This joystick has become a cliche of problems amongst this forum and I deeply apologize for posting yet another problem which I, foolishly and probably personally, experience.
This problem spreads across the entire system, on all applications (X-Plane, FlightGear, etc.).
I have a rudder offset. Sounds pathetic, right? Well, the default position of the rudder stick shows a very weird, not-median number. It is offset to the right. When I continue the simulation, it seems like the rudder is heavily twisted to the right, and does not fully turn to the left, which, of course, causes problems.
I used this joystick stat program thingy to get this data without the need for screenshots and whatnot. Look at Z-Rotation, which I highlighted in bold.
Anybody who has an idea on how to recalibrate the joystick or fix the problem?
I use Mac OS X 10.11.1, latest FG version.
