Controller ThumbStick smoothing

Unity Engine
1

I’m trying to figure something out, i’m using an XboxOne controller with my car game.

now using the left thumb stick which is assigned to Horizontal , joystick axis and x axis the tire snaps to the direction i turn (left/right) quickly instead of turning the tire smoothly until it reaches the max angle.
while using my keyboard input the tire turns smoothly.

now i can push it smoothly if i push the stick gently to either side but that’s not practical.

my question is, is there a way smooth that action out, going from 0 to 1 smoothly and 0 to -1.
like an incremental increase instead of snapping to 1 if i push it fast to the right?

any help is appreciated

The easiest way is probably by using Mathf.SmoothDamp().

Thanks for the response Barons, any idea how would i go to implement that with my input?
my current input script is as follows…

using System;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityStandardAssets.CrossPlatformInput;
using UnityEngine.Networking;

namespace UnityStandardAssets.Vehicles.Car
{
    [RequireComponent(typeof (CarController))]
    public class CarUserControl : NetworkBehaviour
    {
        private CarController m_Car; // the car controller we want to use

        private void Awake()
        {
            // get the car controller
            m_Car = GetComponent<CarController>();
        }

        private void FixedUpdate()
        {
            // if the player is not a local player return and don't pass controls
            if (!isLocalPlayer)
                return;
            // pass the input to the car!
            float h = CrossPlatformInputManager.GetAxis("Horizontal");
            float v = CrossPlatformInputManager.GetAxis("Vertical");
#if !MOBILE_INPUT
            if (!isLocalPlayer)
                return;
            float handbrake = CrossPlatformInputManager.GetAxis("Jump");
            m_Car.Move(h, v, v, handbrake);
            m_Car.Move(h, v, v, 0f);
#endif
        }
    }
}

Thanks for the push to the right direction again, I got to mess with it a bit before I had to leave, it partially worked the tires turned smoothly but I did something wrong that the whole position of the car gets shifted to the direction I turn, bad coding on my part, if you post any thing I’ll be sure to test when I get back.

i couldn’t figure it out still lost i even tried using Lerp that didn’t work.
