Z-axis shenanigans

[paulysch]

Hello,

 

So I am using Logitech Force 3D Pro as my joystick. Everything seems fine but few things: my throttle (p-axis) is flipped (meaning when I push it down to minimum irl, game understands that as maximum value and vice versa). But the main thing is about my z-axis (yaw), which gives my headaches when taxiing: 

 

No matter how hard I use my yaw, it rarelly hits the max value in game. If I start yawing slowly, it barely reaches half of total available yaw, but if I yaw quickly, rudder sometimes reaches maximum, but mostly its 3/4 of max rudder. This would be manageble, but when I center z-axis on my stick, in game rudder goes to the opposite side: for example if I apply rudder on the left and release it, the rudder does not go back to the center, it goes to the right. Sometimes it goes by a lot, sometimes by just a bit. I tried playing with sensitivity and dead zones, but it helps very little. I am all out of ideas. Help?

 

BTW, my joystick is ~8 years old, maybe it is just worn out or something might be broken?

 

However, when I played 1946, the rudder seems to be stable, so I am guessing there is something that I don't know in the game
