of travel.  If you were to set the pedals to 100%, you'd find that all of
the braking/acceleration would occur within the first little bit of travel.
The pedal/steering sensitivity numbers are relative to their stationary
positions.  Unfortunately my wheel doesn't have enough resolution/travel to
use 50% (full linear) steering so I have to back it off a little.  50% is
very important for the pedals - particularly the throttle.

Not needed for F1 2002 (at least not with my wheel)  They seem to have fixed
the deadzone problems that plagued F1 2001

Oh, you mean for the wheel...well, I don't think it's a software resolution
problem, but I'll give it a try...

Okay, you sold me on the idea.  :)  I did some testing in the axis
setup screen and noticed what you described.  I guess this would be
true for the clutch as well?

Okay so 50% is linear, 0% is non-linear, then what is 100% then?

Goes for any control axis.

50% is linear, less is less sensitive around the middle(steering)/beginning
of travel(split pedals), more is more sensitive.

100% is best described as hyper-sensitive..
