Separate Joystick Controls for Helicopters and Ground Vehicles

Switching joysticks (for left-handers) should not automatically apply to helicopter joystick controls as well. Splitting up 'switch joystick' per vehicle type (i.e. on-foot, helicopter, ground vehicles) helps giving more control to the player.

A better solution would be to be able to set your own joystick controls (i.e. yaw, throttle, pitch and roll for helicopters, walking direction and crouching/turning for on-foot, and forward/backward/turning for ground vehicles).

As someone that flies FPV drones in real life regularly, I have muscle memory for using 'mode 2' flying controls. This is the same way in Forefront when not switching joystick controls. But because I do use switched joystick controls in Forefront to walk, it automatically switches the helicopter controls as well. This is not ideal.

A workaround that I now have to do is to go into the settings menu and disable switching the controls. Then I can fly using the muscle memory of flying FPV. While my issue is a niche within a niche, it's not ideal and I wish such a simple thing wasn't necessary.
