How to use it
The plugin uses the same kind of .prf preference files as X-Plane for assigning commands to mouse buttons. Whenever you

11/Resources/plugins/MouseButtons/Cessna 172SP.prf". If it can't find an aircraft-specific .prf file, it will look for a generic
mouse.prf in the same directory.
Reason for Initial
Modification
The format of an entry in the preference file is as follows:

 Quote

button-to-bind modifier-keys command-to-exec

Available button identifiers are:

Mouse-Left
Mouse-Right
Mouse-Middle (Scroll wheel click)
Mouse-Forward (Thumb forward button)
Mouse-Backward (Thumb backward button)
Mouse-Wheel-Forward (Scroll wheel forward)
Mouse-Wheel-Backward (Scroll wheel backward)
Mouse-Wheel-Left (Tilt scroll wheel left)
Mouse-Wheel-Right (Tilt scroll wheel right)

Available modifier keys are:

CTRL
SHIFT
ALT
LMB (Left mouse button)
RMB (Right mouse button)
MMB (Scroll wheel button)
FMB (Thumb forward button)
BMB (Thumb backward button)
or <NONE> for no modifier key

Multiple modifier keys can be combined with +, so an entry like

 Quote

Mouse-Middle CTRL+FMB sim/view/default_view

would only trigger if you held down both CTRL and the thumb forward button when clicking the mouse wheel button.
