Might have been mine. Here's a paste of the relevant bit.
You can hex edit the dinput.dll file in your Windows/System directory to reduce
or eliminate the default Windows deadzone, which is set at 5% of device travel.
That setting works OK for a 70degree joystick, but is too much for a 270degree
wheel. You'll need a simple hex editor, which you can download from any number
of sites, such as download.com or shareware.com. Open your dinput.dll file and
go to D8BC. You'll find the value B8 05, the 05 being the value you're
interested in. Change the 05 to a smaller value, such as 02 or 01, or
eliminate the deadzone entirely by changing it to 00, which I ended up doing.
It makes your wheel feel much more precise.
Hope that does it for you,
Steve B.
