Additional Controls Please

[Cmdr_Prussian]

Hey,

in order to streamline the games compatibility with all types of control devices OR tidy up the fire groups for essential things, please consider the following options. I know the controls setup has come a long way, but I also think my suggestions will not be too hard to implement:

1. Allow the Hold/Toggle Option for ALL options. For example, I would need it for my Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle, because the switches on it are basically HOLD buttons, not toggle ones.
2. Allow us to defign separate buttons for modules like Scanners, AX ECM, and especially all the drone controllers. i have collector, repair and decon drones right now and it is more of a hassle than it should be.

Best regards,
Prussian

I realize that there are multiple way to go around this, including using the thrustmaster software. however, that wouldm ean programming my entire HOTAS, as i cant just program one specific thing while the rest stays on default. additionally, i have to run the script every time before i play.

So a buttload of work and driver interference, when I'd really rather stay on windows drivers whenever possible and avoid the unnecessary hassle, all FDev has to do is provide an option for some functions that is already in game for others.

That sucks! In the Saitek software you can program some buttons on the HOTAS and let the rest default to the standard game/joystick definitions. I am surprised that the TM software can't do that!?!?! Makes it easy if you just want to change 1 or 2 controls.
