Same here. Using the mouse doesn’t work either.

Have to switch out of VR to press button then re-enter.

I have this issue too, even though I don’t use controllers. Please edit the post, or even the title, to make it clear that this is a general interaction issue (mouse and keyboard can’t start the flight either), not just a VR controller issue.

Same issue - not sure the controllers work correctly after starting the flight either.

The “Ready to Fly” button appears, but cannot be pushed using either the mouse or the touch controllers.

Reverting to 2D mode, the button behaves as normal, and flight can start after returning to VR.

Same issue with new SU4.

Same here. Have to leave vr to press the button in 2D. Flight with mouse control is normal after returning to vr.

Same issue.

One workaround (from earlier betas) is to press ‘walk forward’ (default W key I think) and that’ll highlight the ‘Ready to Fly’ button (sometimes). It then saves having to come out/into VR again.

Same here: In VR: “Ready to fly” Button is not clickable → Switch to Non VR → “Ready to fly” Button works
