I vote against calibrating joysticks...

In Reply to: pbasic question Posted by Stephen on 1/29/2001 9:07 PM EST: I recommend against recalibrating joysticks (and the Victors by the way -- for similar reasons). Basically the problem is that the system works just fine until it doesn't work anymore. As you move the center trims more and more off of center, you gradually lose resolution of the joysticks until the resolution so bad nothing works right. Here is what I recommend instead: Use the lights on the OI (or your handy dandy Dashboard) to provide feedback on the trim position of the joystick. In this way, you can get the joysticks set right without using valuable CPU time to scale them. There is an even strong case against re-calibrating the Victors, but that is a problem for antoher day.
