Whilst it is a digression, I am not sure - it is some years since I 
played with it, but, from memory, a free flight simulator that I played 
with, operated something like that, I think. I think it might have been 
Flightgear - I am not sure - it was a while ago. It was key 
combinations, or, key presses, to do things, not ever having had a joystick.

Now, having been reminded of it (I had forgotten about it), I will have 
to look into it again - I have always wanted to fly, and, flight 
simulator software, is the only legal way that I can fly a plane.

Interestingly, at 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Flight_Simulator is
"Microsoft Flight Simulator (often abbreviated as MSFS, MFS or FS) is a 
series of amateur flight simulator programs for Microsoft Windows 
operating systems, and earlier for MS-DOS and Classic Mac OS. It is one 
of the longest-running, best-known, and most comprehensive home flight 
simulator programs on the market. It was an early product in the 
Microsoft application portfolio and differed significantly from 
Microsoft's other software, which was largely business-oriented. At 39 
years old, it is the longest-running software product line for 
Microsoft, predating Windows by three years. "
with the last sentence there, being the most interesting of that 
excerpt. So, the most durable software of microsoft, is not an operating 
system, but, a game. :)
