Crashed exiting VR in Challenge. This poses an extra challenge as I assume the bug introduced in the last update () still exits. That leaves us no way to complete a race challenge using VR.
I’m using Quest 3 with Virtual Desktop.

Same for me - 7950x3D/4080/Quest 3.
Same. First time in Beta SU5.
Entered VR mode in Free Flight menu. Hit Shift button to center camera. Loaded into plane and I was sitting 4 feet right of the co-pilot seat outside. Hit shift again to recenter view. As soon as I hit Cntrl+Tab to exit VR mode, the screen went black with a distorted mouse arrow and crashed.
I have the same problem. Quest 3, VD, 4090.
Quest 3 Meta Link - same issue
As I reported in the main thread, I get this 100% of the time I exit VR. Whether I started a flight or not. I am using a Quest3 with VirtualDesktop on a 4080 Super.
One side note is that on my first load of SU5 beta, VirtualDesktop also updated, I knew that one was on the way. So I can’t say whether it has any effect on the crash or not, in the same way that I can’t tell whether how much of the performance boost is done to VD and how much to the game.
I rolled back to SU4 and VR is not crashing anymore.
So the VD update doesn’t seem to be the root of this issue.

Appreciate the info on that. So definitely an SU5 coding thing.
Also CTD when leaving VR modus. Pimax Crystal light…
I’m using Quest3 with Virtual Desktop (VDXR) and can leave or enter VR as much as I like. No issue.
