Good evening.
I have been playing DayZ for years and transitioned to PC.
I use an Xbox controller and have specific settings I am accustomed to and I am sure there are many many more folks out there dealing with the same issue.

We can no longer map buttons for controllers.
This completely disables the ability to fly modded helicopters.. it affects general combat mechanics and so much more..
This was not an issue until 1.18..

I've read that this is also plaguing the CONSOLE community..

I am marking this as a minor severity but.. in all reality it is pretty major...
