This is a small one. It would be great, if after after starting the Piro Trainer for the first time ("Z" key), the "Lock Position" would be enabled. So effectively Piro Trainer could be enabled with one button press.
As it is now, you need to press Z and then additionally click "Lock Position" with a mouse.
When it is needed, is of course in VR, where it is always messy to remove the headset to access the mouse.
In my case, I use an AutoHotkey script, and I can press "Z" key with a radio switch, which allows me to toggle the piro training on and off. Very useful. But for this to work, I need to initially enable "Lock Position" with a mouse...
@Klaus-Eiperle , may we have the option to Lock Position for the airplanes too, please? That would a very cool training tool for learning various plane maneuvers. Preferably, Lock Position while able to pivot on all 3 axes. Thanks so much! :)
I thought I'd share an AutoHotkey script that I'm using for neXt, maybe it's useful for somebody.

This allows me to change time scale, reset the helicopter and turn piro trainer on/off all with the radio. Especially useful in VR.
For this to work one needs to have many channels in the radio and configure them so they become joy / gamepad buttons (FrSky really works great here) and adjust the script to use proper button numbers. The first number - 1 (in 1Joy..) is a gamepad number. This might need to be adjusted to if there are multiple such devices in the system.
Now you can assign the simulation speed to a transmitter channel. Go to Settings > Input Device > Functions, press the key o and you can assign the time scale.

That would be a great function. But I can't get it to work. I'm trying to use a knob visible as channel 6 in neXt. But after going through min/max steps it maps channel 5 to it. And time scale does not work. Do you need a video?
Then you should switch off the channel 5 before you assign the time scale input element. It sounds like you have a flickering input signal on channel 5 or you have moved these channel by yourself.
Channel 5 is a 3-pos switch which I use to switch banks / RPM and it looks like it isn't fluctuating. Can you check the vid? Maybe I do sth wrong. Also weird thing is, during time scale calibration the check box next to ch5 changes value, I don't know why. But I'm not sure what this check box means..
I try to use channel 6. At the beginning if video I'm switching channel 5 too - as you can see it's a switch.
I just realized that I moved know to minimum first, and then maximum, while instructions on screen are opposite. But it still assigns channel 5 if I do it otherwise.
Yes, now it works. Great function. I already had a script to change time scale with radio buttons, but this frees 2 buttons on my radio, and allows all others to have time scale changing without messing with scripts. And no need for time scale window for this to work - this is great.
You might want to consider one improvement. I think it would be good if middle of the channel would give 100% speed (currently 80%). A lot of knobs on radios have some "detent" (stop) in the middle, and it would be nice if this would be 100%. For me it's not critical and I can easily make it in OpenTX, but just a hint. Could easily change time scale range to be 10-190 to achieve this..
