This is another desperately important issue that needs fixing before Odyssey

For those of us on console who use a HOTAS for flight it will be impossible to play Odyssey with the current setup as currently the xbox and I believe PS4 version do NOT support controller and HOTAS at the same time like they do on PC

This will render Odyssey useless to us unless they fix it first. Stepping off your ship to have to switch to desktop and restart the game with a new controller each time is NOT an Armstrong moment and would be disastrous under fire etc.
Luckily quite a few people have already noted this and the issue is now votable on the issue tracker. If you are concerned and have a free vote, please consider hopping on over and pressing that button.

Here is the issue:

Many Thanks.

I just want to confirm that you think Frontier Development will forget and/or not care that the consoles don't support dual controller set ups before releasing what has already been a very problematic DLC to those platforms?

They never added it for SRV... they never added Keyboard remapping at all...
The hotas is a big analogue stick that is allready used to fire a great big gun on the SRV... and you controll the forward and turn rate with the hotas o that SRV if you want...
Fdev force you to chose to drive SRV with a single controll system... they can force the same on foot as the SRV is just a big 6 round footed FPS mode allready...

At this rate PC won't have Odyssey fixed till the next calendar year and Console will most definitely be delayed till beyond that. Expect it around June.. if we are ever to even get it. Possibly only for latest gen too. They still need to be aware of issues like this though BEFORE it's rolled out because it's lack of engagement and foresight that caused such an absolute travesty of a launch in the first place, let's see if they've learned their lesson.

Personally I don't think we will get it on old gen consoles and I am not buying a PS5 just to play a bolted on fps.
We haven't heard anything from Mr. B or anyone else regarding consoles since Mr. B's last public appearance back in May.

If they can nerf it enough to run on my PS4 then the quality is going to suck.

Agreed..it already looks pretty basic compared to other games on PC. And yet it's struggling massively. It SHOULD be playable at lower specs but they have a long way to go to figure out why it can't and my hope for them managing for console is down the pan

I think given enough Dev time they'll get it working ok on Xbone etc. They did wonders optimising horizons but it took a while.
Hopefully there's enough of an incentive for FDev to invest the Dev time into optimising the console version.
