The default for right mouse button in VR is “VR cockpit focus” so pressing right mouse just zooms into the button area instead of allowing the knob buttons to work.
I can unassign right mouse from “VR cockpit focus” but pressing right mouse would just re-center the mouse in the field of view without enabling the knob button.
Has Asobo tested this knob button in VR? Is there a solution?
With SU5 they introduced new mouse interaction styles. Have a look under Assistance Settings and mouse interaction. Before SU5 mouse interaction was “legacy” and this allowed you to pull and push knobs like those you describe. If this is set to anything by “legacy” the new method of pushing and pulling is holding the left mouse button in while then pressing the right mouse button (pressing together not one after the other). Hope this helps you.
The new mouse interaction requires a right mouse click, while this right mouse click is already reserved for a different function in VR!
Either, there was no real testing, or the VR community is considered to be of no importance, or it was just a dumb oversight.
Be that as it may, I am somewhere between annoyed and furious about this, because I fly in VR exclusively, and I can not interact easily with the cockpit anymore.
Asobo - for no good reason - broke something that was working before… What were they thinking?
No, it is not a “killer bug”, at least not in my opinion.
I fly the CRJ every day in VR. With the latest HF an the CRJ update, the plane is quite flyable.
The fact that the knobs can not be pressed is annoying, no question. But it is only a small inconvenience to turn the knob instead, in order to get the right heading or barometric pressure…
And I am quite sure that this will be fixed in one of the next updates…
I do not understand your post. There is no issue pulling and pushing buttons in the FBW A320. How do I change the mouse function for the CRJ700 to legacy mode? I have looked in the options you suggests and cannot see anything of relevance.
Just hover over the buttons for 5 sec. or so, and and the mouse pointer will turn into the hand.
Nothing for hectic moments during your flight, but at least it works.
