    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

    Come on lets be fair to EA. This is the 1st time I've bought an EA game on launch day and could actually log in and play it...even the single player component.

    If we ignore the fact the two main features that they based their entire PR on, VR and HOTAS, dont work in anyway, shape or form, I'd say its their most successful launch yet.

    Keep up the good work EA we love you.

      yeah this whole situation is pretty frustrating to be sure. 

      For me the VR seems to work ok, it's just the HOTAS deadzones that make it very difficult to play (and impossible to play well).

      So I'm basically just sitting back waiting for a fix before I attempt to even play the game further.

      If there are enough players like me, with bugs that are preventing them from enjoying the game, the player base may drop off. That seems like a real unfortunate outcome as the underlying game here seems really quite good and could benefit from ongoing investment and future expansion. This is what is frustrating.

        After spending over an hour configuring the crazy controls to my X52, I have stopped trying the game because of this deadzone issue.  Still waiting for a fix so I can complete my 2 hour preview before the Steam refund expires.  Its amazing that this is taking so long to resolve.

    This should be a day 1 patch fix. What the hell are you doing over there?

      A dev could fix this in a half hour. Honestly. What are you doing?
