I don't know. For example, both X-Plane and MS Flight Simulator only

Yes, that's certainly a good approach if you want to draw your
controls with a 2D renderer.
The alternative (which the apps you cite are probably using) is to
render the controls as 3D objects as well. (I know I don't need to
explain to you how to do that!)
Best,
