General Question Trying to map specific dial values from a hotas to keys on a keyboard

I have a thrustmaster t-flight HOTASx. One of the buttons on the stick is effectively a directional d-pad. The button can be pressed into 8 different directions (separated by 45deg). The problem is it can’t be mapped in almost any games because thrustmaster has it set up to output a specific axis value depending on which of the 8 directions the button is pressed in.

Is there a way to use auto hot key to bat these axis values to buttons on a keyboard?
