I would have no idea why it would do that. Sometimes, FS does some really strange things to joystics. For instance, I was taking off in a Meljet UA 777 with normal trim a relatively heavy pay-load and with about 84% N1 thrust when the plane's noise attitude started just going up to about 30 degrees, after re-calibrating the joystick, I started another flight this time in a Boeing 737 the plane not only veered hard to the right and the nose attitude kept on increasing when the joystick was in the neutral position. The only thing that fixed the problem was disconnecting the joystick, restarting my computer and then reconnecting the joystick. I hope this helps, but I really don't why your joystick is acting strange.

Move it around in all axes 8 times. It helps with mine sometimes. Or buy a new joystick. That should work.

I think I fixed it.It hasn't been acting up for a couple of days since I put it in a different USB spot
