Are you a keyboard pecker? By that you only use your two index fingers. We had to learn this in school. I am typing this and not looking at the keyboard. They don't teach this in school anymore?

Not everyone has what it takes to pilot an X-Wing I guess.

VR =\= motion controls. I am sorry you are unhappy they didn’t spend the time programming them, but the reality is they wouldn’t work anywhere near as well as the other options. You would have zero chance in MP or on higher difficulties of the story. Motion controls are always imprecise compared to physical options. The VR controllers don’t have enough buttons to use on their own.

Controller is the default. You want more immersion? Get a HOTAS. The game is an incredible experience in VR either way.

Motion controllers in a flight game would be atrocious. Get a HOTAS, or a controller if you do not want to use the keyboard. VR just means it uses the HMD. Your mindset OP is the reason why ES2 did not include VR at all.

This is one of the best VR games out there. You just lack the right gear. Get a controller, either Joystick or Game Controller and enjoy. Criticizing it like this makes no sense at all since it is widely accepted as one of the VR greats.

\Yes, that is in fact typing 101. If you beyond primary school I would fully expect you to be able to touch type. Surely you're not looking at your hands when you're playing just about any other game.

That said you can always use a controller or HOTAS if you really can't keep your left hand on WASD without staring at it.

I always wonder about such complains as there is a dedicated section on the shop page listing all the supported input devices.
Also as stated, motion controls wouldn't work well in Squadrons.

There's really not that many controls in this game. If you have a Joystick with at least like 6 buttons on the side as well as 5 buttons (not including the hat) on top, then you're pretty much covered. All you need on the keyboard are the arrow keys for control of power, space bar for who's attacking you, shift for targeting your teammates. Like, it's not that hard at all. This is a VERY simple game. I play it without looking at my buttons just fine. You're overreacting or just suck at memorizing button layouts. This game is a hot pile of garbage for a different reason, the complete lack of multiplayer content. WE GET ONE MISSION... ONE!!!! That's it. The multiplayer component is a joke. And the B-wing which the finally put in the game is unflyable because of how stupidly slow it is.

Jesus, VR games where you use motion controls to pilot a ship are total junk. If you think they'd hold up to this kind of PvP and intense movements, you're a fool.

If you can afford a VR HMD but refuse to buy a HOTAS, or even a damn xbox controller, what are you even doing? This makes you sound like a child, foot stomping and all.

Take a look at this https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsSquadrons/comments/j4mdtw/my_thrustmaster_t16000mthrottle_keybinds/ or this https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsSquadrons/comments/j4m6o9/t16000m_fcs_button_mapping_template/
Threy're both for the T.16000M but they have other links you may find useful. They're all pretty much of a muchness once you get your head araound it
You just need to be patient and take you time working out which is the best fit for your X52 Pro and your patience will pay off.
I have just got a T.16000M and taken me around a week to map it and get familiar with it in the practice arena, but it's all coming together now

And for anyone struggling with VR Setup - this link really worked well for me: https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsSquadrons/comments/jez56v/psa_steps_to_take_to_enjoy_vr/
Hope that helps :)
