Hi Thorsten,
I suspect I know what is actually happening, at least it also happend on my
Thrustmaster Cougar.
Just try this: move all axes on the joystick to all extremes before starting
FG.
I think you are hitting on an autocalibration issue. It might be the OS or even
the joystick's own hardware.
If this is the issue you should need to do this only once per session or every
time the controller is unlpugged and replugged.
Ciao,
Alessandro
