How has the hotas held up over time? I just ordered mine this week can't wait to try it out!

One bit of advice. Reduce the stick resistance with the wheel on the bottom.
Good advice right there. Loosening the tensioner also helps with accuracy... once you get used to having less feedback resistance from the stick.

Agreed. I'm going to revise my deadzones tomorrow. I didn't actually realise until a few days ago that the resistance could be adjusted, but I've now got the stick as loose as it goes, and man is it good!
Thanks for the advice in this thread. I just got the Hotas One and I was able to give it a go last night. Although I will give it about a week or two to change anything up, there were some immediate issues that I may be changing. My hands are more on the smaller size so the thrust up and down buttons can be a bit of a stretch. I with they would have made those buttons bigger and the lateral thrust a little smaller. I will probably remap the flight assist and silent running buttons because of my awkwardness of Y+thrust buttons. I may just map B+thrust buttons if they are in fact unused by default, or swap its functionality for the ship lights and camera suite since I rarely use them.
The head-look button on top of the flight stick also seems like a really weird place to have it. I can see it getting in the way and me fumbling when I'm trying to get eyes on and maneuver in the middle of combat.
Overall I'm really liking the Hotas One so far.

I just got the pedals for my xbox one, and it doesn't look like they can be mapped specifically. They just duplicate the twist of the stick (default Yaw). I was thinking of mapping mine to roll instead, as well as mapping the toe presses, but those don't look to be supported at this time. Otherwise, I'm just starting to get used to them myself.
If anyone has had better luck, I'll take suggestions. o7

Check the ED Options/Controls and find where the twist is mapped; you might be able to change something there. I find the defaults are really good for the way I fly (Dangerous 89%). Spending most of my time upping my combat rank in LHS 2441 HI RES learning how to fight a Krait with a fixed #3 Beam, 2 gimballed #3 Multi-cannons and 2 turreted #2 Cannons. Learning a lot everyday. Have fun; fly safe and be dangerous, o7 Cmdr.

My pedals should arrive tomorrow.
any use out of the Toe Presses Uni' ?

You mean how they go on a pivot?
Oh geez... Might have to get back to you on that one. I'm still very much in the learning zone.
Forget about it Uni', I thought ( mistakenly ) that there was 2 extra toe operated 'buttons' !
The Thrustmaster pedals do infact slide and pivot, does anyone know if us consolers can utilise both axis ?
ps sat at home waiting fa the amazon deliveries van with a TM pedal set to arrive !

The toe brakes definitely do not work on the Xbox. I was able to confirm all axis worked correctly using the TM software on PC, but the rudder twist is locked to the stick twist and toe brakes are ignored. This, the short cord, underwhelming throttle smoothness, and poor mounting options has led me to mod mine quite extensively. This is still in-progress as slow international shipping of components and procrastination takes its toll.

I am in process of updating these sheets. After chapter four update I finally GAVE UP on modifying my customized setup. I just went back to default controls. I am in the process of reviewing all of the controls so that I know what has changed.
Unfortunately on XBOX there seems to be some problems with the scanner commands with the default controls. For example.... even though it says on my screen "HOLD A to SCAN"... holding A does nothing.
Frontier really does produce a half-baked cake. Are they "average" in update quality compared to their peers? Sometimes I wonder.
For example, I remember years ago when I first deploying the SRV for the first time there was no response from controls. Here.... no key bindings were installed with the newly released Horizons. If you had customized anything in key bindings the system simply didn't enter any key-bindings at all when installing Horizons.
Any help from the game? No. I had to go to the google to figure out for myself what the problem was and how to fix it.
I don't want to waste my time on crap like this. They are producing a game for my enjoyment, it shouldn't be a major pain in the posterior every time there is an update or new content. Another Example? Gnosis no-fire zone still turned on during that "new content".
There is too much bad taste when eating this cake. I sure hope the content is worth it.

I am having this issue, along with the throttle not reaching 100%. Were you having this issue as well? If so, did it correct after adjusting deadzone?
