Steering

[tealts]

For the keyboard and mouse function, I've resorted to a very low steering sensitivity and no auto center. However, I am wondering if there's an existing function that makes it so that the faster the truck speed is, the less sensitivity (harder to turn) it is. And when the truck is at low speeds or stopped, the sensitivity is high (easier to turn)

Thanks

Autocenter does exactly what you're asking for.

Autocenter is a function used by steering wheels. As example if you steer your wheel to the far left and let the wheel free of your hands it will go instantly back to zero postion (straight forward) driven by the wheel motors. If you play with controller or kb/mouse autocenter will have no function.

But what you have asked for, this sensity steering, does not exist. But maybe it would be a great idea for modders even if i can´t imagine how this could be done. Guess it would be another core code and a major game change - not allowed by devs.

Sorry but you don't know what you are talking about.
There is an autocenter setting in game specifically for kb and gamepad steering. When it is turned on, it will make the steering go back to center when you let off the key or stick. It also happens to do exactly what TC is asking for.
If you turn it off, your truck will go endlessly in a circle until it hits something. It also causes the steering to get pretty wild, which is why I suspect TC has turned down the sensitivity setting.

No I can properly control the truck without auto center, it's not that hard if u bump down the sensitivity so that when you're on the highway it's easy to control. I was just seeing if it's possible for a dynamic sensitivity, where the slower u go the easier the wheel turns

Did you not even read what I wrote?

what you wrote about autocenter is correct. however, i think you're misunderstanding what the OP wants. it's generally called "speed sensitive steering" often found in racing sims/games. it's where the (let's talk mouse steering, for example) same amount of mouse movement results in less steering motion the faster you drive.

but onwards, i don't know if there's such a setting in the game when you're not using a wheel (which i am, and i don't wanna mess with my settings, so i can't check), but you've probably checked the "controls" section in the options, and so if it's not there, it'd probably be safe to say there isn't one.

but you could mess around with steering non-linearity though (if you haven't already), so the steering would be less sensitive in the center (going highway speeds you rarely need large motions).

I'm not misunderstand the OP at all. Autocenter does exactly what he wants. Autocenter does have "speed sensitive steering," by virtue of how the autocentering works. Not only is it speed sensitive, it is also steering angle sensitive. You can see this happening in the game.

Try this (Experiment #1). Use keyboard or gamepad steering and turn on autocenter. While stopped, hold the steering to the left or right. You will see the steering wheel turn at a constant speed until lock. You will also see that the steering will does not return to center when you let it go, even though autocenter is on.
Now, Move forward slowly (but not too slowly. Turn the steering, and you will see the wheel turn more slowly as the angle increases, until lock. Release steering and watch it autocenter slowly.
Now, move (significantly) faster. Turn the steering. You will see not only the angle sensitive steering from the previous trial, but also that the steering is overall slower. Release steering and watch it autocenter much faster than before.

We are ready for Experiment #2.
With autocenter on, approach an intersection with CC set at 50 km/h. Attempt to turn right without slowing down.
Now, try again, with CC set at 30 km/h. You'll see it is much easier to make the turn.

Why does turning on autocenter also enable speed and angle sensitive steering?
Because this is how "autocenter" was implemented in the game. By turning on autocenter, you're actually turning on speed and angle sensitive steering, which is what causes autocentering to happen. You can see this for yourself if you look in the physics.sii file. Autocenter is controlled by a few different variables:

steering_speed_coef
steering_angle_coef
steering_ratio_coef
steering_sensitivity_multiplier_0kmh
steering_sensitivity_multiplier_100kmh
steering_sensitivity_multiplier_minimum
steering_sensitivity_multiplier_maximum

Look in physics.sii yourself and you can see how it works.

The only problem I have wirh auto center is that the moment you let go of either left or right it'll start reverting to neutral steering position. And that results in jerky movements at high speeds on the highway

Yeah I understand that's a problem with keyboard steering, but I find it very useful with gamepad steering since I have analog control over the wheel.
Have you tried mouse steering?

[tealts]

Yea in other games, but it's like u can't take your hand off the mouse or u miss. Especially in truckersmp when u can't pause
