Glad you got it working! Yeah I do wonder myself why if you collide with something the game forcibly sets your throttle back to zero, I've found it to be a pain as well.

Capper, have you found anyway to make the throttle forward only?  ie, I'd like for full dead throttle (-1000) to be dead throttle in the mech instead of full reverse.  Then have the option to toggle into reverse and push the throttle forwards into full reverse throttle.  I don't have any detents in the the middle of the CH throttle and it's a pain trying to bring the mech to a dead stop, especially since throttle inputs override the "brake" key.

there's no way in the actionmaps.xml as its own action, but I wonder if perhaps you could just adjust the ranges on the Joystick settings tab so that instead of the stick going to -1000 for that axis you restrict it to -500 or 0 or something.
