Im able to calibrate my joystick in tie fighter and game works very well, The problem is that when you are in flight you joystick contorl is very bad.
The Joystick appears to be pulling to the left, EVEN after it was calibrated correctly.
I have made a test - i do not touch to the stick after calibration, and then i can see that the stick is like been pushed to the left every couple of secconds, like someone slaps the stick and it returns to the middle.

Many people have this problem with many games. It comes down to a problem with reading the joystick port accurately when OS/2 is doing its pre-emptive multitasking thing. At any rate, Robert Manley has created and I'm helping distribute a driver which does its best to fix this problem. Many games run perfectly after installing the driver, others are being worked on. If you'd like to take a look, you can ftp the driver:
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/os2/incoming/game02a.zip
.../32bit/driver/game02a.zip
There is a joystick driver from IBM now that is _FREE_ and available from the OS/2 device driver repository. Just have to use minstall to install it.
I am also having a problem using a CH Game Card III Automatic. The system does not seem to recognize this as a vaild game controller. But I am able to use it almost fine in DOS (except for that damn twitch that the joystick driver fixes). Has there been anyone else with this problem?
