Oops, typo -- make that "deflection". Sorry - my bad.
It's easy to check.
When you go to the Controls Options menu, click on the "Axes" tab, for the Category: Aircraft Assignment List look at the second "Event" down: "Elevator"
Simply left click over to the right in the "Command" column where it will show the corresponding elevator axis assignment (it'll be something like "Joystick + Y Axis")
Wiggle your joystick back and forth in the Y axis and see if the green deflection indicator actually shows full deflection (values between +1.00 and - 1.00; center should be 0.00).
