I think we've narrowed it down to the autohover command being bound to the joystick. For some reason this command screws up our keyboard when bound using the Saitek SST software.
Edit: Scratch that, just had a keyboard error while using Shkval controls. I lose my Esc, Pause, F1 and F2 keys. At least thats what I keep trying to press. Also, I mapped my Fire D button to RCtrl + I, but instead of centering the Shkval, I get a "C" designation on the Shkval and the HUD without the intended event of centering the Shkval.
Unfortunately, this game is unplayable until either:
a) this issue is resolved allowing me to create a profile and use it ingame without losing joystick/keyboard functionality
b) someone uploads a working X45 profile that doesnt FUBAR my input devices.
This game's learning curve is hard enough without having to navigate this! :)
