One more TSW Calibration question....thanks

Yet another calibration question.  Just trying to see if all is working
right.

Can someone with a TSW advise me if your results are similar to mine?

When I go to the N2002 calibration screen and calibrate:

Steering/O axis.range 28-------136, raw score 83.

Brake/1 axis.range 28--------56, raw score 29.

Throttle /2 axis.range 66-------- 96, raw score 95.

Also, after calibration, the top arrow on axis O, centers itself an the ?
point, but on axis 1 and 2, the arrow settles to the far left after
calibration.  It seems like in N4, all the arrows, axis 0, 1 and 2, all
center at the ? point, but now, even in N4, I get the same result as mention
for N2002.

Any comments appreciated...really :).

You should always use the generic input driver that papy
provides as the DX routines plain suck. The papy ones will give
you a much more fine-grained pot readout and thus provide for
smoother steering input.

Really?  Hmm...I think I'm using the DX routines...  I must check this out when
I get home... :-)

 I always find that after the program hiccups and loses the calibration it
resets to Direct Input. I can tell right away, the calibration lines are all
twitchy and twitching is TERRIBLE within the sim itself. I change it to
Generic, recal and all is fine. Using a TSW2 Cup w/split axis on SB Audigy
gameport with Win98SE.
