Hello again. Yes it is frustrating, but let’s not make this post a principal discussion about MSFS and third party developers, please.
I have done some experimenting on the two bullets above. I can actually reproduce both with the stock C 152 and the JF Piper Arrow 3 (v0.8.0). :)
Solution to the first bullet seems to be easy. I removed the mapping on the X-box controller that was conflicting with the mouse-look... and it worked. Mouse-look works again and controller still works fine in drone mode also.
Hope this can help others as well.
