VR Yoke/joystick control
I wish you would control planes with joysticks in VR the same way you control planes with yokes, not as it is now where you tilt the touch controller and the joystick moves.

What do you guys think?

i use VR and a yoke. Enable VR mouse, in the VR tab in settings, it does get in the way at times tho as it has headtracking ablitiy so you always have to move this big white arrow out of your face when looking around. But yes, you dont fly with virtual hands just like you dont race a car with a joystick or keyboard, use a yoke to fly with!! and you still have the ability to use the VR controllers for stuff. You can assign a button to turn on/off the 3d cursor which I just found today.

What I meant was that in aircraft with yokes (cessna, md 80 etc) you grab the yoke with touch controller and it moves it just the way you move your hand. in aircraft with joysticks (stinson etc) when you click the joystick it kinda moves with wich way you tilt your touch controller. I would prefer it to be as with cyclics in helicopters where you click on the stick to "grab" it and it moves with your hand 1:1.

There is a 'cheat' setting in Xplane for that. It's in the VR menu I think. It forgot what it's called, but easy-mode or something like that.

Yeah its called ergonomic mode or something like that, this is hard to explain but what I like is the 1:1 realistic way of grabbing the yoke and having to move it just as much as in real life but I dont get why we are forced to use "easy ergonomic" mode with planes with joysticks.

Oh I see what you mean now.
Sorry I missed that :)

I have only just got Xplane and am still learning how everything works and so far have only flown the helicopter and DC9. Haven't tried all aircraft yet.
