Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
This is similar to bug 193808, where the saving and loading of “flights” also causes a freeze up in VR.
I reckon it will have the same root cause, which is that MSFS is loading up a modal dialog that is inaccessible to the user somehow
