Map scrolls forever, impossible to use.

My map always just scrolls down, no matter if i'm in a plane or picking an airport. I've checked my bindings, troubleshooting as much as i can, but still it does it. What gives?

That used to happen to me when I mapped some buttons to move the map. I noticed that it was not a good idea, instead, I reset things to default and then just used the mouse to move the map. It is much better that way.

I'm having this issue right now. I use a Gladiator NXT, Orion 2 throttle, and MFG Crosswind pedals, Razer Basilisk V3 wired mouse. When I go on the map or try to change loadouts, I cannot scroll to zoom the map out, and when it does finally work after basically constantly scrolling the mouse wheel continuously, the map then snaps back to maximum zoom level so I can't see anything.

Also, the loadouts always scroll up automatically when trying to change them. VERY FRUSTRATING to the point I've stopped playing this.

There are no map controls mapped in the control options, and the 'allow controller on map' setting in the gameplay settings is unchecked, doesn't help.

There are several threads on this going back a few years, why is this still an issue?

EDIT: I disabled my peripherals and tried my xbox controller and now it works. Obviously there are still conflicts with using a HOTAS.

if it makes this easier, i'm using an X52 Pro from Saitek. My map scroll button is bound to the little hat on the vertical side of the control stick.

When using a controller or M&K i do not have this issue at all, so i thought it was a drift in my joysticks. Glad to know others are having the same issue with different hardware.

I think the devs somehow haven't seen this issue, which is a shame because half the time i decide not to play because i remember this problem exists right as i'm clicking "play"

The game was likely designed to use an Xbox controller (this would be a perfect game for a console), so their thinking is probably that HOTAS support is a 'nice to have' feature if it works, so they aren't going to spend a lot of time fixing it. The Xbox controller does work very well, I just need to get used to it.
