Throttle makes menus go crazy

Hi! I love the new peripherals update.
My VKB Gladiator works flawlessly - just as the Startrucker Peripheral Sheet suggests.

However once additionally I plug in my VKB STECS throttle, menus go haywire as some input from the throttle is running them upwards. Also the mouse resets constantly so it's practically impossible to click stuff.

I tried manipulating all different hats and axis as well as the deadzone slider but the problem persists.

Which peripheral buttons are used by default for navigating the menus? Is there some way to disable this?

Same issue here with VKB Stecs space throttle! I sent my bindings file and more via ticket. It was forwarded to the devs but they are already aware of this issue and I’m sure they work on a fix. So let‘s be patient.

If/when this gets figured out, I'm buying this game! I've been waiting on hotas/hosas support, and I run all VKB.

Really hope this ends up getting fixed. Will be happy to purchase the game again when they follow up on their word.

Same issue April 5 2026. I found the bindings txt files for the gladiator EVO and Omni throttle, by browsing the local files, and removed some lines related to accelleration/deceleration and that did not work. I deleted the files altogether and that did not help either. Tried resetting the controls in the game, by unplugging the throttle first, but it came back the moment the throttle was plugged back in. Definitely the throttle axis, since moving it a little while in the main menu momentarily pauses it. Still waiting patiently.

Anyone hear of a custom SPECS throttle txt file that works?
