hangar started following VelocityOne Stand Compatibility?

When in VR (Quest 2) and you grab the yoke using the VR controllers the yoke overreacts where any slight movement will cause the yoke to deflect 100% in either direction to left/right. As far as the fore/aft movement is concerned, it is under reacting and moves much too little. Can this be fixed?...and I was wondering if the Lear has this same issue in VR?
-
Nope, many 3rd party planes will not recognize vr manipulators, some will partially but not fully (such as yoke and throttles cant be manipulated with the vr controllers). I wanted to purchase a couple new planes, but it can be difficult emailing the authors and getting an answer so I thought I'd post here first for first hand user experience 🙂

Best Helicopter for VR?
hangar replied to hangar's topic in Virtual Reality (VR) for Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
@Daube Yep I think your way with the mouse is how we all pretty much fly in sims that weren't designed around VR from the start...it's the best you can do really. That's why it's fun sometimes to mess around in the sims that were more specifically designed for VR, such as Aerofly and VTOL VR...It's typically a little flaky getting used to how the physical "holding" of the in- cockpit control yokes work while grabbing, touching and manipulating everyting with just your hand controllers but it's also a VERY freeing feeling, and kind of a hoot really! At least it is in VTOL (which I've flown in for awhile now)...really can't speak about Aerofly since I dont own it yet. I may be buying Aerofly today to try it out 🙂 -

Thanks for chiming in guys - I'll be checking em all I suppose...I'm even considering to try Aerofly FS4 since I can fly it and control everything in cockpit while only needing to use the VR hand controllers. -

Wel it's been awhile since I tried to use msfs in VR...and venturing into a chopper will be very new for me since I typically fly aeroplanes...but I just think it would be fun to try... So... I think what's important in VR for a chopper would be the readability and clarity of the panel instruments and also that everything you'd need to get to in the vc would actually be do-able in VR...most of the aircraft were not made with VR in mind and so reading the gauges is typically a poor experience in VR...I also remember that getting to certain 2d panels in the sim can be difficult or not even possible sometimes...so I guess I'm curious in this last year or so if any choppers have been designed yet with VR in mind? -
Any replays yet with better cameras than the drone?
hangar replied to hangar's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I've used both those apps but unless they've been updated recently, with some sort of preconfigured runway and fly-by cams, they are only data recorders and you were still required to use the drone cam to position your camera during replays in order to obtain your desired external view of the data being replayed. -
Been away again for a while...just wondering if there are any improved systems or apps available yet for instant replays that make viewing landings easier and quicker instead of using the drone cam system (aka flyby views, ground view near runways, etc)? If not, has there been any mention of something like this for fs2024?

Your longest flight in MSFS ?

Yea, passenger simming 😜 -

Although in the long past I've done a few flight that I would consider "long" (California to Hawaii; NY - London), I've never really been a fan of long IFR flights as it suits no purpose for me to sit for hours doing next to nothing. These days I mostly fly by hand, without any a/p engagement so my flights are usually less than 200nm.
