I'm new to sim flying. Was wondering what controller devices you guys find the most useful?
So far I have been using my hands in VR mode and I don't really like how I have to keep my fingers pressed all the time to grip the yoke.
Are you guys using xbox controllers, etc?
In VR I use a joystick and a quadrant throtle. I use the Moza AB9 and two units of the Logitech G Saitek Pro for bimotors/engines.
And in the VR space, is more easy to me to use the mouse than the Meta Quest 3 controllers.
Thrustmer sidestick and thrust levers, saitek rudder pedals - Quest 3 controller for the overhead panel etc
Thrust master yoke and throttle. Like yoke for minor flight adjustments, especially landing.
There is a way to use just the rotation of VR controllers for flight controls, similar to Xplane "ergonomic" mode. This is by far the best way to control planes in VR, all flight sims must implement it. Allows for very comfortable use (you grab the yoke and then rest your arm on your leg or desk) and enables extremely precise movements which are impossible otherwise.
