Are the key mappings universal for all planes?

small features like this just make sense and make the game more streamlined and user-friendly
Good suggestion here, as long as i wouldn't have to map everything from scratch for every single aircraft. Maybe having a universal, base file or the ability to copy control schemes between planes would help with that, so that we wouldn't have to map universal controls like gear and flaps every time.

For example, i set everything up in the base control scheme, then select a hurricane and see i'm missing some controls, but not all of them (since the basic ones are covered in the base control scheme). I then go into the options screen and start a hurricane specific control scheme. The interface "reads" the information from the base file and transfers the universal control assignments, then i only define the missing controls that are specific to this aircraft and save it as "hurricane".
