Hello Maggie...
Have you set-up/tested your Joystick settings?
Windows Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers > Game Controllers (Joystick) > Right-Click = Settings > Properties....
Rotate, etc, the stick to check all the movements are OK!
When I run my FS 2004 Sim I have to rotate the stick through all its travel BEFORE I take off, to centralise everything!
