I have DCS A10C flight sim with Thrustmaster Warthog Flight Stick and Throttle. If i am wearing an Oculus Rift how am I going to be able to use those flight controls if I can't see them.

It's a HOTAS. It's specifically designed to be used without looking at it 🙂

You'll probably learn to find most switches etc blind eventually, but you may also want to look into Voice Attack. It is used for issuing voice commands which can be very helpful.

Here's an example:

Part of the reason for using a HOTAS is you don't need to look at it.  At least the major controls should be right at your fingertips.  My X55 I really only need to feel around a bit to get to the toggle switches along the bottom and side of the throttle base.

What I'd like is to know is where there is a list of what games will work with the X55, I absolutely hate the xbox controller design and have never used one, but halve the games in my Oculus library were wasted purchases and require a child's toy to use.  The Oculus store just says "controller" even when real input devices like an HOTAS can be used.

Basically, any game that can use a joystick should be able to use the X55.  If you can set the axis and buttons, then it should work.
