ive run calibration god knows how many times. as for the software, the game is dos and my drivers are windows. i dont think it can be forced to use windows drivers. and i doubt there is a dos version of the drivers for it. trouble is if i use the keyboard the ships turn at 1/2 speed, and the t-bolt and longbow dont turn at all. it makes missions quite hard really, not being able to turn. oh and theres no dead zone adjustment in the software anyway. time to get another stick i think...
