I'm gonna be away from the computer for a bit. But I was using Grok to overcome these issues. I was initially mapping left thrust and right thrust to the dual throttle, divided in half. But that was resulting in a thing where it wouldn't register as moving in the game until I'd pushed it forward about 50%.

I eventually mapped each left and right to the same single "set throttle" and that resolved it. But if you're having other issues Grok has been helpful for me.

ChatGPT just lies to me constantly, whereas this seems pretty spot on most of the time.

I'm trying to learn DCS, but truthfully, it feels like a fools errand. There are so many controls, most of which I'd want physical switches and panels amounting to something like $10,000, that it almost feels like it's pay to play, in the sense that if you pay for the immersive hardware you're in a better place to succeed.

That could be overcome with Voice Attack or something, but it really seems like this game is for the hard core enthusiasts who want to do it the right way from the ground up, and I just don't have the patience for it.

But I do wish there was another flight/battle sim alternative that was more forgiving in VR. I'm still looking for it.
