Just a note: Look in google-earth/resources/flightsim/ You can easily add startup locations in google-earth/resources/flightsim/flightsim.ini This game will use joysticks, look in google-earth/resources/flightsim/controller/ for a list. Edit generic.ini or the named joystick file for your joystick There is a folder for keyboard setup, and it looks like you can edit/create aircraft and edit/create huds as well.
