A couple of quick questions about joysticks. I know the difference
between analog and digital... but I was told by someone today that if you
buy a digital joystick for N2 it will be crappy because when you move the
stick left.... it reads it full left and vice versa for right. In
other words... there is no gradual degrees of turning.. its just full left
or full right .. is this at all true ??? I currently use a
Microsoft Sidewinder and have no problems what soever with gameplay (i
know.. get a wheel).
<P>Secondly... I know this was discussed before regarding
DirectX 5.0. In game controllers.. what was it with the setting we
should unclick?? Was it the poll interupts ??

The Sidewinder isn't digital in the sense that most gamepads are.
Instead, the Sidewinder uses a digital-optical tracking system with no
moving parts to make it more precise and have more reliable calibration
than traditional sticks with their analog pots.
