Game Update... Great!

[Pup]

Obviously a lot of people have complained about the deadzone with joysticks, which isn't mentioned in this patch. I haven't played any other games on my ps3 with a joystick, so I don't know if it is a general issue, so I'm wondering if it is something that is able to be fixed? It's good that issues are getting dealt with, but was kinda expecting something to do with the stick and throttle (on the hotas) deadzones too.

In title update (for PS3 only though) there will be deadzone customization.

No there is no little movement when you make a little twist of the stick the rudder moves all the way, there is no fine adjustment like it is for the XBox the rudder handles differently for both consoles. It is digital and not analog. When trying to add a little rudder it violently jerks one way or another. You and devs may not even be aware of this issue.

It is simply digital on PS3 and analogue on PC/360.
Nothing we can do.

Oh well thanks for clarifying.

So even pc sticks that have the twist feature for the ps3 are going to be like this?

Blame Saitek, not us.

Maybe you could send them a note to have that changed and make them the same? And let them know their sticks are not correct between consoles?

Anton, I received a e-mail back from Saitek and this is what they said

Hi Tim,

I forwarded this to one of the product managers directly from Saitek, and this was their response:

________________________________________

The twist is digital in Mode 1, but it's analog in Mode 2. This is because there's no set specification for stick layouts on PS3, whereas there is on Xbox 360; therefore what we had to do was configure the stick so that it matched the control layout for the major games available at the time - these were Tom Clancy's HAWX and Blazing Angels.

If the customer switches to Mode 2 then they will find that they'll get an analog response, as well as the fact that the buttons will then all be correctly assigned!

If they're in any doubt that the twist is analog in this mode then they simply need to connect it to a Windows PC and test it in Game Controllers where they will see that there is an analog response in Mode 2.

Does this mean that the rudder will work correctly in mode 2, and will all the buttons be right?
