    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

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.

      If the developers allowed us to change a config file, the deadzone would go away.

      Please look into the following cfg devs / support team; 

      c\users\yourname\documents\star wars squarons\steam\settings

      There are lines in the config file for both GstInput.DeadzoneFloor and GsTRender.MotionBlur. 

      If you set deadzonefloor to 0 instead of 0.2 it fixes deadzone but EAC won't let u keep it saved like that

        @DaffanZ maybe Im in the wrong place but, the folders is at C:\Users\user\Documents\STAR WARS Squadrons Steam\settings ?

        And in the settings folder, there are 3 profile files and a boot file. In the profile files, GstInput.DeadzoneFloor is not even there ?
