Hi folks, FInally got over several hurdles which lay between my SBLive, my new Voodoodoo3 and my Thrustmaster SuperSport, and mostly all seems fine. But I've got what feels like a huge dead zone in the wheel, and the old trusty deadzone.exe doesn't seem to be able to find and patch the new dinput.dll to a deadzone of "0." Any other ways to do this? best, David K.
David you need to find a program called DXTweak. It will scale deadzone to any value that you would like. I'm sorry that I don't have a link for you but if you do a search on Deja.com I'm sure you'll be able to find it fairly quickly. This little program will also allow you to set the center on each axis which I've found very useful in GPL to be able to adjust the clutch so it will engage at any point you choose. It will take you a couple of run throughs to get it prefect but I've found it really makes the clutch much more comfortable to opperate when you know exactly where the clutch grabs.
