What is steer ratio 13-1 ??
- Thread starter LazyBug
- Start date
The reason 1:1 steering ratios are almost never used is a) because the car would be insanely responsive and hard to control when you screw up, and b) the tyres would likely scrub all the time! Karts, as said before, have a 1:1 ratio, and that's fine because they're slow enough for it to be a non-issue (and it's not like you really have much of a choice anyway), but when it comes to "proper" racing cars, you'll generally find that 12:1 or 10:1 is used the most - it gives good enough response while being gradual and predictable enough to keep the car under control and look after the front tyres.
The tightest steering ratio I've seen people can get away with is 8:1, and I find that horrible to drive.

What if you would use realistic settings, seeing as you are driving a sim ?
It's not working for any real life standard road or racing car.
Expanding on what @Rhys Gardiner said. I'm guessing one of reasons to use higher steering ration in cars is because you are effectively dividing amount of torque necessary to turn front wheels. Karts are light so it isn't such big problem but in car that weight more than a ton and have very wide sticky front tires 1-1 ration would require massive effort from driver (to turn). You can see it in some cars where lack of steering help is compensated with bigger size of steering wheel (again it reduces amount of force that need to be applied by driver).
Still this don't answer question "why modern cars with steering help won't use 1-1 ratio". And I would go with what @Rhys said. It probably comes down to higher precision. I'm guessing because modern racing tires have very narrow slip angle where they work most effectively (I think about 5-6 degrees for F1). Also if ration is small steering help need to be stronger. And this could interfere with feedback that driver fingers receive from steering (Raikkonen moaned about for like a year in Lotus).

When you set up a server, you choose an admin password, you type it in the box there, become admin, and then restart a session, move to next session and so on by clicking on those buttons.Mmm thanks for all the reply about this steer ratio, i have another question ---

Whats that 'become admin' 'restart' 'next ses' 'start ses' are for ?? Nothing happen if i click them.
Thanks for the concern
Page 96 in the manual. It's not really up to date, but it does cover the basics such as those.
Yeah all this make sense, i guess may be F1 2011 is too arcade then cause i really using 90° for my wheel rotation setting & it work very well. I mean my tier 5 Lotus are able to make it into Q3 in career mode all the time vs Legend AI and needless to say my time are actually much faster than many other who play tier 3 / 4 cars.
I also use 90°-120° in Dirt 3 / Shift 2 .. all work well.
Upload it where? wagenvoort.net/rank? Instructions are on the site there, check the download link.
It's in the manual.
Or, you can try using this: http://www.lastplace-racing.com/ind...Miscellaneous/nKServerTool-v1.0.23/?Itemid=30
Yeah it come with a read me text document but nothing tell me what i have to edit for that nkservercfg.ini
Also it say i have to delete or rename nkservercfg.ini from the My Documents/netKar PRO/cfg folder but i dont have nkservercfg.ini in that folder. May be the "nKServerTool v1.0.23" is more idiot proof for user like me
Lets see.http://www.lastplace-racing.com/index.php/component/remository/func-startdown/46/?Itemid=30The netkar Pro manual: C:\nkpro13\manual\netKar PRO Manual.pdfYeah it come with a read me text document but nothing tell me what i have to edit for that nkservercfg.ini
May be the "nKServerTool v1.0.23" is more idiot proof for user like me
Server setup is from page 85 onwards, with all relevant options explained.
But yes, the server tool is simpler.
