Comment(by kakukri):

 Big +1 for brake balance. As for wing angle, only something like a DRS or
 air-brake, where wing can only have 2 certain angles.

 Other ideas:
 - Anti-roll bars, on some cars only the front one is adjustable from
 cockpit, on others both;
 - rev limit;
 - differential settings ("locking input torque" and "max slip bias" for
 the limited slip type);
 - engine map or turbo pressure, once implemented.

 I think checking the ranges should be done on the simulation side. Well,
 the actual parameter changing can only happen there, so there is a need
 for an interface between the human driver and the simulation engine
 anyway. It is then possible to extend the GfParmRead* functions to have
 one reading not just the parameter value, but also the limits, then
 checking the value against the limits at every change.

 What type of output these dials have? Analogous or digital? A position or
 just a change (like sequential gearboxes, +1 or -1)?
