Bug? EVA with Joystick/Joypad different from keyboard.

[jeancallisti]

Scenario :

• Do not plug any joystick or joypad to your computer
• As a ship is in orbit, go in EVA and press "R" to enable the Kerbal's jetpack
• Try to spin him, using the keys Q and E of the keyboard : as soon as you stop pressing those keys, the Kerbal stops spinning. That's the usual behaviour. There's some sort of stability assist integrated into the jetpack controls, even when SAS is not enabled.
• Now, go back to KSP's home screen and enter the settings. Plug a joystick or joypad (I tried both!) and configure the controls to use them in EVA.
• Go back to your game and go again in EVA
• Try to spin the Kerbal with any of the Yaw/Pitch axis you've configured

Problem : Now the Kerbal never stops spinning. It has nothing to do with the joypad/joystick's calibration, only the joypad/joystick's presence. Proof: Unplug the joypad/joystick, switch the control back to the ship, then back to the Kerbal. You'll see that he keeps spinning even when you control him using the keyboard. The pretend stability assist I was mentionning earlier is permanently gone.

Workaround : Go back to the space center, then go back to the Kerbal using the Command Center. Now the Kerbal has stopped spinning and is behaving as expected again
