Civilman72,
I am assuming that by the maximum steering angle setting you mean the "Steering Lock Angle" and the "Lock to Lock time" variables or do you have a different version of the program? I believe I'm running version 6.1

Also, in verifying variables such as those, I typically obtain them from the city agency (fire department) or vehicle sites that tend to have the vehicle specfications. Do you or does anyone know of any other places where this information can be obtained? It would be helpful to know if there are any other resources outer.

Is there a way to approximate those values based on other information about the vehicle such as tire width, turning radius, etc?
 
CPENG78,

You are correct on the "Steering Lock Angle" and the "Lock to Lock time" variables.

Sometimes I have got the specs from the agency, and other times I have actually measured them in the real-world. I do not know of any other ways to approximate these values.
