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.
Hm... I thought that any joysticks with that sort of protocol had switched over to USB. I didn't think it would make sense to use a modern protocol with an archaic connector, but I guess they are. Nonetheless, I'd still hook it up and see what you can find in Dashboard.
