do enlighten me... PC players have ample options for HOTAS... i've been a console player all this while and i find it very disappointing to be limited to 2 choices on the PS4 for Hotas

@kEvii_L Has anyone tried a thrust master warthog into a console? It’s a usb HID device so I don’t see why it shouldn’t work.

But on pc’s, especially flight simmers pc’s we have MFD’s, button boxes, switch panels etc, that we haven’t been able to use because SW:S had crazy artificial; filters blocking it all. It took me 3 weeks to get my rudders to work because I had to add an imaginary X-Axis to them via firmware just to pass these stupid filters/limitations.

elphaba: hopefully with this update, your hotas will work better ..
as for me, based on limited info that i've found .. for PS consoles.. only the Hori (lacking updates and functions as duplicated buttons on throttle and joystick) and Thrustmater (best options but the build quality is really bad... mine lasted 1 wk with only 10-15 games before it started drifting by itself and this is after increasing the dead zones and lowering the sensitivity).
i've decided to get a better Hotas for my console..but there are no further options for me so far which is rather disappointing..i'm swaying towards the thrustmaster T16000 fcs or logitech x56.. but seems its not supported on the PS console.

@Elphaba Implementation of extensions is on the app side rather than the kext side on the console so developers usually choose the narrowest driver package to save space.
