Is there a way to increase controller dead zone in GPL? I know I can adjust steering linearity under controller options, but I'd like to keep the linearity where it is and just add a touch of deadzone as my controller has been getting far too twitchy around the center position lately. It is a non-force feedback controller. Thanks. itazura

Get dxtweak from http://www.wingmanteam.com this works with win98 and ME and win2k but u need dx9 to make it work on win XP dan "SS" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Is there a way to increase controller dead zone in GPL?

curious what your settings are (dead zone, linearity)? DC SS <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I used DXTweak to add between 8 - 11% deadzone to my steering axis. I think the pot is starting to go bad, and it was just way too jittery around the center. Now I have to cope with the deadzone, but things are all around much more driveable. itazura
