For all of you who play with either the analog stick or motion sensing, how do you cope with the dead zone? For those that might not know, that's the spot around the center of the range of motion that is "unresponsive": moving the stick inside the dead zone is like not moving at all.
Now I've been playing wipeout 2097 with the d-pad for a long time, but the day I tried HD with the sixaxis motion sensing, I knew I could not change back. For me, sixaxis steering is what makes the game. I love it that much.
And then, there is the dead zone. It isn't the controller's fault, sixaxis motion reports (as well as the analog stick) is silky smooth when viewed on my PC. It also changes in size when you adjust the sensitivity in-game, forcing me to play at 100% sensitivity in an attempt to make it smaller. But most importantly: it's a feature of game that *serves no purpose*, apart from annoying me!
So with a bluetooth dongle, a linux PC and a few days of hacking, I killed it. And as I expected, it's much better. I can now go *straight* without sweating at higher speeds. I'd like to beg Studio Liverpool for a "no dead zone" option in the control settings, but I really don't know how to do that.
Ideas?
