a few models, notably some of @legoman 's, use those two sliders for head movement for first-person cameras:
XFX-2 Waterfall_EA
XFX-2 Waterfall is a hypothetical VTOL Tail designed to continue the development of Lockheed XFV-1 Salmon, Goodyear XF3G-1, Martin XFM-1, Convair XFY-1 Pogo, and Northrop XF3T-1 two of which were prototyped and the other three were designs only...

Northrop XB-35 Flying Wing_EA
The Northrop XB-35 was experimental heavy bomber aircraft developed by the Northrop Corporation for the United States Army Air Forces during and shortly after World War II. The airplane used the radical and potentially very efficient flying wing...

RLU-1 Breezy_EA
The RLU-1 Breezy is a homebuilt aircraft known for its "no cockpit" high wing pusher configuration. It is designed to seat the pilot and passenger with a maximum unobstructed view. Designed and built by Charles Roloff, Robert Liposky and Carl...

I haven't seen any other models that use those, but I may have missed them.
I had similar questions when I started using RealFlight. I left a message in this forum asking what all of the switches are for. The answer I got then is that it depends on the model. At the time, I was unsatisfied with that answer because it seemed like all those switches must be for SOMETHING.
But since then, I've come to realize that that really is the case. The only controls that are conventionally used similarly across aircraft are:
I've only seen the controls on the right side of the DX controller used once or twice, never by any of the stock models that come with RealFlight.
On last thought, some of the controls on the right side are sometimes used by helicopters, specifically the longest one (H) for throttle hold (or is it idle-up?
).

But since then, I've come to realize that that really is the case. The only controls that are conventionally used similarly across aircraft are:
- gear retracts (or smoke): back left switch (labeled A)
- dual rates: top far-left switch (C)
- flaps: top center-left switch (the long skinny one) (D)

Full-house sailplanes may use the sliders for flaps/spoilers/crow/camber. But crow is usually on the throttle stick - low throttle is full crow maximum drag, full throttle is minimum drag. I'm pretty sure I've seen crow on 9/10 for some 3D planes that use the throttle as expected.
