so, a number of people have said they don't like the turning of the ships, and i have to agree, given the new ship's joystick over-sensitivity and the frustrations of the keyboard friendly steering method used by cryengine, so i tinkered with the below settings and now it's much more likeable for me:

-go to: \steamapps\common\Racing Glider\Assets and open 'scripts.pak' for editing directly in 7zip, no need to unzip it [but back it up 1st]
-navigate to: Scripts\Entities\Vehicles\implementations\xml
-'speedranger' is the 1st ship, 'speeder' the new scooter one, right click to edit.
-find 'ArcadeWheeled' towards end of page, the main values to tweak are: steerSpeed, steerSpeedMin [+ steerSpeedScales, for the bike] lower=slower steer, higher=faster.
-close and save [temp file], and click 'ok' when 7zip prompts, to overwrite it in the .pak's archive.

CRYENGINE ref:

steerSpeed The speed at which the wheels reach full turning lock at max speed.
steerSpeedMin The speed at which the wheels reach full turning lock at zero speed.
steerRelaxation The speed at which the wheels center when you are turning then let go of the stick.

v0SteerMax The maximum steering angle at zero speed.
kvSteerMax The amount of steering degrees subtracted from v0SteerMax when speed is equal or higher than vMaxSteerMax.
vMaxSteerMax The top speed as far as steering is concerned.
