Solution:
Avoid having buttons with an 'off' variant, it will bug out your controls

Bug:
There is an issue where my buttons just completely lock, including my HOTAS and keyboard, the only thing I could do was pause the game. This allows me to rescan the devices, which made it work again.
This only happens when I use a control on the HOTAS itself - nothing bad happens if I simply use my mouse and keyboard. This shouldn't be a lack of power issue, as this only happens when I use the F-14.
Reproductability:
Sometimes, it works just fine, but other times, it just does the bug. I'd say a 9/10 chance.
Other people say they have no issues with their HOTAS, so I'm assuming it's just either a bug with the F-14 or an incompatibility with my HOTAS. Here are my specs if you are interested:
Ryzen 9 5900x
2x Corsair Vengeance 32GB RAM (3600MHZ)
RTX 4080
Thrustmaster Hotas X (plugged into motherboard)
750W Gigabyte power supply
DCS installation on an SSD
Note - I have even tried to remap the controls entirely for the F-14 to ensure there were no conflicts, but it keeps happening. The RIO settings seem fine, but it only happens when I'm the pilot. I am also on the latest openbeta branch - 2.8.2.3579 (at the time of writing).
Thank you for your time.
