I use fighterstick and Prothrottle, non-CH pedals. Manager software for CH gear should support HOTAS with DW, since it is essentially a form of programmable keyboard (I even use only the Prothrottle together with mouse for SP-MBT, and my Sidewqinder wheel/pedals toegther woth the Throttle's buttons in Nascar 2003, etc.). But I would merge all devices into one virtual device and manually deactivate all axis that are not needed. Try x- and y- axis alone first before adding a third axis for collective or throttle.
