VR throttle and a lack of control

[Steven The Uneven]

I'm on quest 2, and when I grab the throttle and push my hand forward nothing happens.... Despite my hand matching up with the throttle moving my arm forward or back in alignment with the lever does nothing. but if I rotate it just a tiny bit it snaps to 100% throttle. I have zero precise control over my throttle in VR and BEING IN THE SHIP IN VR IS SO ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ COOL but the actual gameplay is so... ugh. Tried the expedition and took me 5 minutes trying to land on a derelict freighter, flying past it over and over unable to land, before finally just giving up and quitting the game.

YES I have changed the sensitivity settings (no result)
YES I have restarted my device both headset and pc (not that it hasn't been doing this for months mind you)
YES I have updated all drivers.
YES I have done everything I can on my end to ensure there's no issues with my devices.

The fact that pushing my hand forward doesn't move the throttle tells me that the code in the game is set to be rotational instead of directional on that throttle lever. This not only takes more strain on the wrist, but functionally makes no sense. Your virtual arm is pushing forwards or backwards, not flexing your wrist in an uncomfortable manner. I expect this will never be fixed unfortunately, since they broke every single desktop exocraft cockpit to implement VR and never went back to fix how sluggish looking around is while in first person mode. I digress very much though. I have played this game so much and WISH I could enjoy VR but it doesn't feel good at all. Visuals are great and looking around in VR? Amazing! the controls? not so amazing!
