Controls Do Not Center?
Is it just me or do the controls not center when the joystick is released back to center? In all the various simulators and games I've played flying, all with this same joystick, I've never had controls stick in the direction they were last put in *after* I recentered the joystick. I've even tried playing with the keyboard and I have the same issue; controls remain in the same position after I release the corresponding key.
I really hope this is something I can change, as these conditions make the game unplayable and I can't get a refund due to the 40+ hours it took to install the darn thing.

When flying a Real plane you have to move the controls in the opposite direction to level the airplane. Just letting loose of the controls will not bring the airplane back level. I have been flying real planes from 1980. This simulates real flight.

beside this ^ a real stick is likely wobbeling, there is no super strong spring for centering like in ur joystick, cause u have to feel "the forces" and react

yes but when i physically release my joy stick, the flight yoke (on screen) should centre and the plane hold its bank....when i release my joystick the plane keeps rolling and rolling until i hit NUM 5 on keyboard. this is not right as when you centre a yoke in the plane the roll should centre( not the plane as it will be in a bank/turn).
think the problem is that the control mapping is detecting it as digital input not analog
I have this exact issue.
I steer to the left, release my stick, yet the ingame stick remains left.

In the options i have not seen a fix for this. This is not normal at all.
I bought this on discount yesterday and ran into this problem.
Any ideas yet?
