Two quick questions and they're related. Is there any way to switch off the "virtual cockpit"? I noticed a switch in the graphics department. Right now mine is stuck on virtual or 3d or something and it's greyed out. I don't care for the moving cockpit and stearing wheel. it's distracting and is very annoying due to the fact that my steering wheel won't stop jittttteerirrring. Which leads me to my next question. Is there anyway to stop the joystick from jittering? It does it in GPL too, so I just turned it off along with those arms. I appreciate the effort to program this but everything is smoother with a static dash..(ie. nascar, longbow2, falcon4 etc.) I'm sure the frame rate would be better too. I calibrated the joystick in Windows. There's just no null zone... Thanks in advanced, LabCageV

I've noticed that most jittering from joysticks and steering wheels is because of a lack of ground. Unless ofcourse you have a digital joystick/wheel. Lack of ground can be caused by: - You are using a joystick switch. - You are using a joystick extension cable. - Other things/cables between your joystick/wheel and the computer In these cases, to solve the problem you need to wire an extra cable from the metal housing of the joystick's connector to something metal on your PC (your PC's case if that's metal), and all jittering will be gone.
