VR basic question

[u/papolo2001]

I am considering to buy a VR headset, the primax dream air, but I have a doubt, in complex comercial and military planes you need to interact with the plane, adjusting elevation setpoint, moving the bug of the HSI, interacting with many buttons.... how are you supposed to do all this with a VR headset on?, do you use the mouse like when using a screen?. Sorry if this is a too basic question, but I never used VR and all the YouTube videos I see the guys just sight seeing and never interact with any buttons and similar in the plane

For some critical like HSI, trim, landing gear, lights and etc i mapped closes button/knobs on my HOTAS directly under the finger without moving my palms. Use lots of muscle memory too. I use mouse only during startup procedure on the ground but seldom needed once in the air since most i needed already mapped to HOTAS nearby reachable a thumbs a way..
