Arg, I use a generic joystick and the only games I can play are Papy's because otherwise I can't calibrate my controller. I can calibrate it in Windows okay, but when I go to a game the Y axis is always messed up. I've tried recalibrating a million times, but when I have to use Windows' settings it never works... when I calibrate in Papy's games it's always perfect. So... anyone familiar with this? In Windows the joystick appears to calibrate fine, the center is fine, it moves all the way to the four corners of the little calibration box, but it never works in games. The Y axis is always off (by off I mean it's "up" about 30% when centered and only goes to about 70% down). The joystick does have a little adjuster on the side but that doesn't help either :( My GPL Rank is -13 with this joystick and I really wanna start playing GP3 and Super 1 Karting which I just got but can't get it. Why don't these other games have in game calibration like Papy does? Even N4 has it. I know my joystick is a piece of crap but I like it. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks. dc

GP3 has in game calibration for sure, go to Options - Controls and click Calibrate Controller. Bart Westra
