Hi can anyone help me, How to change the Deadzone on the Xbox360 controller? Even if i barely touch the left stick the steering moves. And makes it really hard to drive sometimes. I dont want it to be so sensitive.
left_key=(0.000000,-1.000000)XBOX360ForWindows(Controller) axis 0
right_key=(0.000000,1.000000)XBOX360ForWindows(Controller) axis 0
How do i edit this?
Cheers

Replace what you have with this....
left_key=(-0.100000,-1.000000)XBOX360ForWindows(Controller) axis 0
right_key=(0.100000,1.000000)XBOX360ForWindows(Controller) axis 0

I think this should be added to the faq topic, it's something that is very useful but isn't explained well so far.

make sure u have the top number as a negative and the bottom as a positive. It sounds like you have them both as the same number.
