Which genius at Microsoft is responsible for the Sidewinder software? After
weeks being unable to find the "split axes" selection because the tab was
too dark to see I now find (thanks to Jeff Murchison JR) that I have had
centring turned on all this time. This is not anywhere in the Sidewinder
Profile Editor but back in good old Control Panel!
Not to mention the wheel's habit of powering up off-centre.
Anyway, I'm now happier with the feel and particularly with being able to
opposite lock without fighting the FF. Now all I have to do is learn how to
drive the car all over again...
