As many of you know, Assetto Corsa Rally is the only title that has passed our expectations over the last few months. The unexpected project from Supernova Games Studios has outshone heavily promoted titles like Project Motor Racing and Rennsport.
One of the brightest aspects of Assetto Corsa Rally is that it does not overpromise anything, and we are not expecting anything in return. This is its biggest selling point: it feels like a surprise under the Christmas tree.
Once you set up your steering wheel and pedals, you quickly notice that not every car matches your physical steering wheel. If you go to your garage, you can see that every available car has a very specific steering lock, and you cannot realistically tweak your external software for each individual car.
Dialling in the degrees of rotation for every car has a small advantage: you will feel the soft lock (your base pushing back at the end of the rotation range), but you will have to change it every time you switch cars. That is tiring and distracting.
Our advice is to find the highest steering angle used by the cars (Alfa GTA 1300 Junior) and set your external software to that value, in this case, 1332 degrees. Once in the game, you can set your soft lock to the same value regardless of the current car you are driving. Of course, you will lose the soft lock effect, but you will never need to change that value again.
Also note that turning more than 360 degrees is usually a clear sign that you have not driven the stage as you should, and the chances of actually needing that much steering input are extremely small, even in hairpins.
I found a video on this topic, so you can see it visually and follow the steps carefully.
