I got the DXDeadzone adjuster from the wingman site, but I'm not sure where
to place the slider. The default deadzone is 5%. Where are you guys setting
it at?

Thanks

The closest to zero possible.  The only problem might be related to the
quality of your wheel and your potentiometer.  Having no deadzone can
produce a very twitchy feeling on cheap wheels.  That's why the deadzone
exists, to damper the effect of neutral joystick inputs because of the small
frequency from wear.

Thanks, I appreciate the explanation. I'll set it to zero and go up from
there. I have a Logi Wingman FF, btw.
