I sometimes use a joystick to play the game but sometimes I have to use a mouse and keyboard.
The generic joystick controls do not suit my Thrustmaster T16000 and so I needed to change them. The problem is that when I make changes these automatically save as "custom" but there is no way for me to save these controls independently of the game. And these changes are overwritten if I play without the joystick and make any other changes to the controls.
If I play without the joystick being plugged in then the generic joystick option goes. That's fine but if I then play with mouse and keyboard and make a change to the controls then they overwrite the "custom" keybindings for the Thrustmaster.
I can't see any way of saving the controls independently and there is only a single "custom" option.
So far I've only had to rebind the joystick a couple of times but it's getting boring very quickly.
There is a second additional issue which is that the game doesn't seem to recognise which controls I'm using. When the joystick is plugged in after I've played with mouse and keyboard, I need to go to options>controls at which point the game realises that a joystick is connected.
When I've played with the joystick and then logged in without it, I similarly need to go back to the controls menu for the game to notice that a joystick is not connected. That's only slightly annoying but it would still be nice for the game to recognise what controllers are available.
