I have a home made 4 axis controller and In N3 it feels as if I'm using a keyboard. It feels as if I have a big dead spot and right after the dead spot It feels as if I've turned full lock. You can imagine how dangerous that could be ;-) I've tried both DX and papyrus drivers from the options menu and calibrated many times but nothing I do seems to make a difference. Anyone have any ideas, suggestions, comments? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Mike Barlow Marketing Director ZGN http://bovineracing.com/zgnews.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------

Hey Mike, assuming all the pin connections are correct and the pot isn't damaged, I'd say the pot value is too large. Of course, not knowing what you used, this is just a guess. -- Slot www.slottweak.com Tweaks & Reviews "Mike Barlow" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:UmkS4.3414$[email hidden]... > I have a home made 4 axis controller and In N3 it feels as if I'm using > a keyboard.

Another couple of guesses. 1: Are you using linear taper pots ? If not they should be. 2: Did you set it up in Windows as a 4 axis joystick, if so try making a new controller and ticking the race car controller box, this I believe removes the windows deadzone. In game controllers click add, then custom and follow the directions :) -- Ian Parker == GTX_SlotCar <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:aRlS4.8010$[email hidden]... > Hey Mike, assuming all the pin connections are correct and the pot isn't > damaged, I'd say the pot value is too large.
