HOTAS 4 and controls not working in Career Mode?

MSFS seems completely broken for me in Career Mode. My Thrustmaster HOTAS 4 doesn’t work properly, and sometimes none of my controls seem to respond at all. The strange thing is that it seems to be specifically happening in Career Mode.
I’ve checked the control settings and the HOTAS is recognised, but once I’m actually in a Career flight the inputs either don’t work or behave strangely.
Has anyone else on PS5 had the same issue with the HOTAS 4 or other controllers? If so, did you manage to fix it, or is this just a current MSFS bug?
Any help would be appreciated.

Commercial pilots: do you ever get bored while flying?

I recently had a jumpseat experience and loved it, but during cruise the pilots were mostly monitoring and chatting. It made me wonder whether the job can become repetitive over time.
Does boredom increase with age and experience, and has it ever made you question or regret becoming a pilot?

Starting PPL any advice?

Hello, I'm currently a couple of months into an aviation maintenance apprenticeship in the UK. In around a month I'm starting my PPL training, as becoming a commercial pilot is my long-term goal.
I was wondering what advice people would give to someone starting their PPL, and also what sacrifices or difficulties people faced early when starting out in aviation. Financially and socially it seems like you have to give up quite a lot at the start, especially while training and building hours.
My current plan is to save up over the next few years, and maybe also apply for some fully funded airline programmes even though the chances of getting those are almost zero.
