Description

Drive any vehicle in RoR (with an animated steering wheel so you can see it clearly) with an analog controller, like a steering wheel or joystick, and steer slowly. You'll see that the steering wheel moves in ~3 degree notches, instead of moving smoothly. You can also feel the notchiness in the force feedback.

Should be fixed. The "smoothness" now depends only on the resolution of the controller. Tested with my steering wheel which seems to have only a resolution of 1024 steps. This looks still a bit notchy, but there is now way around this hardware-limit. If smooth generated values are used, it looks good.

Please test and give feedback if it is now good enough or requires improvement.

Hey, thanks for fixing this. I can't compile RoR so you'll have to either give me a binary to test, or have Lifter or one of the other coders test it.
