And as far as the issue goes:

I go into the "Input" settings and set all my joystick controls appropriately, however when I go into a game and try to fly my craft, the throttle (when the throttle is centered out) the game is showing that the ships throttle is maxed out.  Then when I push my throttle to max, the ships throttle goes to slightly below 50%, and when I pull the throttle back the ship goes to 100% throttling.  Even when I inverse the controls, I am not able to go from 0% - 100% throttle.  Does anyone know how to properly configure this joystick without having to inverse the controls, and so it goes from 0% to 100%?

I use the stick myself.

First off all, you do need to invert the thrust axis, and I don't understand why you don't like the idea.

Second, problem with 0-100 ranging is usually fixed by standard Windows joystick calibration tools, you can google those easily. Also, making sure that you have zero deadzone and standard 1.0 sensitivity for thrust axis in KSP input settings may help.

So how did you do the input in the settings area?  I have tried starting with my throttle all the way towards me, and then pushing it forward and accepting and applying the settings; As well as starting from the throttle centered and then just pushing it forward and saving those settings, I have tried starting with it all the way forward and pulling it back, and again saving that setting.  With the sensitivity at 1.0 and a zero deadzone.   But to no avail have I been able to get it to where my throttle controller will properly throttle my craft up/down (0-100) properly.  Also to note, I have calibrated my controller within the calibration tool, to where the Z-axis is green on the bottom half and white on the top half, and to where that properly shows the exact position that I have my controller in.  Should I try using AFBW?

My bad, I've got sensitivity on 0.84 and deadzone at 0.00. Axis is inverted.

Well, maybe AFBW may help, but I personally don't experience issues you describe. Moving the axis is irrelevant for KSP settings, it simply detects the axis afaik and binds to it, it does not perform any form of calibration on it's own.

Thanks for the information.  After I installed AFBW, and callibrated that, and then set a throttle preset, with they Joy 2 axis, and then inverted it, I am able to properly use my flight stick.
