Bind the joystick axises to the different directions you turn your ship.

Ah, well try to change the axis number.
The one I posted was just an example.

Try
ControlMap.addAxisToAxisMapping c_PIRoll IDFGameController_0 IDAxis_3 0 1
or
ControlMap.addAxisToAxisMapping c_PIRoll IDFGameController_0 IDAxis_4 0 1
etc

Im using a joystik(Saitek X52) in FS, and it works fine. Try to unplug it and plug it back in and start the game.

I know the first battlefield games had some serious issues with sticks, I had to manually add it to the control settings file, but I thought they fixed it for BF2/2142.

You can allways try this(I take no responsiblity for it, so make a backup);

-Go to My Documents\Battlefield 2142\Profiles\000* Where * is your profile.
-Open Controls.con and scroll down to ControlMap.create HelicopterPlayerInputControlMap.
Add these lines in the appropriate places.

ControlMap.addAxisToAxisMapping c_PIYaw IDFGameController_0 IDAxis_5 0 1
ControlMap.addAxisToAxisMapping c_PIPitch IDFGameController_0 IDAxis_1 1 1
ControlMap.addAxisToAxisMapping c_PIRoll IDFGameController_0 IDAxis_0 0 1
ControlMap.addAxisToAxisMapping c_PIThrottle IDFGameController_0 IDAxis_2 1 1
ControlMap.addButtonToTriggerMapping c_PIFire IDFGameController_0 IDButton_0 0 1
ControlMap.addButtonToTriggerMapping c_PIAltFire IDFGameController_0 IDButton_1 0 1

Save the file(after you make a backup) and make it read-only.
The axis/button numbers might differ, so youre probably gonna have to change it.

Hope it helps.

Remember that it needs to be plugged into your computer .

Seriously, though, have you checked the sensitivity settings? Or, for that matter, assigned things like rudder, roll and pitch to joystick buttons in the first place? I know these are basic things, I just wanted to make sure.

I prefer joysticks, too, I've been playing flight sims for a while and now I can't bear flying with a mouse and keyboard.
