Requesting HOTAS support once again :)

Love the videos and the information so far, looks like an amazing game!


I wanted to put in a request for the return of HOTAS support - allow us to map to the axis of control for our own controllers of choice.  I am a long time BF flyer, but the last couple versions no longer support HOTAS configuration.  Hoping this returns in version 6!

    Agreed hotas support for aircraft is needed in modern games

    Agreed. Nothing quite like getting in a dogfight with a real flight stick. Please bring it back!

    I would love to be able to try out HOTAS BF ngl, but idk if they'd allow it cause iirc mixed inputs are becoming more and more banned as a way to combat xim/cronus type cheating. Know a few folks werent too happy when Apex said no more mouse aim with controller movement.

    So ig we have cheaters to thank for taking our toys away.

  • I agree to the request of HOTAS support. need it on other vehicles also. From my point of view its a big malfunction of this game. Please bring it back !!

    **bleep** so we wont be able to map flight sticks and things like rudder pedals or sim racing pedals using programs like JoyTokey?  :/

  • I've been playing BF since the beginning. I agree this is needed in a big way. At this point in time there is no reason not to have it. The cost to the developer can't be much to have this added. Arguably you likely would get enough sim pilots out there buying the game that it  would  off set the cost and potentially increase overall profit. 

  • I've been playing Battlefield since the old days with my dad on a decommissioned hospital corporate server set up for public use. It would be badass to have HOTAS again, so I can use my Thrustmaster Xbox-style controller to be a terror in the skies again. The last couple of BF's have sorely lacked this feature. You have two months to polish the game from where it stands. I urge you to strongly consider this. It will pay dividends.

  • I agree with you, it would be greatly needed. In BF4, I only control aircraft with Hotas. Interestingly, it's a 2013 game and it received this kind of support
