Remarks​

This component provides cosmetic feedback that aligns the in-scene steering wheel with the physical Fanatec Podium DD2 wheel used in the VR rig. Without it, participants using the physical wheel would see the in-game wheel remain stationary while their hands rotate — a noticeable immersion break in a driving-simulator study.

The steeringResponseCurve allows non-linear wheel rotation (e.g. a dead zone near centre, or a softer lock-to-lock feel) without code changes. The default 880° lock-to-lock range matches the Fanatec wheel's default rotation range.
