We are working on the problems with advanced joysticks and HOTAS.In the meantime:fixed crashes near explosionsfixed wrong Quick Combat achievementsfixed high CPU usage in menusfixed Windows color scheme after exiting the game (you may have to lock and unlock your computer once)Until a patch for joystick problems is available, this information may help:ADF tries to pick up the joystick that is set as default in the DirectInput settings, a.k.a. Joysticks and Controllers control panel.X/Y axes map to roll/pitch.Z axis, if present, maps to throttle. If the axis is not provided, keyboard should control throttle.rZ a.k.a. Rotation Z axis, if present, maps to rudder. If the axis is not provided, keyboard controls rudder. We see that keyboard sometimes does not take effect.The first four joystick buttons map to fire, switch AA weapons, switch AG weapons, and switch to next target.
