Steering Non-Linearity?

What does Steering Non-Linearity do? Where should I set at?

It increases/decreases the speed of turning the faster you go. If you've noticed, the faster your truck speed is the slower the steering wheel turns. You can increase it to make the truck turn faster when you are going fast

This is taken from an old post but gives a very good explanation:

Non-Linearity:

You want the response as close to linear as possible, full linear is all the way to the left. Start there. If you find the steering is too sensitive, adjust the slider a little toward the right. The more non-linearity you dial in, the less sensitive the wheel will get around the centre of travel.. naturally that means the transition toward the ends of travel becomes more sensitive.

I hope you don't mind me quoting you Fury6.

I am not sure this is correct. I have read a lot of posts about non-linearity and none of them has ever indicated truck speed as having an effect. Only the speed of travel of the steering itself.

I may be wrong as I am no expert but this is the first time I have ever seen anyone saying speed of the truck affects this.

This is another post by Fury6 and again I hope you do not mind me quoting you.

There's no difference if you're using a 900 degree wheel, a 270 degree wheel or twin-stick gamepad.. just start with full linear (all the way left) and if it feels too sensitive then adjust the slider gradually further to the right until you're comfortable with how it feels.

The closer to the left the slider is the more linear the response and the more natural it will feel but also the more sensitive it will be through the centre of travel. The more toward the right the slider is, the less sensitive the steering will be through the centre but the more sensitive it will be toward the end of travel. Exactly where the slider should be is an individual thing, it depends on your actual controller and what you're comfortable with.

That sounds like sensitivity.

Linearity defines how much of the travel from your wheel should be translated to the game. The game is programmed for 900° of steering rotation. So, if you've got a 900° steering wheel, you want that slider to be all the way to the left so that your input directly matches the movement of the game. If you've got a 200° wheel, you want that slider to be somewhere far to the right, so that it translates your smaller rotation as larger and you don't see the in-game wheel snapping full lock after turning a short distance and your wheel reports full lock.
