Couple of questions

[Anthony Machenil]

- How do I remove the hands on the steering wheel? I find them very unrealistic, especially in the F1 cars where they turn so far...
PS: The first time I tried GSCE I did not have any hands on the screen. When I started it today, suddenly there were hands on the wheel. Can't find a option to turn it off...

- On how much rotation do I have to put my steering wheel in the logitech profiler? Is 300° good?

thx!

Rotation depends on car.

I have 250 for Kart, 440 for V8, 350 for Vee, etc... Do tests

Mine is stuck on 540 degrees. But make sure to adjust your steerlock accordingly.

What do you mean with do tests? I have driven the V8's, F1's, mini coopers, etc with 300° rotation. I did not feel/see any difference.

Maybe a very noob question, but what does steering lock do exactly?

How many degrees the front wheels are turning, the default is 14 degrees so the front tires are only turning 14 degrees at full steering to either side. For me 14 degrees is far too low, not enough steering to get the car turned and much harder to catch slides since the front tires arnt turning as much. I set almost every car to 22-24 degrees, get nice responsiveness while not being twitchy and catching slides is much easier.

I mean : drive the v8 with 300 then with 500. If you dont improve your driving or laptimes, then you can keep 300. On my side I loose precision on some cars with only 300.

And for the steering lock it also depends on track sometimes.

Since I have 2 separate profiles (for cars and F1), is there a line in the PLR file where I can just set and fix the steer lock value, rather than having to change it all the time in Garage 1?

Sadly no, the default sets are 14deg for every track so if unless you created a custom set for every track for every car you'll have to change it in Garage 1 everytime.
