Realizing that this may be opening a cup of worms, nonetheless, this is not intended to be a thread to debate whether HOTAS or HOSAS is supreme.
Instead, I just want thoughts from people who have tried dual stick with pedals and how they control their throttles - do you put the throttle on the stick, and if so, what do you use your pedals for (yaw plus... what on the toe brakes)? Or do you put the throttle on the pedals, and if so, is it toe-brake for throttle or the pedal axis for throttle? And if you are using the throttle for pedals, what do you put on the other pedal control (i.e. toe brake or pedal axis)?
Specifically, I'm currently using a Vive with an X-55 HOTAS and CH Pro Pedals, but I'm interested in trying HOSAS. I've got a lefty Thrustmaster 16000m, and while I could use its dial for throttle, that would require removing my hand from the stick... which both violates the whole hands-on philosophy, and may be somewhat difficult while wearing the Vive. So instead, I'd like to put the throttle on the pedals, but I'm not sure whether to have it on the pedal axis, or the toe brakes. And if I do put it on the toe brakes, for example, is it awkward to have yaw on the pedal axis at the same time?
Thanks in advance...
