Virtual Reality Pilot

Do you want to improve your VR experience or are you just getting started? Welcome to the Virtual Reality Pilot channel, our mission is 'to help virtual pilots create immersive adventures through accessible and amazing VR experiences.'

We publish flight tutorials as well as an adventure series to really help you get the most out of your sim. We do reviews of the tools you'll need including VR headsets and flight sim peripherals helping you get great value for money and awesome hardware.

We also help you tweak your performance so you can max your framerates with beautiful visuals. We do the hard work testing drivers, configs and settings so you don't have to. More time in your sim and less time tweaking.

I'm an IT professional and entrepreneur and have been an avid sim enthusiast for over 20 years. All these skills help me take the pain out of the sim for you.

We publish new videos every week and also stream on Twitch.

    These seem nice but that's a tough pill to swallow at that price considering you can get universal mounts for like 30-40$ each.

    I have got my virpil stuff mounted on the monster tech chair with chai mounts. I can't say what is better as I can't compare, but they are a little annoying when not flying even though I have a quick release installed! But when in flying + VR the immersion is greater than ever!

    I have been looking for a steering yoke for stuff like space sims. I have the Logitech X56 HOTAS and I cant seem to get used to using a stick. I had the Worthog originally and still had the same issue. I have played with a steering yoke in other flight sims and just love how that all feels and I was able to fly a lot better than with a stick. Anyone know a good yoke that can be used in space sims?

    8:30 You go on to say that your stick can't rotate for yaw - mine can, and it's not because it was designed to. I've taken very good care of it but mines gotten to the point where the joystick will rotate side to side with little input, and its not at the point where the base and stick connect.

    Commercial pilot here: I think this wheel is awesome. It couples with flight sim seamlessly. The play in the throttle/yoke connection is minimum at best, and the reason the throttle has an external wired connection to the yoke is so it can be mounted onto a home sim device or rack, independently from the yoke. With the yoke/throttle connected, the wire is barely noticeable, if at all. Really the only complaint I have at all, is the yoke and throttles are very loose. It NEEDS a tension adjuster. They almost break the immersion because it FEELS like you’re playing with a plastic controller with how loose they are. It’s an excellent controller, I’ve paired it with a self standing mount and Logitech rudders. It’s amazing, the tension is the only complaint.

    DO NOT buy an X56 in 2024. They are the hottest garbage. I had two, returned both with non-stop ghost inputs on the throttle. Tried everything under the sun to get it to work from powered hubs, to isolating the throttle on its own USB bus, to backdoor installing the software and drivers Logitech hasn't even bothered updating for Windows 11 and it just doesn't function properly. I personally think its the hair thin, very poorly insulated wiring in the throttle cross talking with the potentiometers on the throttle. The price may be attractive, but trust me, save your money for Thrustmaster, VKB (what I ended up going with), Virpil or WinWing.

    you climb at full power, because you don't have any power, and you don't run standard rate turns in the power. That's an instrustment maneuver much more than a vfr manuever

I'm not too pleased on how VKB expects me to change the trigger without instructions is that too much to expect??? how about you take all my VKB products in trade for a WINWING or VPRILE ...,..

    so if you need to quickly switch from hotas to mouse and keyboard, lets say in star citizen and you need to get them out of the way for you to move in, is that something that can be done quickly? Only video I've seen where someone made something like it is this one kzread.info/dash/bejne/iIuMyJh-o8nAZMY.html from Skippy, wish some company would build something like this

    Hello. I am starting out into the sim and am deciding on my flight control.I was settling to get the Turtle Beach Flight Stick and have read many reviews on it. One big issue is the stiffness in the centre of the control. I don't think this will be an issue for me and this devices looks very nice over all the others same price range of controllers I have seen. Thinking more into this. I may just want a controller that almost resembles how a controller actually is on an aeroplane. So a yoke style device would be more ideal. Honeycomb from the looks of it does look very nice. I will be using it with the Microsoft Flight Simulator. My question is. Will I be able to use just this controller alone to fly any type of aircraft beside an airliner? I will not be able to get the rudder or the throttle extensions any time soon or will not be getting them period. Also, I don't want to invest and have many controllers as a collection. I just want one. Lastly, to all those honeycomb owners, have the white button fell off or broke on you. The flimsiness does look heartbroken for the price.
