I'll try to phrase this carefully to avoid misunderstanding.

Mice and especially USB mice are a great (cheap) source of rotary encoders 
complete with control logic and interface.

When using FlightGear, your Corepointer provides a means to click on things 
and this is normally your primary mouse.

Now, what about if you connected a second mouse to your USB bus, configured it 
in XF86/Xorg but didn't assign a pointer to it.

Could FlightGear then read from the device, say one axes of that pointerless 
mouse and utilise it to control input for an instrument or control in 
FlightGear?

Did anyone even understand that? ;-)

Cheers
