Actually i have now found workarounds for the issues i faced.
- For fine tuning tiny knobs like HDG, CDI, ALT etc… you can use thumbstick. With the rotating gesture you make big changes, and then fine tune with the thumbstick.
Check here:
Also i recommend assigning trimming to the other thumbstick.
- The other issue with menus not working. That means no ATC. The menus actually do work when you activate any of the instrument views. By default its CTRL+1 to 0. If you select an instrument view that is not defined for particular aircraft, the view doesn’t change you remain in your normal default position. This can be exploited. Most planes don’t have all 10 instrument views. The last one is usually not defined. So what i do is, i have assigned one of the unused buttons on the controller to trigger Instrument View 10. So when i start new flight i just push that button, and all my menus and ATC is working with VR controllers.
So now i can do everything including IFR using only VR controllers.
