Blaze53: Has anyone found a way to do anything about the joystick deadzone in X-Wing Alliance? I'm flying with a CH Fighterstick and Pro rudder pedals. In other, older games like FreeSpace and Mechwarrior 4 I get a response the minute I move my joystick. I have to move my stick a fair amount before anything is registered. if we're talking raw data (the CH uses 8-bit sensors, which is 256 positions and more than enough for the entire axis) and the axis is centered at 128 and ranging from 0 to 255, pitching forward or back or turning right or left would not register anything until around 110. That's a lot. The same goes for my pedals, though that's really not much of an issue as the roll axis is not that important. I see posts talking about a similar issue but the sticks in question always seem to be the El Cheapo types with big deadzones built-in.

Det_Bullock: Did you try the deadzone setting in the options?
I have CH products too and I don't remember having any issue with the deadzone.

Blaze53: Well, FreeSpace is fine. Mechwarrior 4 does not have a sensitivity setting. Neither do X-Wing Alliance and Independence War. Independence War 2's sensitivity settings can be changed by editing the flux.ini file, but other than that I don't have a way to change that. Currently, my deadzone settings in the CH software are zero. All movement in the software is recognized, so it's not a hardware issue.
