Thank you Sergio, I'm exited to go into VR and I can well imagine that working with mouse or controller will be best effort to control the cockpit. Maybe some day the integrated cameras of VR headsets recognize your free hands as a controller and human hands can be used to control switches in a cockpit.
Indeed. There are a few companies out there trying to come up with the best product, but I think we'll have to wait a bit longer until there's some sort of standard. From what I understand, very often these advances stop because the game developers themselves don't support the product, which obviously ends up hindering those efforts.
I'm trying to see if vrfree gloves will work for this. I have a warthog hotas. Having some issues with calibration bit working with sensoryx to fix those. I love hardware gizmos I have spent hours and hours programming stuff on Logitech in LUA, am constantly finding with TM software for hoyas setup. Should probably spend more time flying !! I want to get properly into DCS, OSSIBLY XPLANE, I have VTOL VR and ED.
I also have the SensoryX gloves but, like you say, it's not easy to set up and it not always works perfectly. Until then, Knobster has really been a huge help since most of the time I am just dealing with frequencies as I fly around (non-military). Thanks for watching and for pitching in! Great to see other helicopter fans being creative with solutions for VR!
Well done, sir! Here is one i get a lot... what is the difference between a "throttle" and a "collective", and why do i need both bound to my controls?
Hi, with the throttle you control the rpm of the rotor, which should be set up to a constant range when you intent to fly and lift of. Thankfully for a governor (most helicopter have one), rpm can be maintained automatically at this range. The collective is used to control the pitch of the blades (comparable to rotating wings) which then generate the uplift.
@@stephansiebertz1870 I know all of this. LOL. I am offering SERGIO the question to make into a video , because it is a popular question that gets asked a lot. I appreciate you taking the time to write all this out, but you missed the point of my comment to SERGIO.
Ordered mine today as I think it will help with my dystonia condition as I can't hold controllers steady. so this looks like the answer? will let you know how it goes when I get the bracket printed for my Puma Pro.
@@HeliSimmer might have to wait a bit it's Christmas present, but I an getting a friend to print the bracket for me. Had been thinking about it for a while and you convinced me.
@@WonkyJoystickProductions I honestly think you will like it. It's one of those things that you really don't know you needed it until you get it. Then you start wondering why the hell didn't you get it earlier!
Thank you Sergio,

There are some options on the market already (gloves or camera systems) but they are still in its infancy. It's a matter of time!
Thanks for watching!
Hi Sergio,
I do like this format:-)
This topic is interesting indeed too since I am currently waiting for the Reverb G2!
Keep this coming
Hey Christoph! Nice seeing you here as well! Thank you very much! I am curious to find out about the G2!
Thanks for the video Sergio! Just wanted to add in, CaptoGlove is also working on the solution.

That is a nice question indeed and one that does pop up a lot. Thank you very much! And thank you for watching!
@@belgeode lol, sorry for this misunderstanding
@@stephansiebertz1870 no worries.

This may help you a lot. Please do let us know how it goes.

What flight model is best to use for helicopters, Modern or Lagacy?
Show us your sim! 🚁
My sim's pretty "basic". I use a Pro Flight Trainer Puma, the Knobster attached to it and an HTC Vive. That's all I need to enjoy helicopters, really!
@@HeliSimmer Sergio, which model of the Vive do you use?
@@1Skymed I use the original model. The first one that HTC released.
what didital transmitter will fly echine e120 and e129 helicopters what is compatable for them
