Do the X-Y movements of the VR controller thumbstick work for you to operate the rotary knobs? On my Reverb G2 controller the thumbsticks don’t work even in the lock mode and are not even assignable (despite being assigned in the default VR controller profile).
In the default profile the tumbskick is operating the rudder pedals, even after removing this assignmnet I’m stil unable to use the thumbsticks to interact with the panel.
