Hi, I recently purchased Thrustmaster Red legend edition steering wheel.

I noticed that when the car is not moving or slow, the steering wheel on cockpit view exactly represents that of my thrustmaster steering.

However, when I drive with higher speed, steering sensitive goes down. For example, when I turn my steering wheel about 30 degrees, the cockpit one only turns about 10 degrees.

Is this normal?

Or is their any option to fix this?

Or is this the defect of this product?

Thanks!!
 
The steering wheel animation does not represent how much the wheels are actually turning. Your steering sensitivity is fine.

Edit: I hope I haven't misunderstood the issue. Maybe a video of what is happening will help.
 
I'm not sure if it's intentional or not either but this is technically a good thing, because it's what you want! At low speed, you want maneuverability, at high speed, stability. For example in cars with 4 wheel steer, the back wheels turn opposite to the front wheels to reduce turning circle but at high speed they point in the direction of the front wheels, like when changing lane at high speed. In race situations you want finer control at high speed but at low speed (sharp corners/chicanes) you want quick turn, so it's good! :)
