Welcome!
Your post somehow found its way to a low-traffic forum about technical issues with posting in Apple Support Communities. If you tell us what Mac product you have, we can ask the Hosts to move you to a more active and appropriate forum for your product.
I like flight sims and have an older X-Plane version on a geriatric Mac in the spare room. I can tell you that there are very few flight simmers around here...you will probably get a more detailed and faster response in the x-plane.org forums or the X-Plane forums at AVSIM:
I have an old Saitek joystick that I play X-Plane with, it works fine and I've never installed any drivers for it. I would think that most any USB Joystick should be ok with a game that has joystick configuration. Otherwise I have an app called Joystick Mapper I use to map things to my Xbox 360 controller sometimes. Sorry I can't be of more help. If you find any regression in the driver, make sure to make an issue and specifically mention that you are using this version of the driver. Alpha 2 should fix the issue with Xbox 360 controllers not working. The move to 1.0.0 is an attempt to move this driver to proper semantic versioning in conjunction with the modern update.

In the older version I still use (v7.30), the only 'goober' with setting up the joystick was if you tried to make the stick less sensitive, bad things starting happening.
