Left hand on yoke, w. buttons programmed to pitch trim, flaps, gear. Right hand - throttle, prop, mix, spoiler - depends on the plane. Switch right hand to trackball (SOO much easier than a mouse ) to turn knobs, press buttons, adjust autopilot settings etc). Feet on the rudder pedals. Goal is to eliminate the keyboard entirely, but of course that is nearly impossible. 🙂 cheers,

Try FSUIPC7. -
Which version of 2024 to buy...
joby33y replied to BWBriscoe's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
How? Does ‘24 recognize those assets on a ‘20 premium installation ? I’m curious. Thx! -
Has the VR pointer issue been fixed ? If not, when?
-
I fly sims to stay current (not certified, just my own procedures). I use VR and found Xplane 12 to be lacking in VR support. And the graphics are very dated. For now, MSFS20 is the best option.

a lot of anger towards PMDG baffles me!!
joby33y replied to JETPETER2's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
The point of the ‘anger’ is missed. It’s not about the absolute price, or how good PMDG’s products are, or their operating costs….it’s about the lack of a simple gesture of customer loyalty. When one buys nearly everything they’ve produced since the the days of Prepar3d v1, and now having paid full price for both 773 and 77F in MSFS, the lack of an ‘upgrade/discount’ for the 772 creates frustration (and apparently anger, for some). Personally, I’m disappointed and simply choose not to pay another $77 for the 772. I just wouldn’t feel good about the purchase, regardless of what Kok is saying about new wings & engine options. -
REX ATMOS recommendations
joby33y replied to V1ROTA7E's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
It’s by far the most annoying, un-user friendly UI of any add on I’ve ever used. But, it’s the only way to filter / adjust overexposed skys while in VR, with changes on the fly. -
Does that (external view zooming) also function in VR ? TIA,
-
Try REX Atmos to manage the haze, colors & washout of the sim. Sorry I’m still on 2020 so maybe this is moot for ‘24 but I’m holding out. Yes, the UI sucks on Atmos, but it’s the only tool I’ve tried that allows lighting, atmosphere & color tweaks in VR with changes appearing on the fly. Much improved visuals.
