Power Steering

Summary

The power steering controller is used to simulate the effects of power steering on the forces at the steering wheel.

It only affects the strength of force feedback.

The controller is set-up to allow for feedback which varies with speed,

JBeam Properties

strengthFast

name

number

type

default

Steering assistance at high speeds.

Lower values mean less force being transmitted to the wheel. 1 means the steering is essentially unassisted, while 0 means no forces are transmitted back.

strengthSlow

name

number

type

default

Steering assistance at low speeds.

Lower values mean less force being transmitted to the wheel. 1 means the steering is essentially unassisted, while 0 means no forces are transmitted back.

speedSlow

name

number

type

default

The vehicle speed (m/s) at which the strengthSlow value is used.

Under this speed, strengthSlow is used. Between this speed and speedFast, the controller will interpolate a value between strengthFast and strengthSlow.

speedFast

name

number

type

default

The vehicle speed (m/s) at which the strengthFast value is used.

Under this speed, speedFast is used. Between this speed and speedSlow, the controller will interpolate a value between strengthFast and strengthSlow.

constantOffset

name

number

type

-0.2

default

Constant modifier on the level of assistance.

Negative values means that the steering will subtract a certain amount of force transmitted after the strengthFast/Slow calculations are completed.

The game will always cap at a minimum of 0.
