HOTAS on sim battles Mac

Howdy,

Is anyone able to tell me if the current Mac version of the game works with external controllers/HOTAS?

Looking to get back into the odd sim battle for a bit of fun (nothing too serious) but would love to use my old X52, or would be happy to buy another cheap one if it was compatible.

I’m running an M2 MacBook Air at the moment. PC unfortunately doesn’t make sense for me in terms of everything except warthunder so will be staying with hr Mac for now.

Cheers
