Hi all, I am using a really cheap joystick, and I was wondering what the difference is between linear and non linear steering. What should I use, for Indycar, Indycar2, and F1GP? I read that nonlinear makes a steering wheel a little less sensitive near the middle of the rotation, but will it have any effect with the joystick? please email or post an answer. -- Resistance is futile....

says... Linear steering gives a constant rate of travel from center to endpoint. non linear is less sensitive near the center and gets more sensitive towards the endpoints. This is preferrable for joysticks because steering wheels have longer travel than joysticks. Using linear steering on a joystick would probably make the car way to twitchy. -- "Just turn and burn fellas...They'll just have to drive around the mess left behind..." Julio C.
