Aircraft Hit 'glass wall' on the ground when the EFB is open

Bug Reporting Hub Virtual Reality (VR)

If the EFB is opened up in VR (not in the stowed position that some airrcraft use - C208 for example) and you are on the ground, taxingling landing or taking off, the aircraft randomly and abruptly stops dead, as if it has hit an invisible wall. at very slow tay speed, this prevents the aircraft from setting off. At higher speed it causes the aircraft to abruptly stop, spin or flip over.

This dows not seem to happen in external view

This happens every time the EFB is opened up in VR mode, irrespective of which airport you are at.

There are several of us in a flight club and all experience this issue, and have tried this in single player and multiplayer and it does happen in both scenarios.

We have tried opening and closing the EFB with the TAB key when this happens on taxing and closing the EFB removed the glass wall.

We have tried this on dozens of aircraft and it has the same effect on all (native 2024 aircarft and aftermarket aircraft)

I’ve had this issue starting with SU3, issue can be seen https://www.youtube.com/live/oLX1UYWneUc?si=5TvXNofLwdj_pX-K, seems to be selective when it happens. Switching to flatscreen and back can fix if it doesn’t crash the game, can’t replicate in external view only internal.

I can confirm the same issues when the EFB is open in VR when taxiing, on low level approach and on takeoff. It happens on most airports in the sim, 3rd party or native.

Same issue here. Have the same issue even without EFB opened in extra window but i can verify the statement that it does not happen with 3rd Person (external) view.

It is very frustrating when it happens in career-mode :neutral_face:

Happens mostly at take-off at higher speeds. Taxi seems no problem. Only happens on ground.

I feel like I’ve had this issue happen even without my EFB tablet opened.
