Hi, Just to let you know that when loading into the plane you are greeted with a head tracking message even though i wasn’t using any. easy to get past the message but just annoying. [Screenshot 2026-03-03 202156] Also noticed that if you spawn in at the runway in the fenix a320 the init request …

The message about the latest version, 1.7.16.0, is no longer showing up on my end. I don’t know if this is the case for everyone. So the bug may have been fixed.

I apologize if I’ve confused the issue here. • I have two PCs • My sim-rig has been on SU4 after the first SU5 Beta broke my Tobii. I have remained on SU4 since, on this PC • My laptop has remained on SU5 Beta My comment was only to provide a statement that the issue isn’t universal and is not h…

So this is really annoying in VR, as I normally go into VR before loading a flight. The popup practically softlocks the sim then, as the popup is shown already when you first have to click the “Ready to fly” button. But you can’t press it, because of the pop up. And when already in VR the key combo…

I had my Tobii 5 turned off, but still saw Tobii in the list of controllers last night, the first time I fired up 1.7.9.0. I got the pop-up message too, though the combo was different.

As a Tobii user, I’m now in a funny position: In previous versions of MSFS, I’d always spawn in with the camera view behind the pilot, so I’d be staring at the back of their head until I reset the view. However, in SU5 Beta the camera seems to load in more or less correctly but I still have to res…

I don’t get Asobo’s obsession with invasive message boxes that cannot be disabled. They seem to love these.

Agreed. And as mentioned above, who is this message even for?? If you have some sort of headtracking device, you probably know by now to reset if needed. If you don’t have such a device then this message serves no purpose. I assume it’s just an artifact of the troubleshooting/beta process and wil…

There are now a number of posts spread across several threads that outline an issue with vJoy and Tobii.

See:

Asobo needs to address this. It seems to be intensified with SU5 Beta. I don’t understand why they haven’t looked at this, as they have been working on Tobii integration improvements.
