Wheel users: how much degrees you set your steering wheel?

Jonzy · 15 April 11, 16:39

I set mine to 540 (543 to be exact), then it struck me that with higher speed cars I think I need more angles with floaty cars.

info0 · 15 April 11, 18:03

I set mine to 540 in profiler and 270 in game (Drift and normal) with steering sensitivity of 30%.

Used it in Shift 1 too. Quite funny it gives me the best feeling of cars, but be aware it takes time getting used to without mods (cars are floaty in NFS Shift games a lot!, like there is absolutely no weight to them

.

265 on profiler and ingame

NombreyApellido · 15 April 11, 18:42

540 on game devices properties: in game: 540 for circuit racing and 270 for drift.

grave2000ca · 15 April 11, 20:00

540 in the profiler and 540 ingame.

1foggy · 15 April 11, 20:02

362 profiler/360 in-game. Tried the 540/540 but it felt sloppy to me. And I couldn't get any combo of 900 dialed in...

Miths111 · 15 April 11, 20:04

450. I use 540 in most sims (though I think I have iRacing set at the full 900) - I can't really remember why I ended up on 450 for Shift 2 while I was experimenting with settings.
I increase the steering lock on most cars to 25-30 degrees.

Now that you mention it, I bet that's why I couldn't get the steering as crisp at the higher degrees of rotation - I wasn't adjusting the car's steering lock until I started getting down to the 360 degree rotation, and by that point I had just started messing with the steering lock in the individual cars...

Scorz · 15 April 11, 20:10

900 here. Just used to it with iRacing and NetKar so stuck with it

Fanatec Turbo S Wheel.

Fanatec Profile set to 370 degrees. On wheel settings (hardware) set to off which forces wheel to use profile settings.

Ingame set to 80% but I wish it were in degrees not percentages... bug ?!

Shinzah · 16 April 11, 04:10

I usually use 900 for sportscar racing, and adjust on my ingame settings with steering lock and such. 540 otherwise in other games, like GRID, Toca3 and Shift/Shift2 as well as rally.

270 in F12010, 470 for all other openwheel/prototypes.

Therefore. I have no idea what to vote. So I'll just go with 900 since thats where my hardware settings seem to be around.

900 + max steering lock in car tuning menu

kaftan · 22 April 11, 20:44

Im running Julz minimod so Im running 540 degrees on my G25 both hardware and ingame. Since this game seems developed for 360degree wheels, I have to tune my cars to run with 24-25 steering ratio to compensate.

betterstranger · 22 April 11, 20:52

450 or 540 @DFP depending on my mood ;P

Vanon · 22 April 11, 20:55

G27, 470 in profiler and game

gtf1 · 22 April 11, 23:13

540 here (DFGT); absolute minimum.

Jonzy · 23 April 11, 19:13

Well, I'm surprised with the results. I might conclude, whatever you feel comfortable with

I found myself to lower my wheel range from 540 to 470 at the moment, I am in mB career with a lot of S tracks, going fast from right to left and vice versa is a pain with a wider angle. The morning after my muscles are crying.

gaabrysz · 23 April 11, 19:46

540 and it works great for me

Always use 180 in every game

Jonzy · 24 April 11, 17:10

I just discover that steering speed sensitivity plays a lot with the steering angle. 0%@540 is totally different with 100%@540.

100% is very laggy response whereas 0% is snappier.

Shinzah · 24 April 11, 18:15

Sens is like steering lock I guess

50% should be 1:1 with your wheel rotation, and above or below that become slightly unpredictable, theres a thread about it

Jonzy · 24 April 11, 18:24

Sorry I meant speed sensitivity... I tend to mix up the two. Well I guess it can get easily mixed up by anyone

Captain Slow · 24 April 11, 18:40

200 degrees

That's the whole point of speed sensitivity, what else did you expect?

When set too anything higher than 0%, it will make your car react slower to steering when driving at high speed. The faster you go, the more you have to turn the wheel to get a reaction.

IMO it really should be kept at 0% for all wheel users.

Jonzy · 24 April 11, 23:01

100% is misleading, I thought it was 100%=more responsive.
