The twist is too sensitive

My iMac has a CD/DVD drive, but I posted a X-Plane 10 pendrive to avoid inserting DVD #1 every session. It functions perfectly. Another point is to connect all peripherals (stick and pedals etc.) BEFORE launching X-Plane 10. Then calibrate your peripherals within XP 10.
I have no pedals set, but instead a pitch-stick with grip throttle and a Logitech joystick with twist grip to fly helicopters.

The internal sensor is stuck or damaged, I it may be possible to open the joystick and repair it but it's unlikely.

You might clean out the registry of any left over values. Try it on another machine if it still does it, its something mechanical inside maybe stuck. I suppose its out of warranty? You cant fly with those stickers anyways if that's what you do. Scourer the junk shops for an old MS Sidewinder, they are still the best stickes ever made.

you might need to recalibrate it through the logitech program or even windows in the control panel.

i had a similar problem and the cause was i wasn't getting power from the wall socket

I have the same game but what you need to do is go to the menu on the hompage of game and go to controlls and disable it. i will post more details later

have you choosen to use the stick in the game controlls options in your games? if not you just choose using joy-stick and customize the buttons and Y-X-axis to what you preffer

then it is a internal fault is it under warranty if so id take it back and try your analog stick on the replacement one then your see if it your machine or the analog ?

I have a Saitek X-45 that I use. It comes with a throttle and joystick. It's controls are very smooth and can be adjusted for increased firmness. There are a lot of programmable buttons that work great for FS2002. The only draw back is the joystick does not have aileron control by twisting it, you have to program a rocker button on the throttle. Unless of course you go all the way and buy foot controls. It looks like the X-52 is the updated version of my controller but it isn't cheap. The X-45 works good for what I need it for.

Disconnect the joystick for a few seconds and reconnect .Keep the stick centered when you do this. If that doesn't work, try the Clear Calibration Utility. Download it here if it's not on the CD that came with the stick:- http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/downloads/software/US/EN,CRID=1786,contentid=6217,OSID=1,softwareid=5484 Try recalibrating after. Try uninstalling and re-installing the WingMan Software that came with the disc If it still doesn't calibrate then the joystick is probably faulty.
