First yoke test in X-Plane 11.50r3 Windows in VR

Featured Replies

I did about 6 or 8 circuits at KERI in X-Plane 11.50r3 Windows using the default Cessna 172 with the REP expansion pack.

First couple of landing were quite hard getting used to the increased throw of the yoke and not flaring enough. They continued to improve as I learned how far to pull the yoke back.

This was while using the Valve Index with its touch controllers that were on my hands at all times. I have been waiting for some time to be able to do this test and it has exceeded my expectations. It took a little bit of time to get the virtual cockpit adjusted where I can touch every switch without hitting the yoke.

A very happy Bill

Great news. I was wondering about how to combine a Yoke with VR controllers. In a perfect world we wouldn't need to wear VR controllers, but we're not there yet.

That is good to hear, I love it when people are enjoying the yoke!

I have had a few great flights in X-plane from EGCB and true earth that feel exactly like when I do circuits in a warrior there.
