What is steering non-linearity for?

Just curious

It's a little to complicated to me to explain that.
Try move the the slider a lot, and see how it affects your steering

[metpei]

With steering wheel and driving 90kph on straight road, non-linearity slider full left, you turn wheel 1mm and truck immedeatly goes off your lane, but if you move non-linearty slider little right and try again, you see now you can turn wheel 1cm and truck still is on lane.
It's for better handling on highways.

Because the steering angle in ETS or ATS is 900 degrees? Still does not make sense to me this feature

It's not simply a way to adjust the handling. To adjust the handling as metpei suggests, you'd want to move the Steering Sensitivity to adjust how much force you want the game to translate from your movement of the wheel to the actual movement in the game.

For non-linearity, when you use a wheel with 900° rotation, as the game is designed to use, you want that to be zero (slider full left) so that the movements you make with the wheel are paired directly to the movements in-game.

The slider is there for players who use wheels with less than 900° of rotation. Because when you have a wheel that only turns, for example, 180°, then the game attempts to match the 180° of your wheel to the 900° of movement in-game and a slight change on your part translates into a large change in the game. Thus, you would want to move that slider to the right, to increase the non-linearity so that the game interprets your rotation as less than it actually is.

Does it work the same way for keyboard? :D

You can't adjust Sensitivity or Non-Linearity when using keyboard steering. ;)

Actually sensitivity can be adjusted with keyboard steering and it is affect how fast wheel is steering. Non-Linearity can be adjusted too, but looks like it doesn't affect anything on keyboard
