Simplify command setup via direct link in cockpit

[Kirk66]

It would be nice to be able to enter a mode where you can assign commands to HOTAS or other devices directly from the cockpit. Perhaps a menu option in the commands menu that puts you back in the cockpit of selected plane, and allows you to click a control and bring up a context menu that  tells you what the control does and lets you assign a HOTAS button or axis directly. As a final check, have the command/axis be highlighted when the HOTAS button or axis is activated, to confirm selections. This would make it a lot easier to setup commands based on what the cockpit controls look like instead of trying to remember what each command means in a huge menu list. 

Ideally this could be activated during a mission, just like the current command setup menu.

I believe this would make setting up complicated HOTAS a lot easier and faster.

The Heatblur Phantom has a feature where you can bring up the manual in the game. Seems pretty cool. Honestly though it only takes a few minutes to assign HOTAS controls and it’s something you only do once. Not sure if it’s worthwhile making that so elaborate. Plus you actually can’t see most of these from the cockpit view so I’m not sure how useful assigning them from there would be. The current system is still super easy. 
You know the manuals have illustrations like this, right?
