Inevitably, a question regarding feature requests, possibly remotely connected to the x64 transition - the way Orbiter currently handles controllers is
very basic: a single controller can be selected and on this only the throttle axis can be selected from a dropdown menu:
This is a bit of a problem since many modern HOTAS systems, both basic and advanced, actually are two wholly separate controllers, not to mention rudder pedals. These can now be "merged" by using for example the Fly-By-Wire module, which probably wouldn't be able to interface with a 64bit Orbiter.
In short, it would be
very convenient to be able to freely re-assign at least the main axes such as pitch, roll, yaw and throttle.
Bonus points for including hover/retro and RCS controls, both the axis functionality (think 6-DOF mouse!) as well as the normal button functionality as per keyboard numpad.
I'd like to create a more detailed description of the request so that it's actually useful, but would a post in "Orbiter Development" be appropriate or maybe an issue on a GitHub page?
