Hi Dan,
I have a HOTAS Warthog controller, so I have some controls mapped to the stick and throttle, although with the VRS Superbug I haven't yet set up the separate HOTAS controls. Last night was actually the first time I had tried the F/A-18E in VR, so it was just using my stick and throttle and all other functions controlled in the cockpit with the mouse. I didn't have any issues and I played with quite a few screens and switches. I had the resolution set to the second highest setting, which isn't great now I'm used to the highest setting, but the performance was great. I was averaging 30/90 FPS over ORBX Global textures and Open LC US.
As a comparison, without changing any other P3D settings, tonight I was flying Ant Lynch's Eaglet over ORBX England (region) with a few add on airports in the area with the highest resolution set in Flyinside, and I was averaging between 13/90 and 20/90 FPS. It is still pretty smooth thankfully, but you can notice when the frames are lower.
For prop planes I have two axis set up on my throttle for mixture and prop RPM, as well as throttle obviously.
Cheers,
