New Control Mapping Software

There is now an opt-in BETA running for you to try out the new control mapping software. This mapping software has more support for a lot more devices, so if you couldn't get your controller to work before you should be able to now.
However, there may be a chance that some controllers still won't work but I would imagine they'd have to be very obscure/old to not be seen.
This is an industry standard mapper and so will probably look quite familiar to some of you as it has be used in a lot of sim games.
To optin...
1. Right click on the game in your Steam library
2. Select "Properties"
3. On the new window choose "BETAS"
4. Select "joystickmapping - New Control Mapper"
5. Leave the access code box blank and you should get the update.
6. Start the game and go into the Control Settings area and you should see the new mapper.
I have setup default maps for the Xbox One/360 controllers. Other controllers I have setup a basic mapping for flight controls which should cover the basics. Other controls you'll need to bind to your personal preference.
The mapper will allow you to use up to 100(!) devices at a time and you can also remove devices that you are not using if you need to.
Everything else works just like most other control mappers.
