I use a Logitech G25 wheel and I noticed that the controller-adjustment called Sensitivy actually adjusts the steering-ratio of the virtual car. Left = lowest, Right = highest. I've set my G25-wheel to use the full 900 degrees of rotation giving 2.5 turns lock-to-lock and with the sensitivy set around middle the steering-ratio for the car is set to hit lock when my G25-wheel does it. If I set it fully to the right then the car's steering maxes out at a little 1.5 turns lock-to-lock and funny enough, it seemed to disregard if I adjusted the G25-wheels steering-range, really weird. There's also linearity, full right = fully linear so it's possible to use the game-wheel to steer the car with the same movements needed in a real car.

There is also a clutch and H-shift function which is said to be made for the G25-wheel and it works great, and you need to use the clutch when shifting gears otherwise it only goes out of gear and not in when you shift which is a nice realistic touch, I wish rFactor had this as well.

You can use both the game-controller and keyboard however TDU only seems to recognize one game-controller.

You can assign a hat-switch for view-shifts outside and in, however somehow you can also assign the mouse to do it like you can in the car-showrooms, however I can't find the function to set it back after I used the hat-switch. When adjusting the camera with the mouse then it stays there until you switch camera view or use the look-back function and then it resets.

isn't "Home" the default key for "reset view"
