SOLUTION!!!!

The important issue is that the USB drivers are almost messed up in all the three individual ones in a PC or laptop. One solution was to connect a power usb hub or in my case my hard disk had extra slots of usb that can be accessed by the pc or laptop. Then calibrate it again and save the model. Sometimes it does not work, then while calibrating try the reverse directions of the yaw or roll or whichever is messed up and finally invert them, all these have to be done is completely new usb not the old ones. Hope this helps.

This is for windows 10. but still try for mac as well.

Thanks for sharing the information. Hmm it's strange that you have to re-do the calibration, you really shouldn't have to do that if you got it right once. In case it looses the calibration or there is some strange behavior like not all axis are working, it's usually some conflict with another USB device. If you have more than one input device connected at the same time (another joystick, drawing tablet etc..) that can cause a conflict.

(It might also be a problem with the USB driver. For example if you have installed vJoy/Smartpropoplus or similar software, that might cause a conflict with the USB driver).

I checked and I have no conflicting usb drivers and no other devices connected. But I agree the usb drivers are the problem but we can conclude without the above mentioned conflicts there can still be room for error. Few months back It was working great actually without any hassle...

Well, since it was working before my guess is something has changed in your operating system (There has been no changes to the input method in Freerider). I know a lot of Windows 10 users started having problems with their USB drivers some weeks back due to an automatic Windows 10 update. You might need to revert to the old drivers, you can find more information and a possible solution here:
