Anti-aliasing (AA)
- TAA provides much better image stability and quality than FXAA and is cheap to use.
- This may cause the main menu to shake.[6]

| Full controller support | The acceleration control (default R2/RZ/RT) is prone to a bug where it doesn't reach full throttle and instead jitters at ~75%. This can presently only be fixed by restarting the game. Disconnecting the controller can make it unable to reconnect to the game while it's running. | |

Custom Joystick/HOTAS Bindings
| Configure generic joysticks/HOTAS[12] |
|---|
|
Any DirectInput joysticks/HOTAS devices can be configured by editing an INI file. This includes customized bindings for natively supported Thrustmaster joysticks as well as any other brand of DirectInput HOTAS (e.g. Logitech, Saitek, VKB, Virpil, Winwing). You may need to disable Steam Input for generic controllers to work as expected. Controllers with fewer than 3 axes will not be detected, which can cause issues with single-axis rudder pedals. Use the pedal drivers or vJoy to add a virtual X and Y axis.
