    Could you do a video with a Gopro pointed at you during a VR flight. I have a flight sim cockpit based on your design and I would like to know if you can use some of the physical controls in the cockpit during a VR flight e.g. the yoke, the rudder pedals, etc. Thanks

      Chris, I use the yoke, pedals, trim wheel, and throttle. I don’t use any of the other panel controls in VR.

        Hi BFG,
        But doesn’t that mean you have to lift the visor so that you can get hold of the physical controls? Otherwise it’s like flying by Braille.

          No. The yoke is right in front of me, the pedals are on my feet. I know where the throttle is by feel. And in the VR 172 the physical and virtual layouts actually match up.

            Thanks. I’m definitely tempted to try VR out.
