Is there a way to increase controller dead zone in GPL?  I know I can adjust
steering linearity under controller options, but I'd like to keep the
linearity where it is and just add a touch of deadzone as my controller has
been getting far too twitchy around the center position lately.  It is a
non-force feedback controller.  Thanks.

curious what your settings are (dead zone, linearity)?

I have linearity set maybe 80% in the linear direction (slider is just
slightly to the right of the "R" in "linear" on the menu).  I used DXTweak
to add between 8 - 11% deadzone to my steering axis.  I think the pot is
starting to go bad, and it was just way too jittery around the center. Now I
have to cope with the deadzone, but things are all around much more
driveable.
