Problem
Steering or pedals feel twitchy at center or too abrupt near the end of travel.

Solution
Adjust deadzones, sensitivity, and response curves in the game.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Set steering deadzone to minimal but stable at center.
  2. Increase throttle and brake deadzones slightly if input flickers.
  3. Use linear response first; introduce mild curves only if needed.
  4. Test trail-braking and throttle modulation on a practice track.
  5. Save and iterate.

Optional methods or tools

  • Input visualizers within games to confirm stability

Best practices or tips

  • Make small, single changes and test
