Many simmers need it and always fly with pilot body when available. It's part of the simulation and immersion. I don't feel like flying empty RC drones - if you want to simulate that you'd have to disable 6DOF camera and comms.

I would like to leave it on, but I always fly with it off. My reason is that the left arm and hand on the throttle obscures switches and dials on the left console that I need to access while flying. So I'm wondering how you avoid that problem flying with the pilot body turned on.

By mapping a toggle switch on your hotas to toggle the pilot body on/off, and by mapping stuff on your hotas (including control panels) that you need to manipulate during flight.

In F-14 I just click through. In F-15E same but may have to heavily look around. No problem in MiG-29. May have to disable body for a second but it's very rare.

Lacks emphasis. Needs more "oomph!" Better to say it as... VoiceAttack! 

 

I never fly without it. Best $15 I ever spent on DCS. I haven't bought version 2 yet. Maybe today.

Really should be standard equipment for everyone using vr. I use it for all sims i play in vr(that other modern combat sim has fancy voice attack thing, similar to vaicom in dcs) i also use it in several other vr games. Just being able to call up menu with your voice is a lot of help.
