That's not at all true. From

Advanced digital controllers use the button lines to transmit clock and data information to the Host gameport. The analog axis are use to synchronize the data transfer from the game controller, not to measure analog values as before. The controller initiates a burst of up to sixteen data clocks during which throttle, button and position data is returned. The digital values are shipped over the remaining button lines in a semi-serial fashion.

It's getting harder and harder to find a joystick/gamepad with a DB15 connector that is still flightstick compatible. If you plug a new one it, like the one described above, you won't get any usefull data from the controller.
