Thanks ED for the Oculus Touch integration!

I know this is a very early stage but I am surprised ED didn't try to make more noise about it. It is looking really awesome even though one cannot interact with the cockpit yet. Once functional, assuming we get enough accuracy with the touch, but I bet we will because those little things are really impressive, it's gonna make a huge difference in using VR. Can't wait to see where you guys will take this. Thanks again.

The Vive controllers have been showing virtual hands for a while now, so its not surprising the Oculus Touch controllers were integrated. Now I just hope for proper VR gloves that you can use with your HOTAS as well... since now you need to grab the controller to do anything and then leave the hand rolling around the cockpit as you grab your hotas again... and that is UN-immersive

Ya but lets be honest, mouse is so much easier. Having to find the touch controller, orient it in your hand prooerly, just seems weird. If it works for you, great, but i dont see this being mroe than a "cool" thing. I also remember hearing there was no intention on really doing anything with this, I mean the hands have been in the beta for a long time now... Dunno, seems like a waste of time with all the other things going on, but thats just me (and I play exclusively in VR)

I wouldn't use the touch controllers with DCS world. I think the mouse works fine, and with voice activated commands, you have everything you need. Touch will be a novelty, but it won't bring more practicality, so I don't see it becoming a big thing.

Kind of like activating the mirrors in A10. And seeing yourself in the mirror. I get a kick out of it every time! :)

I tested Touch control in FlyInside with P3Dv3 - can't say I can see myself using them again - gaze control a la DCS World, with mouse control from the HOTAS, is far superior.

 

My aircraft unexpectedly lost power to one engine and I was unwilling to simply drop my Touch to grab the joystick to regain control.

 

This is why Touch (or wands etc) will not do the job.
