Being able to adjust the "sensitivity" of my CSR-E wheel is making an important contribution to my Pursuit of Platinum which I am chronicling Here:
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=273359

I have always driven the CSR-E at "off" producing 900° steering. As I was trying to get the gold time on the Nurburgring GT course in the Vettel Challenge I found that to make corners at the speed required to win the Gold I literally had to throw the wheel to make a turn. Hardly a repeatable or controllable maneuver.

I finally decided that I would move to a more F1 type of settup. I moved to 600° sensitivity and immediately noticed a huge change. I was able to make the snap turns in a simpler and more controllable motion. I ultimately concluded that 600° was a little to sensitive because I had a tendency to over steer and scrub speed off the more gentle turns. I dropped back to 650° and won the Vettel Gold on the Ring. I then won Gold on Monza with the same setup and am now approaching Silver on Suzuka.

I have really come to appreciate this feature on my CSR-E wheel.
 
It's not only the adjustments, but the presets that make it awesome.
I can toggle between a drift mode setup, to normal mode setup without having to waddle through other functions.
Even my dslr camera doesn't have custom preset options. I'd have to pay a few more grand to get it.
 
I am wondering if anyone has an opinion on whether or not the hands turning the wheel on GT5's cockpit view correspond at all with the behaviour of the car. Basically posing the question: would there be any point in adjusting the settings on Fanatec wheels to be accurate and natural in relation to the hand animations?
