Gave it a spin.
Whoa.
It takes some to adjust the controls, but this new direct input stuff is priceless!
I'm a VERY HAPPY costumer.
There's just a little gripe with one of my controllers.
I currently have connected to my PC a
HOTAS Warthog, a
Saitek Rudder (/w toebrakes), a XBox 360 Joypad, a Microsoft Strategic Commander and a Graphic Tablet.
Well, the problem is with the analog sticks of the Xbox pad as I've set them to control WASD movement.
What happens is that it's like the sticks are always non-centered as I keep having a little input.
Solved by removing it, and I didn't really troubleshoot it. So it's a non-issue for me.
I'll try to get the sim to re-check the controllers.
