As V12 says - search for Antimicro. I use it to assign ALT-J (map) to a joystick button and reverse thrust (. key) to a button on the throttle. When I get more advanced flying, I'll probably assign more buttons.
Once downloaded and set up, just run Antimicro, then hide (minimise to tray). then run Flightgear.
Note: When I first tried Antimicro I was very frustrated. It was a handy little application, but it never saved my settings. Then I realised you have to save a profile for the throttle and for the joystick separately. Once I'd figured that out, it worked perfectly.
You can use FG's joystick setup for all the controls covered in FG and use Antimicro for all the extra stuff which can't be set up in FG.
There aren't too many instructions in Antimicro that I can find, but if you spend a bit of time figuring it out it's very useful.
Thanks to V12 for recommending Antimicro in past forum posts.
