I have seen a number of messages regarding joystick calibration problems in Priv 2 and this is the best way to fix it.
I had the same problem with running Dos Priv 2 in win 98.
I think it has something to do with Priv 2 not accepting
position signals beyond a certain spec.
The way around this is to delete the joy1 x/y values in the
Dark.cfg file in the Dark/Priv2 directory then restart
Priv 2.
Select the joystick/throttle etc in options but don't calibrate, then exit Priv 2 and open the config file, Note the cx and cy values then change your xl/yl values to zero and your xr value to double your cx value and your yr value
to double your cy value.
You can try to calibate your throttle in Priv 2 if you have one as mine wasn't a problem but never attempt to recalibrate your joystick as it will stuff the values.
My joystick was unusable until I did this.
Hope this helps.
Greg.
