I recently purchased VSKYLABS DC3 / C-47 for X-Plane 11 because they'd added VR support including the ability to grab the yoke, and various levers, buttons and knobs with the VIVE controllers - which is my preferred mode of flight.
It's a real treat on my VIVE.
Doing a preflight walk around the aircraft is a pleasure (I've got a room-scale setup), and once the engines rumbled to life, the compass suspended on occy straps jiggled! You can almost taste the oil in the back of your throat.
The company is just one guy, a retired pilot, and he's done a great job. He's even managed rain effects for the windshield. I have emailed him asking him to add what X-Plane's Laminar Research refer to as "realistic mode" for grabbing the yoke with the VR controllers - currently it uses "ergonomic mode". I've also asked him to add "latching" - so you don't need to constantly press down the controller trigger to continue using the yoke.
I know some of you guys really like DC-3's so I hope this is useful.
