joystick problems and ?

[Wingnut_0]

I currently use a Gravis Xterminator Dual Controller for my gaming. (Hopefully wife will get me a X-36 for Xmas    It's a digital stick and I have it hooked thru the USB port.

I've tried several different suggestions for setting my stick up in this game.  All will varying results.  Using the default setting for pitch, my plane feels sluggish and if I try to do a loop (normal ride a 109 varient) even at 280mph I loop so slow that my plane basically just falls nose over at the top.
If I try to pull any harder the stall flips me around.

During all these settings..even though I don't get spikes with my JS centered, I still get massive spikes during a pull up.

My best setting, where the plane handled fairly well in all conditions was with all the 0 thru 90 sliders all the way up.  The only fall back though was increased bouncing trying to line up a shot.

Any suggestions are welcome, or if I've utterly confused anyone let me know..hehe.

You're not going to improve plane performance with your joystick settings, but it is helpful for desensitizing it.  If you pull back the stick and hold it, do you see spikes on the o'scope in the joystick setup?

AC performance increased, no, but it will at least help me do some basic moves..hehe.  Yes, if I gently pull the stick back, about half way thru the pull I start getting definate spikes...When I'm turning for example..I roll and then start pulling on the stick.  I begin to get a bouncing effect so bad that I can't aim.  It doesn't seem to be a flight model question but strictly applied to my joystick and it's actions.

I can understand a little spiking but like I said, halfway thru a pull the JS box looks like a mountain range..hehe.
