Joystick Dipping?

[Sky Captain]

I couldn't think of any better word(s) to describe the little problem I've been having recently. Namely, whichever plane I'm currently flying (it does this with every aircraft) 'dips' to the right if I don't touch the controls. It's never done this till about a week ago, and nothing I do seems to help. I've tried recalibrating the joystick, reassigning the X and Y-Axis controls, but it still does it. It doesn't do this with any other game, so I'm assuming it's something in the game. Any ideas?

 

(Edit: I'm probably sounding vague on this, but I haven't encountered something like this before, at least not in a long time)

try setting the dead zone too the center.

To the center? You mean set the slider to the center ingame, or something/where else?

 

I use an M$ Sidewinder Precision 2, by the way, with no software for it installed (mainly because I don't recall where I put the CD >_>)

yes ingame on control setup page

Ah, thanks, it's 'fixed' now.

 

On a sidenote, would anyone know why my ingame throttle reaches 100% when I still have the 'real' one at 65-75% of the way forward?

Sounds like a sensitivity issue with the throttle ingame.
