Cyborg EVO Force Problem with Rudder Calibration, always steers right!

[cbickell]

NM I spoke too soon, still messes up in BF2... trying to fly a chopper that's always going right is near impossible, looks like I will have to return the evo.

I also have that problem... but my real big problem is I live in a country outside US and I can not send it back to Amazon.....

thanks for your help but could you please tell a bit more in detail about how to use dxtweak, as i have never used it before and find it quite hard to understand. managed to download the program.

I have the same problem. Joystick always steers right in games, controller properties and JoyTester2.

Hi,

Download the latest drivers and software from this link:

This will add a deadzone adjustment option into the Properties for the stick in Game Controllers. Use it to apply enough deadzone to exclude the slight drift on the rudder and you should then be fine.

This did not add the deadzone adjustment in my game controller properties. I use the Cyborg 3D Rumble Stick.

I've just checked again and it definitely does. Make sure you are installing the driver file which is called crumble_151205_32.exe. You should get a test screen as part of the installation and you should see a deadzone tab up the top, between the Gain Settings and About tabs.

Ok, I got the drivers installed with the deadzone adjuster but I'm not sure how to adjust the deadzone to correct my rudder problem. I have tried all sorts of positions, but my plane still drifts to the left when I taxi. Any suggestions on a setting that will correct this left rudder drift???

Thanks

Just drag the central slider until it excludes/covers the position of the red line. That should ensure that the drift doesn't happen.

I dragged the slider so the red line is covered by grey, and my plane still drifts to the left when it reaches a certain speed.. Is there anything else I can try? I have Uninstalled/Reinstalled drivers, re-calibrated joystick before I installed saitek drivers.. still no luck.. One thing I noticed is in the Game controller properties, on the Test Input page it shows the rudder all the way to the left.

Thanks for your help!

Unplug the controller, click Start>Run, type regedit and click OK. In the Registry Editor browse to the following folders in order:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet
Control
MediaProperties
PrivateProperties
DirectInput

And delete the VID_06A3&PID_FF52 folder. Plug the controller back in, rotate and twist the stick fully a couple of times and see if that has fixed it.

Still drifts to the left...

I'm not ready to give up yet though! Any other suggestions???

[mattsta]

Well.. I am embarassed.. And I sincerely appologize for taking up your time .. It turns out that it was part of the Flight Simulator realism settings:

"P-Factor - Adjust the realism level of your planes real life tendency to yaw to the left due to asymetrical thrust"

Thanks so much for taking the time to help me though.. I hope this post helps other people too!!!!

I have this problem too, and have just about given up on trying to use helo's. I have the latest drivers installed. Dead zones set so that the joystick now doesn't wobble in the config screen. BF2 is patched up to the latest 1.21. I have disabled the primary control reset the secondary ones. Started game and rotated joystick before doing anything (even done this just before jumping into a chopper). Took off, got a slight right rotation, but not enough to be to intrusive... Now as soon as I make a sudden movement, like evading a missile or enemy, the controls then go completely crazy and it's uncontrolable. I end up either jumping out or just crash!!!

The EVO is a complete waste of money... and I'm really, really angry about it
I have a eclipse keyboard, which I am more than happy with. But I don't think I'll be buying another Saitek product again...

Someone's at fault with this be it EA Games or Saitek. Either way neither company is trying to find out what the issue is to solve it, which I find out of order!!!
We are paying good money for these products and no-one seems to want to solve the problem for us... It's not good enough!!!

I have a Cyborg Evo Force..
And I had all the problems with steering right and so on.. but with the deadzone adjustment in the new driver everything worked just fine..
After all the hassle I was very pleased with that stick...

And now???

I bought it 3 Months ago and it's broken!!!
The rudder isn't of any use anymore... most of the time it is full right, if I put it left and right many times wildly it will go to the left, but never recenter, will switch back to full right and all starts from the beginning...
I deleted that registry entries, reinstalled software.. did everything...
after all I tried it on two other computers... all the same problem.. the rudder just gives very strange feedback...
Why is this???
It can't be broken after 3 months??? I played only about 4 hours a week... ??
