I did the:
[joystick]
timed=false
setting mentioned in another thread, and while that didn't get the joystick to work, it did cause me to get more sensible numbers in calibration:
0064,0064,0064,0000 in game calibration
Pushing forward make the 3rd number 0, pushing backward made the 3rd number 127
However sideways, twist, and throttle do nothing in calibration (actually forward/back does nothing when flying.)

Buttons work fine though.
