Input calibration, joystick center settings available?

Is an input calibration tool available in or for Microsoft Flight Simulator?

If yes, where and how can it be accessed?

If not, does a setting (file) for joystick values such as “(joystick input raw) value of x, y-axis to be treated as joystick center (rest position)” exist? If yes, where?

This is about calibration of at least “main properties of inputs” such as center, ie. which physical input value is to be treated as which logical output value in the game for certain properties. “Sensitivity” which has a fixed center / origin and only maps input deviation from that center / origin to an “output” deviation is not sufficient, neither are deadzones. I saw the sensitivity menu and “Axis And Ohs”, they appeared to cater for the latter.

Reason for asking: My Thrustmaster T.1600M is physically centered, logically centered in Windows game controller settings panel (according to my impression) and has no lash and no observed erratic responses but in flight the center position results in (small, but not negligible) left roll and down pitch.
Sensitivity is something like positively larger 1 powered (output = sign(input) * absolute(input ^ power), power > 1) around the center which makes small input values to even smaller output values and thus unobserved small non-0 center input values should not create large output (which if contrary would explain the roll and pitch), based on the look of the curves in the sensitivity menu.

i now noticed the “Neutral” option in the sensitivity settings.

This is helpful.
