yes, in AH you have to adjust the dampening settings and the other sensitivity settings.
go to preferences / settings / joystick / settings i believe, though i dont have the game up showing me the menus
slide the dampeneing up a bit, and take the sensitivity's (all from 10-90) and bring them down in small bunches
i personally use a reverse sine wave sort of.
hard to show but here's a try

where the 90 is full deflection, the 50 is about 60% deflection, the 30 is only about 20%, the 10 is around 5%
just an FYI also, if you were using a twisty stick you were almost definately inadvertantly giving rudder input on every move of the stick, this will take a long time to get used to (for me about 3 months), but it is totally worth it.
you will learn how rudder effects the plane much better, and be able to do manuevers you only dreamed were possible
good luck and "stick" with it (hehehe bad pun)
