Yoke & throttle quadrant in VR?

Featured Replies

I am VR naïve but very interested in trying it.

When flying in VR mode - how do I see and use my CH Yoke and throttle quadrant?  Do I have to do everything by touch?

Yes. It's not difficult unless you're in the habit of putting your controllers in different locations every time.

I'll bet you don't look at your yoke or throttle now. Your hands know where to go!

It's just like the steering wheel in your car. Of course you still see it in your peripheral vision if you look out the windshield, but if someone in the car suddenly held their hand in front of your eyes you'd still have no problem grabbing the steering wheel. Muscle memory does the job. It's a non-issue really.

I have gotten pretty good with just knowing where my peripherals are and taking a peek out of the headset every once in a while.

It's also helped me to just use the controls inside the cockpit and even use a profile where I don't have some of my commands bound to my peripherals so I can just operate the controls inside the cockpit and not have my peripherals countermanding the cockpit controls.

My flight controls are operated outside VR as far as rudder, throttles, yoke, etc. but most everything else is just done in VR.

Tell you one thing, it makes you appreciate the Blind and what they have to go through in life. Merely needing muscle memory for a couple of controls and a few buttons, compared to a life of relying on it.
