Gladiator (Non PRO) Continuous roll and throttle is always reversed

When I use windows or Wizzo to calibrate my Gladiator. Everything looks OK.
But when I get into a game, the thing I'm trying to fly is constantly rolling (left side down), and I end up in a constant spin.

Also the throttle is reversed. Pushing forward makes me go slower and pulling back makes me go faster.
I have clicked the button in Wizzo to reverse the throttle axis, and it appears to be well remembered after a reboot, but the behavior remains unchanged. The throttle is always reversed, no matter what I set it to.

I think the other controls are OK but its difficult to tell, because I cannot really get past these 2 points.

I have tried 2 different games with the same result in both (Xwing Alliance and Star Citizen).

Any help anyone can kindly give, is greatly appreciated.

Do not apply Windows calibration to VKB devices. WIZZO or VKBDevCfg only. Download VKBJoytester http://ftp.vkb-sim.pro/Programms/VKB_JoyTester.zip and run. Please send a screenshot of this program. It will show axis position.
About throttle reverce. Usually game interface allows to revert axis responce. I have not you games installed but so cannot answer exactly about them.

Thank you for the replyand the support. I am making progress.

Switching USB port from the front case panel to the rear of the motherboard has solved the "continuous roll" issue.

I loaded Star Citizen and ALL movements, Pitch, Roll, Yaw, Throttle were reversed.
So I used WIZZO and enabled the Reverse toggle for each:

The Pitch, Roll and Yaw, all correctly reversed as expected.
BUT the throttle doesnt change. Its always up for slow/stop and down for go.

As I move the throttle down (back towards me) the line on the chart moves to the top.
As I move the throrttle up (away from me) the line on thechart moves to the bottom.

It is the same if I have "reverse throttle" enabled or disabled in WIZZO.

There is this - does not work in Wizzo. While only through the configurator can be corrected by activating in the physical axes the check-box R. And then calibrate.
