I felt like modding today so I tried to get the steering wheel in place. right now it is ingame but it floats under the car so I was wondering what to adjust to get it in proper place.

than thanks edit just did some testing and troubleshooting but now the steering wheel does not show up
Does the wheel turn around the center of itself like it's supposed to, or does it rotate around the center of where the wheel is supposed to be? If it's the latter you need to make sure the origin is set to the center of the wheel model in Blender. Also appears your 'min' and 'max' rotation values are kind of high. Maybe try setting them at 360 and -360 for a full circle and see if it helps.
Props in BeamNG are very sensitive; You need a balance between what you have in Blender, and the JBeam. And to make it worse, you simply can't copy the values over from another official vehicle in most cases, because the nodes you're using to create the reference triangle for the prop are positioned differently, enough so to make it so that the prop doesn't work properly. All I can say is you need to keep adjusting things once you make sure the model is centered in Blender. Eventually you will start making progress. As for the wheel not showing up, check the console for any errors. Also, check to see if the wheel isn't off in some far away place on the map... yes this does happen; It happened to me on my Gavril Vendetta mod, and the Stryder Propeller mod project. Very, very annoying to see.
