As with many I downloaded and tried Flight out of curiosity. I was also curious about the Icon model, because I like the design. I only have the free portion.
Under the options I tried to setup yoke, throttles, and so forth. Only four show up in the list. Has anyone seen more controls in the list? I was also unable to delete assignments except by setting that key/button/axis to some other item. I got around that by editing the control file (standard.xml).
The quirk is that while only 4 controls show up in the list, all of them are read by Flight. At first I could not figure out why the stick in the Icon jumped around wildly (making it hard to fly). At some point I bumped "extra" controls (2 sets of throttle levers not on Flight's list). They had default axes assignments despite not showing up in Flight's list and having no entries in the standard.xml file. Disconnecting them enabled me to use the rest of the controls without difficulty.
Has anyone else seen this problem or have a solution? I have wondered if paying for more enables more features.
