Hey, I have/had one of them, and my calibration in it stuffed after a while, and was really really touchy.

Does yours do the same?

well, i'm not touching the thing, and in the calibration panel, the crosshair is jittering about like a cheap optical mouse.

When i try to turn it to the left (or any direction) the f***er goes crazy! and after about 2 or 3 seconds, it usually goes to the side it should, but not in the center...

its annoying, cause i just got freespace 2 off a mate, and it seems like a good game...

not only that, but i've got it set up in windows, and windows is detecting it, but the wingman software doesnt...?

Jittering joystick you say? Is it a standard gameport joystick or USB or what? My joystick (gameport on soundcard) had that problem until I turned off interrupt based polling. Under win98 you can turn it off in the Gaming Options (found in Control Panel).

I remember quite clearly a s***load of those Vibra's had to be recalled to Creative due to falty parts. Apparently there was a component sitting behind the gameport Producing insane amounts of heat, and screwing up the gameport.

Back on topic...

Does anyone know any places which will repair my joystick, rather than me having to send it down to Logitech in Sydney?
