be a problem.
