    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

@Straatford87 That's great to hear!

However, there's generally a ton of issues with HOTA, particularly if you also have rudder pedals. If I connect throttle, stick and pedals (TM Warthog + MFG Crosswind pedals) buttons on the stick (in my case button 14) will not respond and the pedals will only respond on one axis. They work just fine in (for example) FS 2020.

It appears that more than two devices confuses the game. I need to run the TM "Target" app to combine both throttle and stick into a single virtual device in order to also be able to use my pedals. If at any point I forget to run the Target app before launching the game it becomes permanently confused.

Users of Virpil hardware report that it just all around does not work.

Anyway, great to see support. Looking forward to complete and robust controller support.
