Skyward sword - wiimote calibration

[Farizle]

I have an Nintendo wiimote, a motion control plus accessory (not the built in one), and have played about an hour into skyward sword no problem. On one part of the game (flying your bird for the first time), I flew my bird down to the clouds and couldn't raise myself back up no matter how high I pointed the wiimote. So I loaded a save state to find my wiimote wasn't calibrating.

Now, whenever I start the game and have to calibrate my controller, I get to the "Point the Wii Remote at the screen, and move [hand] to the center". Before I would have to point to the left of my body for it to show up, however now I can't get the hand to appear on the screen no matter which direction I point to at any height. The buttons on my wiimote work fine, but for some reason the pointer isn't showing up on screen.

I've tried it with Dolphin 3.0.235 dirty, and still nothing. Resetting comp, deleting device in bluetooth manager and reconnecting, removing batteries, nothing seems to work.

Any ideas? If the specs in my sig aren't enough, please say so.

did you have a sensorbar?
skyward calibrate every few seconds the wiimote via the sensobar...
if the sensobar is not visibile the motion goes crazy after a few seconds

I had this problem also, it takes a bit of getting uses to. You need to flap not fly! Point the wii mote ahead Then flick down and back up. The bird will then start to flap and up you go.

Every time you load a state it will go though the calibration, this is normal.

Alright, so I figured it out. Turns out there's a window to my left of where I sit, and for some reason it's where I have to point my wii remote to calibrate. But thank goodness I can recenter to my screen in-game.

I don't have a sensor bar, and so far I'm getting along fine without one.

Also, thank you for that pro flying tip. Helped A LOT. Freaking bird...

Yeah I also started without a bar, skyward does not really use a bar or the IR after the first screen. You can prove this by putting a blanket over it. It just detects your angle. Also the games tells you you can calibrate it in game by pressing the down button at certain times.
