hello people. I just bought an old analog joystick just to play Wing Commander but I can't get it to work properly.
When I start the game the cursor drifts to the upper left corner by itself. I tried calibrating it with the Ctrl + J command with the same result. The joystick has two levers to "calibrate" it on the fly, but by adjusting it by the smallest distance I can manage, the cursor drifts to the other side. It's very frustrating.
I know the joystick is not faulty as it works fine in descent and doom. In Windows it works fine, I can go and play the arcade game in the bar with no problem, but the game crashes when I try to start a mission, though that's not the matter at hand.
Maybe there's a way to create a dead zone or something like that.
The joystick is a 3 axis 4 buttons quickshot "Super Warrior" (Q-201), though the game detects it as a 2 axis 2 button controller (I'm OK with that)
