FYI, the game is Descent: Freespace.

Hi Evan,

You could try to add that gamepad as a generic one
using Control Panel / Game Controllers. This should
especially work well if it's a gameport analog joystick.

Thanks, I've done this, but I don't see any options to decrease the
gamepad sensitivity.

I need something that tricks all the games I play into thinking that
when the analog pad is pressed fully in one direction, it's only
"half" way pressed.

This should prevent any overly rapid movements while playing flight
sims.

Try the DXTweak utility that allows you to do things like that,

I'm currently not at my computer, but from what I read, this is
EXACTLY the kind of utility I need.

Thanks!

Evan

Downloaded the TweakDX2 last night and it sounds cool, but I keep
getting WinXP application errors when I try to run it.

SEND/DON'T SEND an error report!!!???
I'll send an error report all right...right up Billy's butt!

I've tried DXtweak2, which by all accounts should fix my problem
exactly.

Unfortunately, I am continually unable to fully run the application as
it errors out after detected the presence of my controller. I've
tried a CH (Thrustmaster?) utility that created the same error,
leading me to wonder if the drivers supplied both by Windows and XFX
for my Executioner gamepad are incompatible with Dxtweak2.

An interesting side note to this problem, and possible explanation of
the error is that my gamepad is reported as a PS2 (Playstation)
controller. Odd no?

Hi Evan,

That's quite odd indeed. I would be curious to know
what the folks who created that utility might suggest..
