Yes, the same type of problem here. I am using the Siatek X52. I do have my USB headset and thumb drive inserted into USB as well. I added this information, because I read in another similar thread about loosing all analog settings, that Skuzzy was aware of this and it should be included in the next patch.
To add to this thread, and possibly the other loss of settings threads, I noticed that my Joystick settings are affected after attempting to GV. Although I haven't thoroughly tested it, on both occasions I was attempting to map my joystick in the GV. So, I am not certain of when the settings got dumped, before or after my attempt to open the mapping window.
In the case of the A6m3, I was just flying around and noticed the stiffness. I hit the windows key and adjusted my jstk settings from it's software and control returned, but was restricted again (I am not certain of the return of restriction).
I was lucky in that I saved all of my settings, prior to the update so I am able to reload them. I was

concerned that the old settings would not play well with the new sights and mouse systems.
Skuzzy,
are there any files that I should be careful of when I load up my old files? So far, on two attempts with the settings folder reloaded, no additional problems seen.
