I would download and install FSUIPC, read the instructions on calibrating joysticks, and try calibrating the joystick.FSUIPC can also show you if you have a bias in one direction on your joystick. It is usually the twist grip rudder that gives problems but in your case maybe the pitch direction has a bias.Does the joystick come with drivers, and calibration on its own?

I installed FSUIPC and found out that the joystick probably has got a slight pitch bias. I tried another flightsim games like FLANKER 2.0 and there is a same problem. So I installed another game F-22 AIR DOMINANCE FIGHTER and guess what. NO PROBLEM!!! Wo what is wrong. I do not understand. When there is a problem with the stick, it should make problems with all the games. But it does not. What do you think?Tomas

If you look in your fs2002 folder, you will find a devices.cfg file. This file has many joystick/yokes devices with preset numbers. I don't know if your joystick is listed. However, these number represent sensitivities, null and switch values for the particular device. When you enter the option, settings, controls, assignments/sensitivities sections, does it show your joystick? If so, it probably used the devices.cfg to set the default settings. If you installed drivers for your joystick, it may have a calibration area for your joystick to null out the neutral point of your joystick.I can't say what your other games do to make the settings adjustments.Again, I recommend FSUIPC to calibrate your joystick/yoke, since it is external to the normal data stream and can remove any built in bias.
