Support for Virpil/Advanced Hotas devices

So excited for this game. For the true simulation nerds out there, can anyone confirm if this game supports generic windows joystick devices? this ensures compatibility with ultra high end joysticks such as VKB and Virpil.

EDIT:
Aside from the deadline issue (which has a workaround I haven't bothered to use yet), my Virpil throttle and WarBRD/CM2 stick are both working pretty well. Bottom buttons on the throttle aren't registering, which isn't really an issue for me.

  • I would imagine more mainstream HOTAS setups like the Thurstmaster T.Flight ONE, and TCM 16000 would have native settings, but more advanced/niche sticks like Virpil and VKB would not.  They would absolutely work as they always do, but I wouldn't imagine the game would support out the box or have any such plug-and-play like profiles.

    Personally, I am rocking the Logitech G x56 for Squadrons and even though it is more mainstream than VKB, I would imagine even that is overkill and would still require additional programming.  Just my thoughts though.  I guess we wait and see.  

  • I have a VBK MCG Pro Gunfighter mk.3 with T-rudder pedals. For Throttle I use a Virpil MT-50 Mongoose Throttle (1st gen).

    The stick and rudder work, both are plugged into the VKB black box which then connects to my PC making it basically 1 device, but the 2nd device, the throttle, can't be bound. It works everywhere else, but I can just bind the stick in the game, not throttle unit.

    Honestly I'm waiting with playing the game for them to fix the deadzone issue and this throttle binding.. I don't want to spoil the game for myself until I can play it with the full VR + HOTAS experience.

  • Same issue - have TM warthog stick and throttle, and virpil ace rudder pedals. The rudder pedals do not appear as a controller.

    I could mess with TARGET and try to reduce the joy and throttle to 1 device and hope pedals appear.

    But removing joy and throttle the pedals still don't show up, so I don't think that will work.

    Waiting for patch when these will be seen...

    Please fix soon!!!
