Did you try to recalibrate in windows, and then in the game? Your setting file may have gotten corrupted.

You can also, if nothing else works, reverse the axis in the calibration screen

rotate stick 180 degrees  :aok











In game pull up your clipboard>options>controls>map controllers>"Y" axis>advanced>uncheck "invert axis"

Have you got the joystick the wrong way round?

you can invert the axis for the pitch,you may have checked the box for this and thats the reason it's reversed.
  Goto options,controls,mapcontrols,select pitch axis and check advanced box. Look to see if the axis is inverted,a check in the box,if not try to select invert axis and see if that solves the issue.


   hope that helps!

maybe he miss typed it, but I think he has bigger problems than an axis issue.

  LoL I never noticed that or I just assumed it was my dislexia and saw it differently!

  Depending on the type of stick it could be many problems but it sounds like the potentiometer is sending the wrong signals.
