Smooth steering patch for NFS2SE

I can't believe what I've gone through to do this, but I've finally made a patch for NFS2SE that lets you adjust the controller deadzone to 0 to give a linear steering response. EA had hardcoded it to 20%. Jeez. If you use a wheel or analog joystick, you'll want this patch. It turns NFS2SE into a decent driving game. It should be appearing on http://www.nd4spd.com in the next little while. -- Neuroscience and Computer Science at University of British Columbia, Vancouver [link lost in import] [link lost in import]

Chris, Thanks for making that patch and letting us know about it! I just downloaded it, and will give it a shot as soon as I'm done NG surfing.

Chris, I did download and use your program. WOW!! NFS2 SE is MUCH better! Thanks a bunch! My dead zone is perfect (for me) at a setting of 1 with a T-2.

Thanks for all of your efforts! It works quite well.

Dloaded it today ..really does help the control... set new personal lap records on the first three courses. Thanks for the efforts. Rich PS... The next time you are digging around in the code how about eliminating the need for the CD to be inserted.

Does a patch such as this exist for NSF-SE? Does it even have the samer problem. It sure feels like it does, and id love to have a patch for it. Thanks. --Scott
