Nah im not touching the sticks when NullDC is loading, and the sticks are centered correctly when view them throught the U360 mapping program and gamepad settings in control panel. Any suggestions what might be causing NullDC to do this, there is only one joystick plug-in i can use, so it not like i can select a different controller plug-in to try.
When i config the joystick buttons in NullDC settings, and pressing the inputs for the joystick configs its doesnt seem to give me any problems there, i have press 'enter' on say input for 'right', and left the joystick well alone and it has selected another input itself, so i dont think the stick is playing up at that point otherwise it would have selected an input as it would be jumping about all over the place.
