Hey all, I wanted to hear some opinions from the community, to better understand what you all think of certain topic, and to evaluate potential (and very minor) tweaks in future updates. As a USB steering wheel user who drives buses/trucks, what are the reasons you prefer whichever "1:1 Behaviour" setting you're currently using? If you don't have a steering wheel, or if you have one but don't drive trucks/buses, or if you haven't compared the available 1:1 behaviours, then you can ignore this thread (since those are all essential for an informed opinion). For context, the setting is located in Options > Controls > Steering binding > 1:1 Behaviour. Here's the in-game tooltip: Thanks everyone for any feedback you can provide!
I often use 540 degrees of steering wheel rotation on any cars, often the angles of steering wheel rotation in the car are not synchronized with my real steering wheel, do you want to give the opportunity to synchronize the angles of steering wheel repetition regardless of the settings? I would also like to take this opportunity to draw attention to my ffb loss problem. https://www.beamng.com/threads/the-forced-feedback-disappears-every-5-15-minutes.98739/#post-1734244 --- Post updated --- The 1:1 mode is not always convenient, but is very authentic and adds immersiveness, I honestly didn't fully understand the point of the question.... --- Post updated --- I welcome the visual synchronization mode, in any case it can be turned off who does not like it, from an aesthetic point of view synchronization is good, from the authentic - bad, I think everyone will decide for himself how he likes it better) for myself I can not yet decide, perhaps I would use this setting
Faster if needed on my 1080° T300RS as it gives better fidelity around the center parts which is more beneficial to be when going faster in heavy vehicles, eg. on highways where using Disabled if needed would be too sensitive as compared to real life (1:1). I think it's a good compromise of better stability when you're turning the wheel moderate amounts from medium to high speeds where subtle movements are preferred (such as when driving a loaded, top heavy truck) with the ability to use all of the given lock, as the latter moments when driving normally be extremely slow where the increased sensitivity is not really a problem. I don't know the plans for this, however a sort of steer-by-wire replica may be interesting as an optional setting similar to the Faster if needed that I use. Where at slow speeds, the vehicle would respond with the equivalent of Disabled however switch to a Faster if needed as it speeds up where more subtle movements are preferred, very similar to how the Lexus RZ and the new Cybertruck handle steer-by-wire. The reasons I listed mainly concern vehicles with more lock than the USB wheel as most cars' wheels turn less or negligibly more than my T300, so I drive them as pretty much normal either way
Question is mainly to help decide between 1:1 behavior "faster if needed" or "disabled if needed" Goal is not to sync steering wheel prop rotation with the real wheel, as that is defined on vehicle side and is part of the vehicle design. But rather decide on what option of dealing with higher angles for wheels with lower steering rotation is preferable
Not only that, but the goal is also to figure out if there's a new, not-yet-existing setting that might get closer to what people want than the 4 current behaviours - that would be a best case scenario, where we might be able to improve even more instead of settling with what we have atm. This is why I mainly ask for "reasons", rather than merely asking which existing setting you have chosen.
This is already possible, it's the reason we offer various "1:1" settings in Options > Controls > Force feedback > edit Steering binding. If you're not familiar with those settings then you don't need to reply to this thread, as this thread is requesting feedback from those who know how to use "1:1" settings.
