...there is a option to turn on/off "Boost steering at low speeds".
Apparently, it's used enter and exit the pits more quickly/safely. By
default, it's turned on. Check under the Advanced Tab for control
assignments, that is if you haven't seen it yet.
I turned it off, but I didn't care for crappy handling. Can anyone tell me
if it's realistic to have such a effect? I've never driven a stock car, so I
can't really say. Nor do I recall any drivers making comments about it.

Of course it is not in a real car of any description. It's a software thing
to make it easier for those who can't find reverse gear when boxed into a
pit stall.

and for joystick driver!
Yeah, the dash switch took up too much room :)

Can anyone tellNo, that's the non-linear steering option, which desensitises the input near
centre, to make the top-heavy nature of the joystick input less dramatic in
the sim. But the combination of the two makes driving next to impossible
for me it is so unrealistic and unnatural and un-car-like.

Yes.

That's why there's an option to turn it off. Traction control and ABS
aren't realistic either. My gaming wheel only has something like 270
degrees lock to lock so this is (AFAIK) the only *aid* I use. I
*guess* a WC car have enough lock on the wheel to make negotiating the
pits "easy" yet not be twitchy when on track.

when you run the calibration and note when the numbers stop changing vs.
when the wheel stops moving. I'm guessing only about 240 degrees get used.

I'll bet you $100 that's a limitation of your wheel, not NR2003. Does it
register a wider sweep in the GPL calibration screen? Many wheels turn
farther in reality than they transmit signals electronically. Annoying, I
agree, but I doubt it's a limitation Papy put in. Tooo bad there are no
other games with a detailed, accurate calibration procedure to test it with.

Nope its just the Papy based games. The Ratbag DTR series games have a very
simular calibration as Papy and their value keeps going until I hit the
stops, and in F1/GTR2002 the red slider maxes out right at the end of my
wheel travel. Only the Papy games stop so early. Guess I should have taken
your bet. :)
MadDAWG
Interesting. I haven't heard of anyone reporting this problem in 4 years of
GPL, despite all the range of wheels out there.

Weird. My MS Precision Wheel has a similar amount of travel and
Papy's calibration routine recognizes all of it.
