Lightly and partially squeeze the VR controller trigger to see a green laser appear. Alternatively, you can use “laser manipulation” to interact with objects. It will light up green, then push or pull the knob to adjust the setting, for example. Grab the throttle of the Cessna 172 by pressing and holding the trigger near it. In general, the manipulators in and around the aircraft function the way they would it real life. Feel free to try other aircraft but be aware they may have limited functionality & use. The default fleet (minus the SR-71) is VR-ready but 3rd party aircraft are probably far less usable in VR unless you use the 3D mouse to interact with the cockpit. From here you can access the main menu, all settings, and any pop up warning screens. Once VR is up and running on all devices, you should find yourself in a virtual hangar in X-Plane. You can turn VR off by unchecking the box in Settings, or by using the large blue Disable VR Headset button in the X-Plane window on the computer. As long as your headset is attached, there will be a check box at the bottom to “Enable VR hardware.”
