No matter what option I use, there's a large(20%+) deadzone on X and Y axis on the joystick, making gameplay extremely frustrating and it becomes almost impossible to do any fine control during flight.

Apparently, this can be changed on the GstInput.DeadzoneFloor value in the ProfileOptions config file, but it resets after each mission anyway.

EDIT: Workaround: Used VJOY and Joystick Gremlin to reassign X-axis and Y-axis to X-Rotary and Y-Rotary and doing the proper reassingnments on the options menu(selecting VJOY as controller 1) there's NO deadzone I could observe with these axis, I upped sensitivity to 100% to improve response. I did the first mission and the beginning of the second and it seemed to work Ok.
