+1 - just picked up a Hori as its pretty much the only stick available for PS4 now due to supply chain issues, but just tried to use it with squadrons and realised its currently not really compatible, especially the thrust mapping on left stick
Me too this is frustrating
There needs to be a setting to have proportional control on thrust - where the amount of trust follows the degree of tilt of the stick.
Currently you can choose between smooth and incremental, but neither of those follow the stick.
Or the hori just needs to be recognised as a HOTAS like the thrustmaster is.

If I was you guys, I'd be furious. I'm using my older Hori FS3 on PC and it works OK other than having to use Joystick Gremlin to get it to recognize the throttle (I was furious, LOL. 10 hours wasted on Day 1). These are my settings, in case it is helpful, which it probably won't be:
There is no option for a joystick gremlin on PS4 as far as I know. Also unless the gremlin tricked the game into recognising the Hori as a HOTAS the throttle problem would persist.
Spread the word so others dont fall prey to EA's lies

Obviously there's no JG, but what actually happens when you throttle up? Just curious. If you want to spend the extra $80 a CronusMax Plus should work. I have one and used it so I could use my Hori on Xbox Ace Combat. It's basically Joystick Gremlin in a USB dongle, for want of a better term.
Edit: Of course, you shouldn't have to, but if that's what it comes down to, it's better than nothing. It's absurd that support for an official peripheral wasn't built in from Day 1.
What happens if you switch the stick to Flight mode?
This is an xbox manual, but there should be a switch that causes the throttle to be seen as an axis, and disables the analog stick on the top of the flight stick. That's how prior iterations of Hori HOTAS function:

(Also, you could cosplay as that guy from Gotham with all the guns.)
Edit: from an Amazon review:
"The latter one is quite problematic. According to the official HORI instruction manual you are supposed to choose throttle switch Setting 1 when you want to use the throttle for acceleration and deceleration of your jet fighter, but in my (particular?) case that only did work in Setting 2."
(I think this might be a PS3/PS4 switch on yours. If it only works on PS3 then yeah, you're screwed)
From what I gather, that means Setting 1 is most likely what you're looking for (the opposite of what works for AC7, as the Xbox manual seems to indicate). You'll need to remap the throttle, of course (and probably all the other movement controls).
Let me know if I've solved it.

@BillkwandoThat has helped its still not perfect but switching to setting one and remapping has made the throttle work better.
Perfect. Now I'll make you a video and suggest some button mappings.
Edit: It won't be nearly as polished as yours. 🙂

OK here we go, sorry it took so long.
To avoid confusion this is the switch I refer too, the ps4/ps3 one will just switch it off
Awesome, what does 3 do? Does that make the buttons not doubled up? LOL
No its the same, the thing works great on Ace Combat but this sadly not
Still no patch or word this issue will be fixed
My throttle now works as it should, im much happier
