Oolite Bulletins

I have got the joystick to work using usb crossover in v1.71.2
My problem is, how do i get the ship to stop rolling as soon as I release the pressure on the joystick. I find it almost impossible to control when the ship carries on rolling
Grateful for any help

Cheers

P.S if it involves plists and stuff you will have to be pretty specific as I am dim as a Toch-H lamp

I'll assume this is a USB joystick we're discussing.

First off, I'm a windows/linux user, but I've been through a fair share of USB joysticks, up to the current one, an X52.

One thing I've noticed is that most USB sticks autocalibrate; some being better at it than others. None the less, I've gotten into the habit of initializing a USB stick with the following steps:

Insure the stick is unplugged before booting the computer.
Boot the machine, then plug in the stick.
Move each analog axis through it's full deflection, one axis at a time.
Run the game.

If that don't help, then you probably have something wrong with the stick, or -and this last one is very unlikely- you're encountering that odd center drift bug that have plagued Oolite pilots on windows like forever.
