What do the advanced wheel settings do?

The advanced wheel settings allow you to adjust the way F1 2012™ processes input from your wheel:

Steering Deadzone adjusts the size of the non-responsive “dead” area around the centre of your wheel’s rotation; movements within this area will not cause the car to turn. Increase this setting to give you more "play" around the centre of the wheel.

Steering Saturation adjusts the sensitivity of the wheel. Increase this setting to reduce the amount you have to rotate the wheel to turn the car a given amount (this is especially useful if you have 900˚ rotation enabled).

Steering Linearity With linearity set to 0%, the in-game steering will respond consistently throughout the full turning arc of the wheel. Increasing this setting reduces the sensitivity of the wheel at the center of its turning arc and increases it at the edges (this is especially useful for 240˚ and 270˚ rotation wheels).

Throttle Deadzone adjusts the size of the non-responsive "dead" area at the top of the accelerator pedal's movement; movements within this area will not cause the car to accelerate. Increase this setting to give you more "play" around the top of the pedal.

Throttle Saturation adjusts the sensitivity of the throttle. Increase this setting to reduce the amount you have to depress the accelerator pedal in order to achieve a given amount of acceleration.

Brake Deadzone adjusts the size of the non-responsive "dead" area at the top of the brake pedal's movement; movements within this area will not cause the car to brake. Increase this setting to give you more "play" around the top of the pedal.

Brake Saturation adjusts the sensitivity of the brake. Increase this setting to reduce the amount you have to depress the brake pedal in order to achieve a given amount of braking.
