Hi all!
It so happens that I've undusted my old win98 machine with the intent to run freespace on it and sadly my logitech extreme 3d pro is giving me woes:
it's a USB joystick and should auto calibrate, but sadly everything's off focus (including z axis and thrust, which is bizarre), the joystick itself is not that old and undamaged.
Is there a way to manually recallibrate the joystick like your run of the mill generic one or some kind of fix up to that problem or is a new purchase necessary?
thanks in advance.

if you go to the logitech web site they have a program for clearing the calibration which should reset everything. You might try running that. I've also found with the logitech that unplugging it and plugging it back in will sometimes fix the problem. Don't leave the joystick plugged in when not using it because that can also cause problems. I think the software for the joystick had a calibrate function, but I haven't used the software lately.
I've been using my extreme 3D pro for several years now. It's on it's fourth computer.

Hmm, that clearing program could prove useful!
As for unplugging, plugging, I'm doing just that, but calibration is still off.

Calibration for USB joysticks are stored in the Windows Registery. Unplugging and re-plugging often does not work for that reason.
However, I ocasionally had succes by un plugging and replugging tech in an different USB port, thus causing windows to think it was a different device for some reason and create it's own profile for it.
