    I posted an updated plugin, so you can update and test to see if you are getting values as expected.

    I have a question for you. I see you are able to exit out of the game while it's running to capture values for max/min. I have not been able to do that. What are you doing to get out of the game without shutting it down? I have changed resolution and unchecked full screen, but don't see a windowed mode to escape out without needing to shut it down.

    Hey @richdelta9 , thank you SOoooo much! It's working now on Yaw Rate. When I assign my axis3a to Yaw Rate at 100% I am getting side to side movment now when using the twisting of my hotas flight stick! thats fantastic. Thanks so much

    Your question about switching apps without shutting down the game. I use Alt + Esc. Other games I can use Alt+tab but that doesn't work in this one for some reason. Also, not sure if this matters but in the settings->graphics. I have full screen unchecked

    Thanks a lot for all the help on this @richdelta9 @yobuddy
