I have my arma 3 set up so it uses my xbox controller, but for arma to realize that I have it on, I have to go into options, then controls, then back out, for the game connect with the device. It is just a nuisance to have to do this every time I want to use the xbox controller, and cant understand why it just doesnt auto connect like in arma 2.
Also it would be nice if there was some button control customization and not just stick sensitivity customization. I find myself more fond of the arma 2 controller flight controls verses the arma 3 controller flight controls.
