I just bought a Flightstick (a Thrustmaster t.Flightstickx) I calibrated it in the game controlers under my computer, but everytime I go to fly in CFS2 the airplane always pitches down even when I change the dead zones in the settings. Does anbody have any ideas?

p.s. there is no calibration wheel on the flight stick.

One aircraft or all? If just one or two, try adjusting the trim - use the num pad keys... 7 to pitch down, 1 to pitch up.

There is a problem with every Aircraft and after I trim it using the number pad it flys fine untill I move the flightstick, then it goes right back to its problem

After my beloved Microsoft FFB2 stick expired from years of wear and tear, i replaced it with a Thrustmaster. I tried two different units but my experience with those Thrustmaster products in CFS2 was completely negative, for reasons i could never comprehend. Did everything possible with calibrating and software upgrading, but eventually had to return them to the store for exchange. There's just some weird bug in the TM hardware driver code that seems to continuously disagree with CFS2 hardware programming.

My recommendation -- get something better. Logitech and Saitek products are good options.
