Prior to Update 2, all controls on all VKB Gladiator NXT EVO sticks other than axis controls outputted a "Hat Switch Up" for all keybinds.

As of Update 2, many keybinds now work correctly and the game is in a playable state. The remaining keybinds borked are listed below:

Gives "Hat Switch Up" keybind regardless of button used:

• Pitch Up/Down
• Roll Right/Left
• Yaw Right/Left
• Throttle Up/Down
• Lateral Horizontal Right/Left
• Lateral Vertical Up/Down
• Camera Horizontal Right/Left
• Camera Vertical Up/Down
• ~~Navigate Up/Down/Left/Right~~ (this was my own mistake - it works)
• Toggle Alternate Flight Controls

Gives "Switch" keybind regardless of button used: (this is new to Update 2 as far as I'm aware)

• Throttle Cruise Control Increase/Decrease
• Vector Flight Assist (high priority)
• Rotational Flight Assist (high priority)
• Mouselook (the toggle)

All Alternate Flight Controls identical to normal ones

This is using two VKB Gladiator NXT EVOs (Space Combat) running the latest v2.12.2 firmware and all stock button configurations (just edited the LED colors). Running Windows 10 latest update.

Thank you so much for testing each binding, that's a big help! I guess I need to figure out what's special about those 🙃

With my Gladiator NXT EVO "Omni Throttle" and "Space Combat Edition" moving the stick left/right and forward/backward is registered by Fly Dangerous, but twisting the handle is not registered.

This is with Fly Dangerous 0.6.3 on Steam in a Flatpak. lshw shows the sticks with version: 21.76 which according to "Delta" on the VKB Discord means the sticks run firmware version 2.17.6.
