touch controllers

[jimimac 19]

Hi just ordered the rift s, previously had the rift and didn’t use the touch controllers as I believe p3d did not support this, just wondering if you can do without using the touch controllers with the rift s and just the mouse when using p3d.

thanks,jim

I don't think the touch controllers function in P3D without using Flyinside.

What I meant was I don’t use touch controllers with the rift just the mouse,when I get the rift s I am hoping not to use the controllers also but don’t know if you have to use them I much prefer the mouse for flightsimming.

thanks,jim

Yes, you can use mouse and other hardware in P3D VR. In fact you have to, since touch doesn't work.

Ok that’s fine don’t mind using the mouse looking forward to my rift s arriving on Thursday, also would like to get the ngxu but holding off to see what sort of performance other vr users are getting.

thanks jim

I get the same performance with the NGXu as other PMDG aircrafts during the day, but they have implemented dynamic floodlights in the VC so this is hitting pretty hard during night flights.
