No.
The buttons file contains the flight models for the aircraft in the game. The class file of any installed aircraft (i.e. listed in air.ini) calls for the relevant flight model from the buttons file when the game loads.
If you have an aircraft in your air.ini that doesn't have the flight model in the buttons file you are using, the game crashes at 60%. However, you can have flight models in the buttons file that aren't used, and it will still work. The buttons file could have a thousand different flight models of aircraft you don't have, and it will still work. But have just one aircraft listed in your air.ini that doesn't have the flight model in your buttons and it will crash.
So, the way to not get crashes is to ensure that the buttons you are using has been updated for the aircraft you want to install in air.ini. I'm using Muas' 'All Mighty'. This features almost every flight model except some of the recent things (like the Battle, new Spits and the Typhoon). So, using this buttons file I can't use those aircraft. However, if the buttons gets updated, I can.
People have problems when they have a set of aircraft installed and then copy over their buttons with a new one because they've installed a new plane. If that buttons doesn't feature the planes you've already installed, it will crash.
Let's make up an example. You've got Muas' new Bf 109s and it works. You've got the 'All Mighty' buttons that has the new Bf109 flight models and they're listed in air.ini. Everything's perfect.
Then you install a new aircraft, for example the Battle. You copy over the 'All Mighty' buttons with a new one that came with the Battle. Crash.
Why? because you've still got the new Bf109s installed and you've removed the buttons file that has their flight model. The only way is to remove all traces of the Bf 109s and use aicraft that you know are on the buttons.
So, basically, you just need to be mindful of what you've installed, and understand that you can't have every plane if you don't have the right buttons file. Buttons files really aren't that mysterious, or confusing - the 60% crash is saying the game can't find what it needs in the buttons.
