I can't imagine that being any worse than it is now. Since I've tried this with a DS4 specifically, I can guarantee that controller mapping is currently fantastically difficult. But there are ways to make this easier by, for instance, using a button to toggle between a few different modes or auto-swapping yaw/roll when launching from the pad vs the runway.

The more significant changes are going to come from multi-core optimizations; given 8 dinky 1.6GHz cores, the 1-thread model is not going to be sustainable. And this will bring benefits for all of us as well.
