i didn't know if you might have had other controllers plugged in as well... we've seen that where someone was reporting errant control signals and we found out they had a RC model controller connected... once it was disconnected, everything went well for them...
i don't know which joystick file would match your joystick and i don't have a Mac... but it is possible that your joystick is returning an ID string that FG doesn't know about... can you provide more details about the stick? like the model number? is it a "Flight Stick"? i find a file that might fit but it may need to have the proper ID string added to it for your stick...
can you maybe get to a command prompt and see if "lsusb" works on your system? if it does, do you see a string for your joystick in the output? for example, mine shows this...

which tells me there's a thrustmaster joystick attached... once we know what ID String your joystick is using, we may be able to add it to the proper file and get it recognized... if that works, then we can get it added to the project so others won't have this same problem if they have the same stick... currently there are four IDs for this stick in the file i'm suspecting is where the fix needs to be made...
"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."
