DCS on Steam. Does anyone here play it?

Does anyone here play DCS on Steam? If so, do you play it with a HOTAS system like Thrustmaster or the Saitek X52? Is there a way to map the HOTAS controls to the software automatically or do you have to do it manually for each button and each and every f*cking plane that you buy and download?

DCS Steam user here, but as of this afternoon I will be transferring my purchases over to the standalone beta. I only have the F/A-18c and the supercarrier.

How many planes have you bought?

Apologies. Missed this as I didn’t get any responses for days, ergo thought not a popular topic.

I have the Flaming Cliffs 3 module, F5-E, Mig 21 & BF-109G so far. Planning to get the Viper module, F-15E, F4-E Phantom (Once it comes out!) and a few more maps modules.

It’s a steep learning curve for each aircraft, hence I was wondering how other people mapped their HOTAS and if there was a quick way of doing it.
