Sensetivity

You can edit units.csv to reduce the max turning speed of all the ships, or ./privateer100/serialized_xml/SAVENAME/shipname.csv to reduce the max turning speed of your current ship, but that seems counterproductive. While steering will no longer be so sensitive, you simply won't be able to turn as fast.
 
What Sith Lord is looking for is a something that changes the joystick response, not the ship capabilities.

Assume that default joystick response is linear, which it probably is. This means that when I displace my joystick 50% of its possible travel to the left, my ships yaws to the left at 50% of its maximum yaw rate. If I displace my joystick 100% of its possible travel to the left, my ships yaws to the left at 100% of its maximum yaw rate. Here is the response curve (displacement - ship bahavior)
0 - 0
10 - 10
20 - 20
30 - 30
40 - 40
50 - 50
60 - 60
70 - 70
80 - 80
90 - 90
100 - 100

Here is something like what Sith Lord wants:
0 - 0
10 - 5
20 - 11
30 - 18
40 - 30
50 - 43
60 - 57
70 - 63
80 - 73
90 - 85
100 - 100

Is it possible to do this? Or can you only do it through some sort of joystick programming software, which is how I do it?
 
I agree with the need for a suitable fix for this. I just want a slightly wider area of 'no movement' around the middle than the one pixel in the exact center of the screen, it can be really frustrating. I just want the middle 16 or 25 pixels to be 0 and then do a linear progression from say pixel 6 out to the width of the screen.

Your problem is easy to fix, and not really related. Have a look at

<var name="deadband" value="0.05"/>
<var name="mouse_deadband" value="0"/>

in vegastrike config. deadband is for joystick, mouse_deadband is for mouse. increase it to have a larger dead are in the middle.
