You can try checking the dead zone in the calibration area of your setting's for the joy stick. Just a guess.
Take Care,

There is a known Saitek problem in loading up.    If this is your problem, while the flight is loading, twist the joystick and run it through its various axis.     I have this drama and it works for me.    Despite "googling" etc for a few years, and following a fair bit of advice, I have yet to find a solution. :-/

Where's the throttle...?

I'm running the X52 Pro and occasionally have to recalibrate mid flight.

I'm not familiar with your model, but the X52 series has a very delicate connection between the stick and the throttle. If you bump it, you may cause damage to the cord or connection.

Good luck getting them to do something about it. I will be very glad when someone builds a better joystick that actually works with dependability and good tech support.

To be fair, when it works right I love it.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
