WC3 Joystick problems

Ok I finally got this game to work execpt the joystick keeps moving to the bottom right corner of the screen. I have a MS sidewinder joystick and a playstation controller. But they both give me the same problem. I think it stems from the calibration setup in the game. When I try to calibrate them the numbers on the bottom are jumping all up and down so it's impossible to get a proper calibration.

I'm using DOSbox to run the game. It there any way to make it a little less sensitive or something? My joysticks work fine on other games. And I have tried the joystick patches allready but none of them seem to make any difference. It's also very hard when not in battle cuz my cursor is constantly moving to the bottom right of the screen.

Make sure you only have one game controler plugged in. (USB or otherwise) then make sure it's calibrated correctly in windows. Afterwards try running the game and once in flight hit alt-o and then recalibrate the joystick in the game, and hit save settings.
 
I only have 1 joystick at a time hooked up and calibrating in space or on the carrier doesn't seem to make any difference. It's just too sensitive. The raw data numbers are jumping all over the place. And I have calibratied it in windows many times. Like I said the joysticks work fine in all my other games...I can even use either one in WC4 with no problems. But something is wrong with dos box ...I think
 
Can I ask which version of dosbox you are using? Have you tried the latest version (0.72 I beleive)? From what I understand, there were joystick issues with verson 0.70 that the newer releases specifically aimed to fix.
