So... a minor test on the joystick behavior. The archive contains four somewhat different FreeSpace Open release builds (using SVN trunk code) marked with id code. If you want to help in figuring out the preferred method for handling the joystick sensitivity/attenuation please try the builds out.
The archive - Only for windows, sorry, but i couldn't have kept it a blind trial otherwise.
What to do- Test each build with different sensitivity settings - disregarding the maximum sensitivity setting. Note that you can change the value during the mission via options screen by pressing F2
- No need to test every value, just testing with one high, one mid and one low sensitivity setting should be enough
- Using same sensitivity values for different builds may help when trying to rate the builds
- If you want to you can also rank the builds and post the ranking order into the thread
- Maximum two ( 2 ) votes per user - should you be unable to decide between a pair of builds
- Feedback and comments on the different builds is always welcome.
- Please do not test using maximum sensitivity setting as all versions use same 'ramp' with maximum joystick sensitivity setting
