hey guys.after one year i decided to make a clean installation of windows on my rig, because it was full of useless trash.after i did, i installed steam and clod. then i plugged in my fighterstick, calibrated it via windows 7 and played cod before i installed the ch control manager software.i surprisingly realised, that the stick was way more sensitive near the center....everybody who has a fighterstick, propably knows that there is a really small space in the center, where you can move the stick without feeling the counter force of the springs.even those small inputs were suddenly recognized by the game.after testing a bit further i came to the conlusion, that it was much easier to aim precisely and doing really small corrections of my aim, and i also noticed a difference while i made a couple of landings.i could control the flare before touchdown much more smooth....and i mean really smooth.

then i installed ch control manager again and loaded my map,calibrated the stick and went back into game.well the stick was still precise, but not as much as with the windows calibration.
so i quit the game, and set the stick to direct mode.i suspected that when i use it in direct mode, that the sensitivty should be as precise as with the windows calibration, cause in the ch control manager software, when one calibrates the stick in direct mode, the software recognizes even the smallest input and shows them in the raw data.but it wasnt.as soon as i calibrate the stick with ch software, the stick gets a small, but still noticeable deadzone near the center in the game.thats annoying now that i know the difference, because i have to make a decision...either i use my really handy map with all the possible controls on the stick with its 3modes and leave the deadzone as it is, or i use windows calibration,have a really sensitive stick but loose my map.for now i uninstalled ch software and calibrated the stick with windows, and set a couple of controls to my keyboard, cause i really love the "new" accuracy of the stick.

however, what i actually would like to know is, if that is a problem connected to ch products and its software, or maybe cliffs of dover and the way it
recognizes the stick.

i wanted to ask this on ch-hangar, but the site seems to be down at the moment.

everyone who has a ch stick could try this, cause i would be really interested if someone else recognizes this difference.it takes only a couple of minutes to uninstall ch software, and in case you dont like the difference, or insist on your map, to reinstall it again.but before you delete it, safe your maps!
i really would like to know your results.
