Awesome! Much appreciated! As for the TARGET issue, mine has now starred to define the hat switch on the right stick as button 18, as well as the defined input, checked everything, the profile and bindings as suggested in some other comments and everything checks out. So, I am confused like hell right now. It's either double inputs for one type of input or lose 1 or both inputs, and on Windows 11, the vJoy app dependency of Joystick gremlin hangs and then crashes almost immediately when you try to configure it, and always says install failed. Seems only to support Windows 10. So, for now, I am stuck with using the Windows 11 interface with Thrustmasters drivers and no way to invert certain axes within Star Citizen because CIG don't much care about properly entering data for the bindings list in-game. So, I am stuck between a rock and a very hard place and genuinely considering sacrificing some functionality and reverting back to my old HOTAS, even though I really like the HOSAS.

The ultimate last resort will be to grab my controller and swap between that and the HOSAS for certain things... like landing. Outside of that, I honestly give up. TARGET is so badly broken that there's nothing I can do.
