Setup question

Well the easiest way I tell is to look at the steering wheel. If I just barely turn turn it at a reasonable speed entering a turn and it starts squaling I know I need to adj my steering lock. If I have to turn it a considerable amount at a reasonable speed and it wants to go straight then I'm going to fast or I need to make adjustments. This is what works for me, but I'm sure many people have a more scientific answer... ;) Merry Christmas R. Faust aka Xducer

I haven't tried F1Rs yet, but in ICR" & Nascar2, I can cheat and look at the tire temps. Also you have the "squeal" to give you an idea. In GP2 I find out when I'm beached on a kerb:) BTW, seems to me that the sims don't model steering too precisely; In all I've driven so far, you can really "Pac-manhandle" the wheel doing 180. And the car just darts around a bit. In real life, I don't think so...
