A further usability enhancement has been made by Stuart Buchanan to allow configuration of joysticks through a GUI in-sim.  Instead of configuring a joystick using XML, users can now change joystick bindings within the simulator - no XML knowledge required.  The updated joystick configuration takes effect immediately.  This work is also available in git, and should make it much easier for new users (or those with joysticks unknown to FG) to get flying.
