I agree. I've thought about this a lot for my own VR cockpit and some kind of zoning of what is/isn't enabled must surely be the way. Also it will be important to align physical controls with real controls in the sim as much as possible. Otherwise you'll reach for the real throttle but your hands will show in a completely different place in VR. These are the principles I built into my Spitfire cockpit and the adjustable mounting points rig system.

I know what you mean - my Varjo is amazing. Trouble is I still want the tactile experience of at least the important flight controls and I want them in the right places now. Flaps, trim wheels, quadrant, landing gear, ideally some nav equipment. There's a facebook group Hybrid Cockpit (nothing to do with me but I joined) that are promoting the VR + controls idea. https://www.facebook.com/groups/2064773260428312

I'm fairly new to LNM so this could be user error, but I've set things up so that the only airports are MSFS and I've disabled all Navigraph. I made a flight plan and decided I'd land at EGEX (Chirk) in Wales. It turned out to be a very minimal airport when I got there with no runway markings or basically anything but a windsock. However when I tried to set MSFS to depart from EGEX, MSFS didn't recognise it as an airport. I'd be grateful for info on how this could happen. I refreshed the LNM database from MSFS but nothing I could do would remove EGEX. Thanks !

Thanks . Works for elevator trim but I don't see a way to show rudder trim or aileron trim.
-
Thanks, I resorted to this but you get the issue of how much trim is applied per click of rotation. Very little at times.
-
Perhaps it is just an animation issue. Is there a way for me to confirm that the trim is getting applied if I can't see the tab animate externally (I set a custom view for it) or the wheel move in cockpit.
-
Has anyone got a rudder trim wheel working? I can't even get a keypress working for rudder trim, well at least I don't see the rudder trim tab move. Same for aileron trim. It only works if I grab the control in the cockpit with the mouse. UPDATE: Success - good old Flying Iron Sims. They correctly animate the rudder trim in cockpit and externally on the rudder trim tab. That's reassuring that the rudder trim is working. It has no aileron trim though. I need to find an aircraft with aileron trim that correctly animates the trim wheel for peace of mind. The AH P51D doesn't.

I'm just getting into Little Nav Map as it seems to offer what I've needed for as long as I've been simming. Navaids that match the sim - If if plan on Skyvector, I discover that MSFS doesn't actually have a particular VOR/it's expired VR panel - using this new one from Kokaproduction. https://github.com/KOKAProduktion/msfs2020-littlenavmap-openlayers The ability to determine/measure reference VOR bearings to create way points This last one I haven't found anywhere else and I suspect it's because I don't do navigation properly. Basically I like to do GA VFR flights with the help of VORs where I'd otherwise get lost (which I easily do). So for example, this would be a typical flight for me though a bit on the short side. Less than an hour. Visit some POIs, no VORs/NDBs en route or practical to use as waypoints. It's EGXD to EGXX, I'd use the bearing to OTR to help me find my way to York (and York Cathedral) if I get lost in the hills, then I'd join the radial from POL to get on track to Whitby. So, this is my question - if I create this plan on my laptop and transfer it to my flying PC I lose the measurements to the VORs. Is there a way of storing these with the flight plan? Any advice much appreciated. Thanks for this great and massive application. Phil

Hi, There's a lot of great resources in this thread and thank you for providing it. I'm not sure if it contains the answer to the problem I have though. It may be in one of the videos and if so I'd be grateful if you could point me how to find it. It's possible that my question only arises because I don't do navigation according to a proper system. Essentially I like to fly GA primarily VFR but with some VOR/NDB to assist when it's easy to get lost either due to weather or just losing situational awareness. I don't do long high flights, more 30 minutes or so and fairly local so I don't tend to make turns exactly at navaids or at waymarks. I had basically decided I was doing it "wrong" when I came across this snippet which pretty much describes what I do. So to my question - what sort of flight planning tool will allow me to create these turning points ('X' in the picture below) at specific mid points? Any help very much appreciated. Oh, and I like to fly vintage aircraft often without DME, so as the text says below "without a DME the pilot must pre-plan radials or ADF bearings" Thanks Phil
