Hi all! I bought a couple Dual Shock pads (PS2 style ones ) there a few days ago but I have a problem. Whenever I'm playing LFS, the stick seems to go a bit to the left making the steering go a bit to the left, I can't see it in the actual pad itself but I can see it in the controls menu in LFS so registers it as off center. I also tested it out in the control panel and it seems that even tho it seems its not off center, I think it has a larger deadzone than LFS because when I move the stick to the left, it takes a while to respond but when I move it to the right, it responds straight away. I know that it seems that they're pretty much crappy pads. So if any1 here knows how I can center the sticks, please let me know, I'd really appreciate it . Thanks!

go to options and click controls... then click whee/js then click on the axis tab down below... recalibrate it... turn it to the right then left try your best to center it then click yes in i think calibration lock? after that it should be fine

When my PS2 sticks stick to the left or right, I smash it on the desk, and it works fine again.

Not that I am promoting such action, but maybe your controller needs some straightening out. Opening it and cleaning any dust (it may be new, but dust can still get in) inside may be worth doing.

I tried the recalibrate thing, didn't work . I didn't try the locking but still, even in Windows, its still off center .

The Joystickis like that for some reason

Hmmm.... I used to use a pad like that but never had the problem when it was new. The sticks did get sticky after a while so I did what Bob did but it got so bad one night while racing I had to smash it. It's all good though, I have a G25 now.

It means your joysticks are a bit sensitive, best thing i dont know if LFS have this this or not but to adjust the dead zone and the steering sensitivity,

Also i couldn't assign my right joystick to accel and braking,,,, how did you do it ?

Another epic bump is epic.

What controller do you even have?
