The application suite enables users to customize the functionality of their flight simulation hardware. It allows for the assignment of specific in-game actions to buttons, switches, and axes present on the controller. For example, a user might map the throttle axis to control engine power or assign a button to deploy landing gear.
Customization software provides a significant advantage by allowing users to tailor their control setup to individual preferences and specific game requirements. This enhances immersion and improves control precision, potentially leading to a more enjoyable and effective simulation experience. Its origins stem from the need to overcome limitations inherent in standard input device configurations within complex simulation environments.
