Hand Controllers

What I am asking for is a choice of what I use.

I have been using VR with X-Plane for over 3 years since soon after native VR support was added and did live through the early growing pains which I see the same as now with MSFS. I also have been streaming in VR with X-Plane for over a year so my wants might be different than a non streamer.

I use Valve Index controllers and had them before I had a Index headset and used them with my Vive Pro headset. I am now using my Index controllers with my HP Reverb G2 so I always have at least one or two controllers strapped to my hands.

This morning I did a Twitch stream and when I checked the VR box in X-Plane that was the last time I used a mouse till after I had landed at the last airport. I used my Index controllers to interact with Xchecklist, Avitab, Pilot2ATC, switches, trim wheel, flaps while controlling the plane with a hardware yoke and pedals. I use only my fingertips to control the yoke thru all phases of a flight including landing like I was taught in a real Cessna 172.

All I am asking for in MSFS is the same functionality that is possible in other sims and has been so for many years now.
