Assign joypad central position to zero throttle

[Ucender]

I would like to control the thrust of my engines so that the central position of my joypad (XBox-like) stick correspond to zero thrust, and pushing it full forward is 100% thrust (pulling the stick would do nothing).

I tried tweaking the game settings, and I installed the very good "Davon Throttle Control systems mod", but found no option for this. The only way to adjust the "zero" point is through Windows calibration. But since KSP uses Unity, and Unity uses RawInput, this does not change anything in the game

This throttle setup is used in the excellent "Lunar Flight" game, and proved to be efficient. I wish I could control my KSP ships the same way. Could you help ?

Well, I could not find a solution, so I made one : I patched "Davon Throttle Control systems mod" and added a "Zero at center" option.

You can see it in action here : http://youtu.be/-HplnPB-63o

I could never control the ship so easily without the stick acting like a throttle pedal : it must be zero thrust when it is untouched.

PrivateFlip plans to integrate this option into future releases of his mod. Feel free to ask me the patched version if you cannot wait.
