Try to take the latest firmware and configurator. Take here.
By installing the software will help this oldish video :( , but the principle has remained unchanged.

p.s. I missed one more moment - after resetting to default by a button in the configurator and subsequent calibration, is this bug reproduced?

Have done this and now the No.6 axis/Rot Z has completely stopped working, it's showing full value(65535) and constantly has the POV in down position.

Movement completely gone in the Rot Z axis:

Pressing the Reset/Default button changes nothing.

What movements calibrate Gate Const microstick - in a circle or a "cross"?

Another request - do not need to quote the message of the interlocutor, if the answer is posted immediately after this message.

I have tried both "circle" and "cross", no difference. And is it really important if I quoted you or like now just hit the reply button?

Something you do wrong when calibrating, but I do not understand what. Try calibrating only 5 (RotZ) axis until the numbers are approximately the same.

Only the left value change.

Rot Z seems to be Vertical
Slider1 is horizontal, but they are both the same POV/Gate Const Microstick.

Okay, let's try another way. Change the MPL value from 8 to 9 to 5.6 axes and click Set. Calibrate. We show a screenshot of what numbers are obtained.

We return back MPL = 8, Set, we are calibrated. And if the value will again be 255, we write, instead of it, approximately the same as in the left column. Set.

No changes. I set the value to the same as in the left column and Set, still can't use the vertical movement on the POV microstick.
And then I tried calibrating it again, then it switch the right column value to 255 again.

You can try to clean the registry from incorrect entries using the program USBDeview. Choose our joystick in it and right-click it to delete (second line from the top).

Did not change anything.
But if I manually change these values and do not re-calibrate, I almost get fun travel of the Rot Z axis.

You can manually pick the right numbers, only in the correct column, which responds to the bottom of the sine curve and not calibrated.

Worked fined for about an hour or so in DCS, took a break and got back to the computer now. Haven't touched anything and now it's acting like this without any input:

Display a screenshot of the Test-External Devices tab. You can click directly on the image of the handle and base.
It is necessary to remove the handle and wipe the contacts of the stem-handle pair with alcohol.
