Can't get joystick to work with MAVProxy

I cannot get my Taranis joystick (which works fine with Mission Planner) to work with MAVProxy:

Loaded module joystick

Don't know what to do next. Please help. Been stuck on this for three days. :(

Start by reproducing the SIM_VEHICLE ArduPlane and MAVProxy commands, then inspect the mavproxy_joystick module and the listed joysticks/taranis.yml definition. Check how pygame identifies the Taranis and how the module matches it against available definitions. Done means MAVProxy recognizes the Taranis and loads the joystick without reporting “Failed to find matching joystick.”
