Despite many disappointments I'm still hoping we'll get proper VR gloves with haptic feedback before the world ends. Here's a new one that looks promising. Only $250 for a dev kit - go on IPACS, buy yourselves a pair! The video looks pretty promising. If these work I could hold a real yoke as well as have VR cockpit interaction.

Those look really cool.
I have decided to take a different approach, away from VR. Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Crzz9ySNPuI&t=80s
Instead of a real panel like the one shown, I am going to use a yoke, throttle quad, and a few switches, but leave the main flight panel VR. Then use an IT touch pane to make the monitor/TV touch screen. That way I can operate all the controls via touch. By using the virtual panel it will save a lot of money, plus I can us it with most any aircraft, not stuck to the Cessna style panel.
I still may have to get the gloves when the PiMax 8K comes out. I like VR, but for slower simulations the screen door effect of the Rift just drives me nuts.
