How do I remove the 'dead zone' from my wheel?

by David Mocna » Sat, 28 Jul 2001 19:37:28

I just installed Windows98 SE and got myself a new wheel (Thrustmaster
Formula Pro Digital ... I think in the States it's called "Nascar Pro
Digital"). Anyway, I can't drive and feel like the car (in GPL) just does
not respond to subtle steering inputs. I'm sure it's the 5% deadzone in
dinput.dll that Microsoft put in as the wheel will not move (on the screen)
unless I move my steering wheel good 5% off center. Well I can't stand this
so can anyone tell me (or point me to) how do I set the deadzone to 0?

Please help as I can't drive untill I get this fixed :-(

Does anyone know of something similar that will run on Windows 2000 ?
I tried DX Tweak, no joy :-(

Cheers,

And to answer to my question from elsewhere this one works with
Windows 2000. Tried it last night, the difference is startling, even
with just a joystick!

Cheers,
