It seems that MP is totally empty now. Or maybe I am running the wrong version.
I am hoping one of you guys can help me. When ever I press the right controller āmenuā button in order to keep grip of the flight stick, the game menu button comes up. Is this the button you are meant to use to keep a hold of the stick? I always thought it was. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as itās extremely frustrating pausing the game and going to the menu each time I want to keep my hand stuck to the stick!
Hey,
No, you would use the āgripā button for the stick and throttle grabbing.
You can hold it permanently or you just tap it shortly in proximity of the virtual Stick/throttle and it will stay
@Lennyman, if I were you Iād choose a different controller profile in SteamVR. Just choose the most popular user made profile for whatever controllers youāre using.

I finally got hold of this- and OMFG! This simulation is brilliant!
I launched it for a quick test- managed to cold start the helo without issues (easy peasy!)- and took off my VR headset an hour and a half later! 
LOVE IT
More coherent thoughts later tomorrowā¦ but what a game, guys, what a game!
Makes me think of what Microprose would have done if it was borne these days.
Faux-complex, deep, engaging, easy to pick but hard to master, immersive and FUN FUN FUN!

Thirded.
Harkening back to the (modern sims lack the joy of the classics) discussion of a few days ago, I got bored really quick with the helicopter. What content there was could be played through in a couple of hours. And multiplayer was filled either with asshats or with players who had the three available missions memorized down to every move. By now there is probably some enjoyable 3rd party content with depth. But the aging kid in me wishes it was all there in the box.

Vr cpntrols only but you CAN use your rudder pedals. Which i do, as twist rudder makes my teeth itch
Likewise, I removed the stick twist and rather use the controller thumb stick!
The controller controls in VTOL VR is the most brilliant part of it!
