Since it's now possible to use Quest 2 hand tracking in Flight Simulator (thanks to OpenXR Toolkit), I tried the ultimate immersive setup, with only hand tracking (no VR controllers) combined with a joystick physically located where the virtual one is.

It feels awesome to be able to manually control the entire cockpit with your bare hands, while remaining easily in control of the flight !

I recorded a video using Ultra settings:

Awesome. How did you physically map 1:1 to virtual joystick?

How did you manage to set this up? is their a tutorial on youtube?
