#Xbox controller with wing commander privateer software#

Am I right to suspect that the Cougar’s lower gimbal is particularly likely to wear out in games that require a lot of stick movement? I know it was designed as a flight sim stick, so I wonder if it just wasn’t made for more intense usage.Ģ. Love the feel, pots are all great, buttons are good - but the lower gimbal is worn (lots of X-axis play), so I’m trying to figure out whether to fix or replace. I'm currently using a Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar. Any thoughts, or maybe obvious solutions I’ve missed?

I’ve done a few searches and seen the problem mentioned a few times, but never seen a resolution. But in Privateer under DOSBox, the joystick does nothing just off center and then responds way too quickly beyond that.

I know it’s not the stick because the joystick software registers nice and clean response as soon as either axis comes off center.

I was hoping to get some guidance on a few things joystick-related.įirst: In Privateer under DOSBox, it’s like the game imposes a large deadzone that makes fine maneuvers and aiming difficult-to-impossible. :] I recently started playing Privateer 1 on DOSBox, and will be digging up and installing a bunch of other WC games soon. The Wing Commander series was a very important part of my childhood, and DOSBox now seems good enough that I can start getting back to my roots. Really looking forward to poking around and getting involved! Can't believe it took me this long to register here! This seems like a great community.
