I'm planning to get into DCS in VR, initially to have a play with the Warthog. I managed to pick up the Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog controllers and noticed that the Warthog DLC has glove support. Ideally I would like to play using VR, the Stick/throttle combo, and my hands. I'm not fussed about feedback (and not willing to spend thousands of pounds on the haptic gloves), so is there a simple golve solution that simply allows me to see my hands in VR, and interact with the cockpit with them? I'm using the Rift S at the moment.
VR Gloves (NOT haptic)

I really like that homebrew pointctrl, especially at that price. You weren't kidding about the price on the Captoglove - way beyond the price I'm looking for. I have found a few home build options which might make amusing projects - or I'll wait for the Quest Pro to come down in price and grab one second hand.
I've picked up a Quest 3, which has pretty decent hand tracking built into it. Has anyone tried it in DCS? Be nice to be able to interact with the cockpit without having to pick up a controller. That said, the HOTAS setup seem to have everything needed on stick and throttle, so I guess if I can find it all blind I might not need anything else.
I had stumbled across those, and will probably have a go at some point. The biggest issue (of the long shopping list of issues) is the bulk - they really are an either/or with any other sort of controller. Using the HOTAS, they will just be in the way unfortunately. I've seen a few ideas that all have the same issue (strapping the VR controller to the back of your off hand, so you can grab it when needed was one, but again - you then have a bulky controller swinging around.) I do love thse ghetto gloves though - can definitey see those in my future, and I needed a project for the new printer 
Ouch - It's a shame that we are still in the industrial space pricing wise! Even base level haptic feedback would revolutionise immersion in games that were designed for it - but I guess if that's the cost of admission, no-one is going to build for it.
