Hi there,
Welcome to devsupport! Sounds awesome that you’re building a DR400 simulator!
I think your best bet would be to visit the main forums and go to Discussion Hub > Home Cockpit Builders. Create a post there and tag it #arduino, if you could. There are other Arduino users there that might be able to help you out.
I have some information for you. It is not easy to emulate a joystick with an arduino board but if you switch to a RP2040 board, I have some code that has all the HID code to allow it to be seen in Windows as a controller.
You really want something like the RP2040 anyway because these are much faster and have enough ADC ports and a bunch of buttons. Just get it from Adafruit. I think this code uses their libraries.
