F1CS2K deadzone utility

I got tired of manually editing of the PLR file everytime I've changed a setting in the game so I wrote this simple tool. Check it out, maybe you find it somewhat useful. http://1st-blaze.euhost.com/files/f1cs_dzf10.zip (160KB) From the readme: This utility will set the JoystickDeadzone entry in the respective PLR file to 0.00. The game will set this value to the default 0.20 everytime you change any of the game options, but now you you can simply Alt-Tab out of the game, run the DeadZoneFix and go back into the game, the deadzone will be set to 0.00 again.

The link's not working for me. Are you sure it's correct? Jan Loebzien wrote:

Jan, EXCELLENT! Logitech owners will be singing your praises for years to come! <G> Make sure you send this to the Blackhole Motorsports folks so they can get it posted there, too. -- JB In article <[email hidden]>, Jan Loebzien <[email hidden]> wrote:

I immediately cancelled the message but apparently it already made it to some servers. Sorry for the false alarm, as soon as I've fixed the prob I will announce it here. Jan

To be honest, that "problem" was just a lack of testing on my side. :) I was simply assuming that the corrected value (0.00) would automatically take effect (like changes to the *.veh files for instance). But it appears as if you'd have to restart the game or at least change to a different player and back, to have the game read the PLR file again. Now with my crummy joystick the deadzone changes are not all that obvious so I'm never 100% sure whether I'm driving at 0.20 or at 0.00. Therefor I'd like someone to test to utility before I release it to the public (again), if you're interested drop me a note and I'll send you the 160KB. Thanks, Jan
