Keyboard turn and speed correlation
Greets!
I've noticed while playing that the higher the speed of the truck the lower the maximum allowed wheel turn when i'm using a keyboard (I dont know about controller, I dont have one)
So this bascily there (I assume) to prevent the trick from tipping over in a high speed high angle turn.
Is there any way to turn this off?
I'm just fustrated that I cannot make a turn in a crossing without almost stopping the truck because my wheel wont turn over a given point no matter how "hard" I push the keyboard.

I don't know if there is a way to turn it off.

Even if you were able to turn the wheel more (like when using an actual steering wheel controller), the truck will just understeer and maybe tip over. You're simply going too fast if you can't make the turn. Or you have way too low steering sensitivity. Never had any problems with it myself.

No its not the sensitivity. When Im going at 40 kph the wheel turns only like 90 degree. When Im going under 15 the wheel turns all the way 720. So if I go at 70 kph I cannot tip the truck over in a crossing even if I wanted to. The wheel just does not turn more untill I slow down more.

turn trailer stability up ?

I think this might be attributed to the "steering non-linearity" setting in the controller options. Makes the turning gentler the faster you go so you don't flip over at speed, while still being able to turn fairly decently at low speeds

try adjusting that and see if anything happens

Under Options > Controls, try the changing the Steering Sensitivity slider. Like you, I find that the steering is too slow when using the keyboard. I wouldn't change the Steering non-linearity setting from its default for use with the keyboard as it can cause you to tip over by steering too fast.

I drive with the keyboard. Hopefully, after a year or two, I'll have a steering wheel.

Anyway, I have tipped the truck over by steering too sharply.

I had a Thrustmaster Ferrari GT Experience Racing Wheel (with Pedals), and it broke, so I had to go back to using the keyboard while I waited for my new Logitech Dring Force GT (which is much better than the Thrustmaster).
It's so hard to drive using a keyboard after using a Sterring Wheel & Pedals. :(

The non-linearity steering makes the wheel increasingly faster to turn as I keep the keyboard button down. Not the desired effect.
The Steering sensitivity increases the base speed at which the wheel turns when I keep the button down. Still not the desired effect.

I have to assume this cannot be changed by ingame options.

Use mouse for steering. Bind #1 look (in cab) to mouse left click so you can quickly look straight after turning your head and looking around (right click) before turning. I also have switchable sensitivity assigned to my middle mouse button (Razr mouse) to allow me to make those sharp quick turns easier. Use keyboard for gas/brake/cruise.

Anyone know how to unlock wheel angle lock by speed?
It's not related with non-linearity and sensitivity.

Max angle is locked by speed.
It can't use highspeed at shape turn.

I think it may be unlocked via console.

Here you go: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1467194063

But, it's for American Truck Simulator, I'm certain that it can be done for Euro Truck Simulator.

Anything that works for one works for the other. They are the exact same engine, just different scenery.

I have the same problem after the last update, it makes turning the truck very annoying. Also brakes are very poor now too. I dont like this "new physics" at all...
