Synchronised Throttles for VR Controllers

[James744]

I fly DCS in VR with a HOTAS Stick, and use a VR controller on my left hand to operate switches and throttles. With twin-engine aircraft, It is often hard to grab both throttles at the same time and often just move one and have to grab the second one after realising. It would be incredibly useful for people who fly like me (and hopefully easy to implement) to add an option in settings, to synchronise throttles (possibly by having a master and slave throttle) so they increase and decrease together like they would when using buttons on a keyboard/gamepad. Thanks!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't setting one of the throttle axes to "Throttle", rather than individually assign each throttle axis to the left and right - and in this case, *if* you did need to throttle down a single engine you would then have issues - unless I'm mis-understanding the issue here?

if i'm reading it correctly, it's not via the controls/bindings.. the request is to be able to grab both throttle controls at once with mouse/vr cockpit cursor. kind of like how warbirds have the throttle locks. seems like a good request to me. might be able to do it via lua editing to point the cockpit definition for like the right throttle to affect the general throttle axis.

Aaaah, I see. No worries. I was thrown by "HOTAS", I think James744 really means "Flight stick with VR-controller/mouse throttle/button control" - "HOTAS" makes me think he's got a physical throttle and stick.

Yeah sorry, HOTAS does confuse it a bit, I meant just the stick with the VR controller too. It's a bit of an odd one but I'd love an easier way to use dual throttles in VR without physical hardware.
