Breaking Warhawk

So i've noticed something rather disconcerting recently in Warhawk, wired controllers don't allow motion control. I'm not sure when this came in, it could have been with the 1.2 patch, or the Operation: Omega Dawn booster pack but either way, it's a big suck. I hadn't noticed it initially as i'm typically using my wireless SIXAXIS, but at one point, while playing splitscreen online with a friend, noticed that my wired MadCatz controller wouldn't allow motion control for anything, flying, hovering, or ground vehicles no matter what method i used to enable the feature. At first i assumed it was a problem with the sub-standard controller (see the review) but found that the controller worked perfectly in flOw. The issue was compounded when i had to charge my SIXAXIS while playing the other night, and found that while the controller was plugged in i was unable to use motion controls. While the game is still addictive and a blast to play without them, the motion controls are one of it's better unique features, as well as a superior way to pilot a Warhawk (separate flight direction and aiming only possible through motion control are a big advantage, I can't even imagine how much more so with something like the FragFX.) So, Incog, if you're listening, whatever you did to Warhawk that caused this, would you fix it/put it back the way it was...please?
