Sorry for my bad english, just trying to hell p

There's a setting for that in the main.cfg file:

offset_pitch = 20 ; degrees tilt backwards to the neutral position

I realize that's not user friendly yet, but you would set it to "45" in your case.

As for the speed of side movement... are you saying it should actually go slower than when you push "left" and "right" on the keyboard?

I guess what you're asking is analog control. Right now it only works as a "hat" (up/down/left/right) rather than an analog stick, so that might be fixed when i finish the analog profile... if prboom supports that.

it works fine, just doesnt install properly for me.. keeps saying it has an update..

An update? oO It's a simple script... you run it once, it starts the daemon and creates the live-trigger; you run it again, it deletes the live-trigger, shutting down the daemon. Run it with an "&" at the end so it doesn't block.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?
