Will Squadrons support Flight Sticks!!!
I have flightsticks (HOTAS) for PC and XBox One X. They work great but the last Star Wars game to support them was X-Wing Alliance. Will this new game FINALLY add support for a flightstick and thrott...

I don't have a HOTAS but i'm wondering do consoles inc. next gen consoles allow/support HOTAS joysticks etc? Because if the console itself doesn't then it would be pointless a game supporting it on console.
As for controllers, don't underestimate a controller. Xbox controllers are now used in the military for things like UAV's, weaponry and even submarines. Whilst I know the things they're used for are not manned, a controller must still offer a much better benefit in some way over a joystick for an aerial craft for the military to use them. I think in a way playing a computer game is similar to controlling a virtual drone, so the question would be is HOTAS really a better option? If you were physically sat in a manned craft yourself I could definitely see the HOTAS being top dog.
But hey i'm no pilot, I just think these are interesting questions to ask in the controller vs joystick debate. 🙂
@CarbonCarl The Series X has been stated to have "Full Compatibility" with current XBox One peripherals. So it should. If they think forcing console players to use thumbsticks to fly is fun, remove HOTAS support from the PC version and make them fly with their keyboards only. See how many copies of the game they sell then!
- @DIRTONAFrook Hey don't hate kb/m, that's all I use haha but I know what you mean, for this sort of game and this generation pretty much everything should be supported across the board.
