Impossible to set flight controls
Assigned, WishlistPublic

Description

So I bought Arma 3 and all of the add-ons. I boot up the game and try to set my joystick and throttle controls... nothing works. I read up and find that I have to use the settings in big picture mode. But that doesn't work either. And while I can use my joystick to navitage the menus in big picture mode, I can't change any bindings. 1 axis out of 6 is properly detected... But why do I have to go through such a convoluted process to do something as blindingly simple as control configuration? Not only that, but you're using an external gamepad configuration utility for joysticks and throttles (not that it works)? For a game touting itself as a military sim, this is appalling. If you're going to pass this off as a "design decision" let me know and I'll get a refund.

Hey, there is a schema in the game for T.16000M.

Go to Configure > Controls > Controllers > Click the name of your joystick and click Customize > Schemes and choose T.16000M > Map and then just OK everything.

That would be great, but both windows have zero options. The controllers detected window (they ARE detected in big picture mode though), and the controllers with schemes window.
