Left-Handed representation

[PlutonianEmpire]

Purely cosmetic, and probably tedious to implement, but one thing that would be nice would be an option for left-handed Commanders, so , for example the joystick throttle would swap sides in cockpit view

Option to make commander left-handed

So this is kind of a cross-post from this topic: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/setting-to-make-your-commander-left-handed.634740/ First of all, I'm not a newcomer, but this definitely feels like a newcomer question, so here it goes... I could be missing something very obvious but is...

Given the limited resources this game has available to it to create game content, this seems like a waste of those resources.

Also, I don't think there would be any need for this even in real life. The joystick depicted in the game is "right-handed" only in the sense that it's to be used with your right hand, not in the sense that it's only for right-handed people. It is perfectly possible for a right-handed person to easily learn to use a left-handed joystick, and likewise for a left-handed person to use a right-handed joystick. There's nothing inherently difficult about this.

(In fact, we have the perfect real-life example of this. It might not be exactly the same, but it's pretty damn close: Game controllers. They have a left half and a right half, and almost nobody has any difficulty using either half for its intended purpose, regardless of their handedness. Thumbsticks, buttons, triggers... all equally easily usable with either hand.)
