    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 Can confirm a world of difference with my T.Flight HOTAS X on my PC. Global deadzone 0 %, X,Y,Z axiz 0%, sensitivity at 50%, this is night and day difference.

Still a tiny bit of tweaking, i think i need to add some deadzone to each axis as i think i have a 5% on the x/y.. but ya, this is 10000x improvement on reactions. Just did some practice skirmish and i can finally 'stay on target' without fighting the joystick!!!!!

Thank you for fixing this for me. I hope it's a fix for most others as well. Now it's time to get out there HOTAS crew and hopefully teach those K/M and console controller folk a lesson for picking on me whilst i was crippled 🙂

Just wanted to add, i just got into my first dogfight. I didn't get my highest kill count but damn... the amount of damage i landed was absolutely insane from what i used to be landing. I was actually able to control my ship and was able to turn n burn with Awings and actually land volleys! Such a difference from the spray and pray i was doing yesterday.

EA, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for fixing this bug. It has made me from just tolerating the game, to absolutely loving it!

Whilst i still have a few other gripes about autotarget guns and no TrackIR support, i'll leave those for the other threads. I consider this a big win for all SW fans with HOTAS. My hopes to all others who still have issues that you get it ironed out soon. There is no other way to play this game than with a perfectly functioning HOTAS!

Cheers all!
