Using valve index controllers, i just grab the stick and put the controller on my right arm rest. I was never being able to fly as precise and accurate as i can do in VTOL without any HOTAS at all. I can only speak about LightHouse2 that i own. Not that its just much more immersive, its also way more accurate, at least if you have a good tracking system. I realy find VR controls much much better then any HOTAS can be. The other half never tried it or maybe needs to justify their investements in expensive HOTAS. About half of the community fell in love with it after trying VTOL VR. The VR flysim community is devided in this point though whether flying using virtual yoke/joystick is at all matching against HOTAS in terms of precission and comfort. I hope they do it properly and give us the ability to fly without HOTAS by just grabbing the yoke in VR with your hands. “Controller support” can be anything between just the option to assign controller buttons to game functions to full interactive VR controls like in VTOL where you can interact with everything with your hands directly including flight controls. The intrigue here is what means VR controller support at all? This by itself says not much. I’m really not putting money on VTOL VR-level interaction for this game. I really prefer a joystick, not a controller to fly although the controller is useful for other controls if you don’t mind banging it on the desk top or skinning your knuckles.Īs an aside, the colours, sharpness and general visual quality in No Man’s Sky in VR is amazing compared to MSFS at the moment, and really shows what the G2 is capable of.

I have been using the controllers just recently though when I gave No Man’s Sky another whirl, this time in VR and found the whole thing a bit iffy. That gives me enough tactile levers and buttons to fly VR without peeking under the headset (I also use “torch on/off” with voice recognition to find my beer with the G2 headset see-through cameras, VERY useful -). In VR I prefer to use that and my old Thrustmaster throttle quadrant, either on the left or right, depending on what I’m flying (currently mostly a glider, biplanes and the Spitfire). Having a Thrustmaster Airbus stick I can configure it for right or left hand. I prefer to fly mostly with stick (as in real life, be it gliders or models) rather than yoke, even though I have an Alpha yoke and Bravo throttle quadrant, which I mainly use in 2D.
