so long as the range is the same (-1 to 1?) when the computations are done it shouldnt matter. not al joysticks are made equal. they have different gain settings, mechanical workings that differ greatly. then you have things like ch control manager, where you get fine control over the gain. some people have higher precision controllers. so long as the range is respected you wont change the way the ships handle. any changes that do occur would be no different that what you get between various kinds of joysticks.

What would really be nice is a full blown curve editor like in IL-2.  That's customization there.  And a tester to go with it to show you what the effective position is based on the real position.  That could even be done with just this.

my ch software does that.

software alone is a good reason to go with ch. there's not really a damn thing it cant do.

Full user done customization would be of course nice... But that would require creating new options screen for joystick setup and all. Though it could be done..

I just want to throw out that I think this needs to be done in some way that it doesn't have to interfere with the original behavior.  This is an instance where a command line option shouldn't cause any headaches for anyone by not having them enabled, so I think leaving retail default in place unless a "Use Alt JS Mode A, Use Alt Mode B, etc" option is enabled would make sense here.  Once an in game menu for command line options is developed, it could be translated to a radiobutton-style option.

Well... i would agree if i would think there was anything to be saved from the original sensitivity setting. However as there IMO are no redeeming qualities i cant see why the earlier behavior should be kept.
