Ohhh! Ok that’s cool. I can see having a yoke and pedals then using VR control for the rest. How fiddly are the VR controls? Can you reasonably set a radio frequency or control the autopilot?

It's been a long time and I only did it a little bit.

Buttons are easy enough to work with, same with levers. Dials were hard though because the normal human behavior is to pinch a dial, but in VR, you can only really grab, and knowing where exactly the game will deal with your grab on a small dial is tricky, especially if it's an autopilot dial with nested dials.

It'd probably work better if I had a VR system that had hand detection rather than needing controllers.
