Hotkeys and how they work

So I’ve got this little game controller that will also act as a bluetooth keyboard of sorts. I’ve got it connected to AOG and it does work for sending hotkey keystrokes. Here is what happens. I have one button mapped to turn on steering. When I press the button the first time I get the tone that steering is enabled but it doesn’t actually steer. I need to then press the steer switch and then the steering starts. After this the game controller button then works to turn on steering like it should. If for some reason steering kicks out or I turn it off with the steer switch I then must restart steering with the steer switch and then turn it off with the game controller to reactivate the game controller to work every time. It also seems to work similarly when using it to turn on automatic section control in place of the onscreen button. Is this the way it will always work or is there a way to make the hotkeys work on the first press like the steer switch does?

It’s because it is mimicking clicking the button on the screen, not the steer switch. If you set steer switch to “None” it should work as you expect.

Ok so it seems I need to pick one and use it and not try to use them interchangeably. Thanks for the answer to my question.
