I found you could interact with most of it with the mouse outside of VR as well. That said, habits like keeping your hand on the throttle as you are taking off, don’t work so well when you have to keep the throttle in sight or you lose control of it. It’s why I had hoped that the VR function would work as once you pick up objects in other games, you can turn your head away from the object and still manipulate it. Was hoping it would be the same in ms flight sim. Sounds like I need to get the yolk, a throttle rig, and some rudder pedals.
What about learning IFR, and communicating with tower? Since I’m flying with a VR headset on, is there an option to have a lap pad or something where you can put down important frequencies to refer to for your flight path?
