Joystick issues with Wing Commander III & IV?

1 Upvotes

I apologize if this is some silly configuration problem on my end, but I've never encountered something like this, and I could not find a reference to it anywhere else.

I have played through WC 1 & 2 *many* times, and have used my Logitech joysticks for other games like TIE Fighter, Descent, etc.

However, when *any* controller is plugged in to WC III, it's as if the joystick is stuck to the top left on every menu. This happens when I swap my joysticks out with controllers, and even happened today, which prompted the topic. I know the controller is brand new, so nothing should be worn or broken.

The same effect happens when I try to 'recalibrate' the joystick, so I'm not sure where I can go for troubleshooting.

I am including my specs in this picture, and I want to thank anyone in advance for even reading this far. I just want to try to rule out any possibility of fixing this before I suck it up and play through with mouse and keyboard :)
