Animated, full size hand cursor when inside cockpit?

Featured Replies

One thing that tended to stop my immersion was using a mouse pointer when turning knobs, clicking buttons and the like inside a beautiful 3D cockpit.  Hence, one of the reasons I built a cockpit to use my own hands to make adjustments.  That got me to thinking, is there any animated hands that can be used instead of a cursor?  I'm not talking about the micro-size hands that change from an arrow when turning a knob, but a relatively "life-size" hand (maybe even part of the arm as well), that extends from off screen where your body is seated and angled correctly that looks like your own hand is making the adjustments?   Possible? Would simmers be interested in something like that?

AeroflyFS2 has such hands under VR. They are operated using the VR controllers (which I don't use, though).

I've looking for exactly this also.  Were you able to turn up anything?  One would think this would be a popular add-on from a 3rd party developer (better yet -- from MS).  Here's a sim that has VR hands as an example of what could be done.
