**_Encountered Behaviour_**

Upon starting any game, the camera immediately veers to the right on constant input, due to the HOTAS throttle resting in the no throttle-position, i.e. the axis itself giving full negative deflection.

The game sadly irrevocably takes this input over the set _preferred Game Controller_, and it cannot be changed or removed outright in the game’s launcher control settings either.

**_Workaround_**

Disconnect any USB game controllers. Works, but very unsatisfying.

**_Expected Behaviour_**

Should work with all USB game controllers connected, should adhere to “_preferred Game Controller_” Windows setting and ignore all other input.

**_Feature Request_**

In addition to that, it should be possible to completely remove Joystick input(s) from the launcher configuration tool in a future build.

**_Reproducibility_**

100%

Confirmed - Immediately unplugged my HOTAS for the same reason, once I realized what was going on. DITTO this post, I should have reported last evening.
