This is correct: the right-hand indicator is indicating elevator position, but the left-hand indicator is indicating elevator trim, which can be adjusted with numeric keypad 7 and 1 (or is it 9 and 3) and possibly with joystick buttons/hat switch if the joystick configuration file says so.There are two problems with the joystick. First, there are two vertical "bars/arrows" in the cockpit for the "elevators", but only the "right" one is following the joystick (the "left" one always stays in the middle) - however, if I "view" the plane from "outside" I can see that both (left and right) are moving up/down.
That sounds like both the joystick and some other input device are trying to drive the controls at the same time. The other device might be the mouse, which has three modes, indicated by three different cursor shapes. Clicking the right-hand mouse button cyles around the three modes. When the cursor is a normal pointer, it is for pointing and clicking on menus and the panel controls. When it is a cross (+), it is in control of the elevators and ailerons - perhaps that is what you have. When it is a double arrow (<=>) it controls the view direction, for looking around.Second - both the "aileron" and "elevator" quite often misbehave - what I observe is that when I move them then appropriate "bars/arrows" are also moving, but every now and then the "bars/arrows" suddenly jump to the "neutral" position (and so they quite often jump between the "actual" joystick position and the "neutral" position). This can also be seen when I "view" the plane from "outside" - indeed "ailerons" and "elevators" are jumping - this makes the steering quite difficult. I monitored the joystick with an external utility and this utility does not show such problems, so it must be the "software". I did not observe such problems with the "rudder", but ... maybe it is just the "lack of experience".
Hope this helps.
