How do I get the game to use my HOTAS?
I have a Saitek x-52. It's hooked up, but the game's not recognizing it. It's set to keyboard and mouse. Maybe a dumb question, but I don't see where to switch it to HOTAS controls, Thanks

After troubleshooting this further I found that Xbox 360 elite controller is detected but non of my joysticks. Found the culprit though. You need to turn off "Generic Gamepad Configuration Support" in Steam > Settings > Controller > General Controller Settings.
Here:
Ensure you UNTICK Generic Gamepad Configuration Support, then exit out and reconnect your HOTAS. Restart the game and go to options -> controls and scroll down to the bottom of the list and you should see your HOTAS listed there like here:
Sorry had to repost this as the first post failed. Anyway, this bug should not have gotten past QA but anyway, it did and this fix solved my issue. Hope it helps you and others out.
Good Hunting.
Mine was already switched off so unfortunately this is not a valid workaround for everyone
