Can't figure out how to change my deadzone. Stick drift

Post by Elvar27 »

I know where the config is and all and these the settings I have;

throttle_key=(-0.874973,0.874973)WirelessController axis 0
front_brake_key=(k)WirelessController button 4
rear_brake_key=(-0.874973,0.874973)WirelessController axis 1
left_key=(0.100000,-0.931517)WirelessController axis 5
right_key=(0.100000,0.943922)WirelessController axis 5
clutch_key=(k)WirelessController button 5
upshift_key=(k)WirelessController button 3
downshift_key=(k)WirelessController button 2
dab_key=(k)WirelessController button 1
back_up_key=(k)WirelessController button 0
lean_forward_key=(-0.084471,-0.938936)WirelessController axis 4
lean_backward_key=(0.077404,0.938465)WirelessController axis 4

I simple don't know what to change to increase the deadzone range. For example when I don't do anything on the start gate my bars go to the right a bit much. Anyone know anything about it? Also if there is something recommended for the game?
I play rocket league which have general deadzone recommendations. Example;(From 0.05-0.10)
And if anyone could tell me how it works would be a great help!

Increase the magnitude of the first number.

E.g. for a .2 dead zone turning left, change

left_key=(0.100000,-0.931517)WirelessController axis 5

to this

left_key=(-0.200000,-0.931517)WirelessController axis 5

Actually, looks like you had that set to pull left since the first number should have been negative due to being bound to the negative side of axis 5.
