Update 2.1 – HOTAS and gamepads support, private lobbies in multiplayer

Thank you for reporting bugs and posting your ideas. We are humbled by a warm welcome on Steam, and thankful for feedback from a new group of players.

Let’s start with a feature requested by the Steam community since the release – HOTAS and gamepads support. We are giving you a variety of customization options and hopefully you’ll be able to adjust controls to your preferences. Head to the settings to set up your device after first launch after the update. Please mind that your controller should be plugged in and turned on before launching the game. Otherwise it may not be detected.

We are utilizing Revired plug-in to provide support for various controllers. Check the Revired compatibility list if your device is supported.

HOTAS support is also available in the demo – let us know if you experience any issues or you want us to tweak something.

Second requested feature are private lobbies in multiplayer. You can create a password protected room where you can invite your friends and play PvP or Co-op together. After the match is finished, you’ll end up in the same lobby together, so you play another round or even change the mode.

If you are looking for partners for multiplayer we are inviting you to our Discord.
