Another variation on the theme of assigning buttons to events which might be possible to set up would be to link the clickable cockpit to the controls menu in such a way that when the mouse selected the cockpit switch an option was given to enter and save key strokes/joystick buttons to the controls menu. A subsequent selection of that switch would also show the saved keys/buttons. This display could be turned off. This way it would be much quicker and easier to assign keys to events and it provides a ready reminder of the keys assigned any time in game. Some keys would be common to all planes and so would only need entering once for all whilst others would be common to a type of plane such as a bomber and a few may be unique to only one particular plane. This would give complete freedom to select and click switches in the cockpit when appropriate but use keyboard/controller buttons in a dogfight.
