How to reset an axis stuck at 50% in Flight Simulator ?

 

In some cases it has been reported that joysticks, throttles or any other controls
have one or more axes stuck/locked at 50% of their course in Flight Simulator.

 

Usually, reassigning the axes or creating a new profile with brand new axes assignments 
solves the issue.

 

However in some cases, even that doesn’t bring any solution.
It has been found that one reason could be a default sensitivity setting to a
flat horizontal curve with zero reactivity :

Even uninstalling drivers, rebooting the computer, changing USB port, etc. doesn’t help

 

We will step by step solve this simply by resetting the sensitivity curve.

 

STEP 1:
Go to OPTIONS -> CONTROLS, select your device in the upper list and click SENSITIVITY

Press DONE.
