Why is beamng steering so bad?!?

[Electronics Geek]

I have a steering wheel (G920) and yet, using the bruckell bastion, I literally cannot turn even when the wheel was to the max turning, I know it isn't the wheel because it's totally correct when I looked in G-hub, steering I was at like 50 mph and couldn't turn 20 degrees without crashing. I would send a video but can't in discussions, there is no way to attach it

you don't do max turning in real life, do you? if you do, you either lose control or have extreme understeer as front wheels just drag instead of rolling. it's common sense to turn less than max.

i use controller and i can drive very smooth with any vehicle, however i had to adjust some settings in control or whereever those things are. adjust everything that has to do with steering, there are many settings. i don't remember all of them from head, but i do remember i was fiddling with them for days before i got it right.
things like steering linearity, deadzone, acceleration, sensitivity ..etc

you need to adjust all those settings in a way that your physical steering wheel is synced with car wheels. I say wheels, because in-game steering wheel does a good 2 spins (like in real life), but steering wheels (hardware for pc) can only do like half a turn or so. i've had 2 and both only turn like half way (90 degrees), that's why you need to sync it with car wheels. just look at car wheels and turn your steering wheel.
this also means you have to adjust acceleration and sensitivity in a way that if you turn steering wheel really fast, then car wheels turn really fast aswell.
that's best setting in any game.

it wasn't max turning, it was a curvy road level of turning at like 55 mph sometimes I would crash. I would appreciate if you elaborate on "I say wheels, because in-game steering wheel does a good 2 spins (like in real life), but steering wheels (hardware for pc) can only do like half a turn or so.

Wait, I THINK I found the issue, but I am not gonna test it yet, I was breaking as I turned instead of breaking then turning

Are you saying that as you turn your actual steering wheel, there is a point where the car's wheels stop turning, even as your steering wheel is continuing to rotate? Like the first commenter suggested, you must adjust some fundamental control settings.

Go to OPTIONS > CONTROLS > FORCE FEEDBACK, and click on XAXIS. Fix your steering angle as per recommendations then, go to "1:1 behaviour" and read carefully, because this is where you can manage the mismatch between the angle of your actual wheel and that of your car.

Or maybe, as you say, there needs to be a little braking technique adjustment...

Adjust the options. In the Controls -> Vehicle -> Steering(axis/mouse), set the filter to Wheel(direct), set the 1:1 steering angle to your wheel's angle, which is 900 on the G920, then set the "1:1 steering behavior" to "Faster if needed". In the Gameplay -> Driving Assistants, uncheck "oversteer reduction assistant", "understeer reduction assistant", "slower steering at high speed" and "limit steering at high speed"

Hey Brother I have the same set up with the stick shift this game has the most realistic gearbox I have played. I got my Wheel set up but it took me forever bro there wasn't a you tube video to make it simple. Once I got it locked in though Driving in this game became hella good fun.

Ive seen people crash IRL a lot slower than 55mph

Tune the car settings

Beamng's car variants are mostly so awful to drive. Their handling is awful and they're still very unstable, spins easily. I made my own variant and only drive it
