Warthog / FA18 / Any replica HOTAS in VR - how to access extra functions/modifiers?

[Dangerzone]

A question for VR users who use exact / replica HOTAS controllers (coming from a X56 user):

 

How do you get around accessing additional functions not available on the HOTAS? (ie, accessing kneeboard, views, or other options)?

 

I really like the idea of having a HOTAS setup like the real thing, I just find myself wishing I had one extra button to put in modifiers so I can increase the functionality and do additional things such as bring up a kneeboard, flip through pages, or activate voice-attack / vaicom, use VR Zoom, slew mouse, etc which of course aren't really available on the real thing in real life but used in-game).

 

Do any of these controllers have an extra miscellaneous button/control somewhere that can be employed for this use, or how do you guys go about getting the extra functions while in VR?

In the A-10, I use the paddle switch as modifier, then use HOTAS buttons for the kneeboard, etc.

Yep same here, with a modifier I increase number of commands and have them all assigned to my HOTAS.

I use an additional Razer gamepad to the side for some functions, and VoiceAttack / Vaicom (via the PTT button) to call up items such as the kneeboard. I have a VA profile daisy-chained to the Vaicom one for non-Vaicom commands

 

I have also repurposed the Engage / Disengage autopilot button on the Thrustmaster Warthog throttle since the pinky button does the same thing
