Can I edit files to remove steering delay?
or steering filter. when I steer with my thumbstick the hands on steering wheel responds with a slight delay. I think in sim term its called a steering filter. or steering speed I think I can go way...

@ivun3If it’s more accuracy you want from a thumbstick. Have you tried an extender stick? I use these (pic below). Much more precise using these compared to standard length sticks
Oh cool ty, that's a great idea.
- @ivun3 that smoothing and ramp up of the input is precisely what that new steering assist introduced in F1 23 aims to achieve. There's a toggle somewhere in the game settings, have you tried disabling it?
It's an accessibility feature so to speak. Aims to aid elevate the gameplay for most pad users, but you seem to sit outside their intended audience with your skills - that's commendable, by the way ✌🏼
If disabling it does not cut it for you, then indeed we'd need to sit out some hidden line in the game files. I don't have F1 on PC, but if you manage to link me to a copy of the many editable settings files (on a DM preferably) I can give it a try. We do that on iRacing all the time!
Bear in mind that they may be in a different file than the one you used to tweak your graphic settings.
Regarding the 360 idea, @ScarDuck14 is right as far as I know. It's been explored before, but no implementation have been made due to the idea not translating as easily as we imagine. You can sort of tweak that in by messing with the linearity and saturation settings for the steering, making it so that those last degrees of the 180 range you already use ramp up to cover higher input angles, but a proper 360 range have never been successfully designed out to the best of my knowledge.
Not that it's not possible, just that it doesn't fit how the majority of players use their pads so it's hard to justify even as an alternative control scheme.
The best implementation of an alternative control scheme for pad users I know is the GT7 approach with the gyroscopic capabilities of the Dualsense and Dualshock 4
Oh, and I can vouch for the thumbstick accessories Duck is referring too! I used them a lot before getting a wheel and loved them! - @ivun3 So much more travel which obviously helps with precision
I suddenly have this really funny idea of 3d printing whole bunch of gears and levers translating a captains ship wheel to the tiny thumbstick and playing formula 1 on it. "To get the most out of the game." 😃
That would be the most funny and memorable commercial to the game. A real eye catcher if the actor is good too, and pretends to be really serious about it, teaching the camera how to drive a formula 1 going really slow and using all kinds of captains language for turn manouvers. showing control panel to be a tiny little xbox one controller.
"own the game."
@ivun3 if I'm reading you right, they've thought of that as well 😂
You will find all sorts of 3D printed accessories searching for "thumbstick wheel add-on" or the like.
On a similar vein, Thrustmaster has released this:
