Thanks,  I've had another look at this comparing the jstest output as  
before. It seems that altering the "steer sensitivity" has a marked effect  
on the dead zone.

the results I posted before with excessive dead zone were with sens.=0.08;  
if I set it to 0.18 the dead zone comes down to +/- 14000 and if I go to  
-.88 I get a much more reasonable dead zone around 500 each side.

So it seems impossible to desensitise the steering without introducing a  
huge dead zone.

I have not dug in to see how this is coded but does that makes sense to  
you?

I presume this is not the expected behaviour.

regards.
