    I'm having an issue steering with my controller; until the last update it worked just fine, but now it returns to center too slowly, making driving veeery hard. It's kinda frustrating :(
    Is there some way to make the steering like it was in the previous versions of the game?

    Previous the steering was simple, raw, unfiltered inputs
    In the latest update filtering, non-linearity and deadzones were introduced.
    By default it is set to what we thought was the best (based on our preference and opinions).
    The steering will move faster or slower depending on how fast you move the stick.

    You can totally customize the non-linearity and etc. options by going in the CONTROLS menu, ticking the ADVANCED box, searching for Steering, clicking on the BIND attached to it. You will see a small window with all the settings such as non-linearity, deadzones, etcetc :)

    Grazie Nadeox, ora provo a vedere se riesco a migliorare un po' la situazione, altrimenti beh, magari è la volta buona che mi prendo un volante decente una volta per tutte :)

    English: Thank you Nadeox, I'll see if I can improve the situation a bit using the menu, otherwise I might just use this as a good excuse to go get me a decent steering wheel.. :)

    If you still cannot manage to get settings to your liking, there's a thing that may work, or may break your vehicle suspensions (depending on how realistically you move your gamepad thumbstick): choose "Direct" filtering in the binding options. This will remove all possible lag, at the possible cost of breaking suspension rods (due to unrealistically fast steering movement).

    I tried the direct steering but as you said it doesn't work well, it is extremely unrealistic.
    I would just like to make the return to center faster and eventually the steering action slightly faster then the "pad" filtering; just this.
    I found the file named input.lua and I think it is the one that I should edit to get the steering work like it used to do; can you please help me on how I should edit this file? What parameters should I change?
    Thank you in advance
