    Hi Pilots,

    Thanks again for flagging this issue to us. With Update 1.1, we've added the following fix for the HOTAS deadzone:

    • Added options in the menu called “Controller Global Deadzone" and "Flight Stick Global Deadzone” which will allow you to modify the deadzone individually for standard controllers and Flight Sticks

Agreed, great game all around so far, but this issue confused me quite a bit. what is the point of having a deadzone slider setting if the minimum is already several times more than what i normally use?

    Infinitely more than the zero I normally use.

      The deadzone is specifically on the X and Y axis.  Most people are working around this issue by using their joystick software (or Joystick Gremlin) to swap the joystick's X / Y axis to a different set of axis.  I chose rot-X and rot-Y and confirmed the deadzone is gone.

        Do you have any tips on how to do that with an X52Pro? I tried using Saitek Software but it offers no easy solution.
