That would relieve the work of having to constantly tweak the yaw if there is any wind to hold heading. Something where you could pick a heading and then have the vessel hold that heading (maybe by manipulating the yaw automatically if it drifts off by 1 degree or something). It’s really cool in VR - I bound 10 views to various locations around the vessel and was pretty easy to get around once I had the views bound to This is a pretty cool concept!! If you don’t mind, a few enhancement requests (not complaints Just for the future roadmap maybe) - A simple autopilot would be nice. I think I had about 10 knots of wind directly off the port beam (lol now we get to use nautical terms in this sim I love it ) Worked out ok and ended up having some fun with this. So I bound my left-right on my hat switch to simply yaw left and yaw right… I find that I can pretty much hold a good-enough heading by just finding the sweet spot of yaw using clicks of the hat switch.

After a bit of messing around with this last night off the coast of South Beach Miami, FL I figured out that using the yaw axis wasn’t working.
