Steering of cars with a mouse is too responsible on high speed.
Assigned, WishlistPublic

Description

Problem is simle.
When i drive the car with slow or medium (eg. BMW-like SUV up to 100 km/h) mouse sensitivity allows to steer the car in proper way. However on high speed (150+) mouse sensitivity is far too high.
PROPOSITION: add separate slider for mouse sensitivity of vehicles steering or correct the sensitivity model.

Hello, im unable to reproduce the issue. The cars for me steer normally. Are you sure you are using vanilla content?

My mouse settings:

revMouse=0;
mouseSmoothing=3;
mouseAcceleration=0;
mouseSensitivityX=0.86363655;
mouseSensitivityY=1.0438869;

Used mods: none.

Well, probably this is quiet subjective, however i have real problem with steering with high speeds using a mouse. BMW-like car overreact on even small movement of mouse. Because of this there is hard to make a wide smooth turn. I will try to make a video with this.

Additionaly this BMW-like car often fall on the side when i make a "Moose test" (i think i can do it easily with the speed about 80-100 km/h). This is quiet funny.

Sorry for big delay.
To the point, here is video:
https://youtu.be/3BLKUBrlhk8

I tried drive best i can (i made some excercises).

Please notice especially two fragments:
0:32 - i try to pass soft curve. As you see car is oversteering (it is proper in rear-wheel drive) however i have big troubles to counter with a steering wheel (mouse) to compensate those force. Mouse is just to responsive.
1:30 - I little bit forced a slip and then tried to back to the road. Of course tree finished it quickly, however once again my swings probably would be bigger and bigger and would cause finally 180 degree turn.

In both cases moves of the mouse on the table were around 2-4 milimeters (i have not too sensitive mouse).
I tried to figure out how fast i have to be and i noticed this problem escalates near 180-190 km/h (my top speed in SUV was about 225 km/h). Below this spped steering response is fast but able to control.

What i am trying to say is that counter with a mouse influence the direction too much.

I can't reproduce moose test. Forget about it.
And one additional remark: i'am not specialist, but shouldn't front crash with 200 km/h end with instant dead?
