Just recently installed TFTC and gotta say, it's pretty amazing what y'all have done with it!

I'm using an Xinput Bluetooth gamepad (8BitDo Pro 2) that works great with the game once I set it up with XwajoystickConfig, but wanted to get more functionality so did a little digging and found the TFTC Joystick Resources page on Github and was inspired by the Xbox One controller config using JoyToKey. So I installed JoyToKey 6.7 and created my own button mapping using its SHIFT functionality to be able to access a lot more commands than available buttons.

Problem is, TFTC freezes and then crashes to desktop randomly when I'm in the middle of a dogfight (happens in Training missions as well as skirmishes). Sometimes it'll be fine for only a minute or two, other times I can be playing for a couple of minutes, but it eventually is guarnteed to CTD with no error message. As far as I can tell, it's almost always happened when I'm in the heat of battle, maneuvering and firing. Basically the most frustrating time to CTD, LOL.

This doesn't happen when I use the gamepad without JoyToKey, so the game is playable but I'd really like to be able to access more of the commands that JoyToKey can allow. I did disable all of the buttons in XwajoystickConfig when I use JoyToKey so there's no button conflict.

Any thoughts on what might be causing this? Can TFTC be configured to output a debug log?

Thanks in advance!
