Does VR Eliminate Need for Bravo Throttle Quadrant?

The key to successful VR is to get your hands on the yoke, then reset your view center to match.
Sometimes I have to move my head forward or back and reset it a couple times until the VR world and the real world are in sync. Then I find that when I lean back in my (real world) chair, I fall through the back of the fixed seat in the VR cockpit!

Ironically, I also find that the best position in the Citation Longitude, strangely allows me to actually lean outside the aircraft (as though the window was open) and look down at the ground. Somewhere there is an ongoing thread about VR scale and cockpit scale… something is going on here and needs a rework. I’m not a small guy, but in some cockpits I feel like I’m in a tube of toothpaste.
