So. I currently have a steering wheel connected to my htpc. Since it wont work / get recognized by all games i play. I use xpadder to play for example Grid 3.

As far as i have understood, it simply presses the associated arrow key when i turn the wheel.

What i would like, is a software to simulate more and more frequent key presses of the arrow keys the more i turn the wheel.

Example:

Tilting a little -> 100 presses / second

Tilting more -> 200 presses / second

Tilting max -> Hold down key

Because what i currently do with the wheel is constantly shaking it a bit right, when i just want to turn a little bit right and so on.
