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. :)
