Deadzone adjustment

Hi there

I just thought I'd add my 2 cents worth.
A deadzone adjustment of some sort would make everything so much eaiser.

My old joystick worked a treat but my saitek evo just cannot find a happy zero point.
This is on MS win2k BTW.

I looked into using some sort of j manager but aparently you cannot adjust it that way ( some sort of limitation of direct x)

I must point out though that it is not over sensitive, if you push the handle all of the way up the nose goes down at just the right speed.

Finaly
How about support for forcefeedback for a laugh.

Cheers

Hi Frayja2002 - welcome to the Forums.

I think I must be one of the few (PC) users who seems to have never had a problem with his stick - actually I haven't got a stick I've got a Thrustmaster Dual Power two stick analogue/digital gamepad and it works brilliantly. However, to get back to your issue I thought you could set up a deadzone when you calibrate the joystick actually in Windows itself - this is what I've done in the past when I had a cheap and cheerful stick from Tesco and it had a terrible centering issue.

There are a few people currently slipping into the code at the moment so if you're lucky somebody may look into it for you (and others).

Forcefeed back would be nice though - a steady rumble when you hit the injectors are a kick when you take laser fire....
