Now I am thinking that you have a memory usage problem.
Issue exists with different graphics configurations.
Problem appears when high memory demand is obvious.
A heavily taxed system can cause your computer to cut something in attempt to do everything.
What {HVY-E}Jinxx wrote is a possibility. I am also not abandoning the possibility of an issue with your joystick.
More than one problem at a time can occur.
Here's what you need to do next:
1) Unplug your joystick.
2) Fly the same mission without a joystick, using your keyboard to steer the plane. Have the AI on rookie status so you don't get shot soon.
3) Watch to see if there is any change in your elavator control.
4) Watch to see if FPS or stuttering changes.
If there is no change when taking the joystick out the picture, then the issue is not joystick related.
A change would indicate that the joystick software or hardware is the problem. (Slim chance, but both could be defective.)
You really need to do this procedure to be absolutely certain, even if you need to practice a few times with flying by keys.
By the way, FPS only changes in the lower single digits for me upon the appearance of AI and no change in input performance - not significant.
