Same Issue as reported, but using Logitech X56 HOTAS as well as Logitech Pro Flight Rudder Pedals. I have many flight sim and space sim games, and in all of them I use the pedal's Z-axis for yaw.
When I attempt to map controls in SW:S, the game will allow me to map left Z-axis to "left yaw", so I know the game detects the pedals Z-axis, but it won't map right Z-axis to "right yaw".
I have even gone so far as to completely format my hard-drive, reinstall windows from scratch and downloading latest drivers from manufacturer websites (Chipset/audio/video/pedals/HOTAS/VR). What can I say, I really want to play this game!!!
I get the problem the same in VR as on flat-screen, and I have confirmed that my controller hardware is 100% with DCS World, Star Citizen, MS Flight Sim 2020, Overload, etc...
As far as Severity Level, I can also play the game, but without being able to properly setup my controls, I just don't want to... I find it very disappointing and frustrating since I have waited so long for this game.
