Just updated and I can’t do anything. I point to the yoke to turn it off, and I get a blue popup that doesn’t do anything. I point to a switch to move it and I get a blue popup that won’t let me do anything. How do I fix it? Thanks!
It’s the cockpit interact setting. Had to go to youtube to find it. Nice job guys. Get rid of it…

It’s under the Accessibility menu.
Go into your controls settings and change “Cockpit interaction - primary” and “Cockpit interaction - primary (lock)” to left mouse button (or whatever you want).
If you don’t want to use the alternate style of cockpit interaction with the blue highlights, go into Accessibility options and change Cockpit Interaction System from “Lock” to “Legacy.”
However, if you do a lot of flying that requires you to click on stuff in the cockpit, I would recommend you at least give the new “Lock” mode a chance, as some people do find it to be an improvement in usability.
what does “lock” mean for this feature? what does it do, its very confusing with a question mark comes up and it doesn’t work and you can use the mouse to turn knobs, etc, it’s almost like that blue stuff is for VR or something (but my vR settings are off)
It’s called “lock” because you use one input to lock on to the specific control you want to interact with and another input to adjust it. The purpose is to prevent your mouse cursor or whatever from drifting on to another control.
The question mark means nothing is bound to input. You need to go into your control options and set “cockpit interaction - primary” and “cockpit interaction - primary (lock)” to a mouse button or whatever you want it to be.
It is worth mentioning, that introducing this new interaction mode also introduced some bugs such that some switches just no longer can be used at all. Just one example, in the C172 you can no longer turn the power and/or avionics power switches off/on.
I mention this because, people that land here will go into settings and change the interaction mode back and think everything will go back to working as usual. Sadly, that is not the case.
The only work around for the switches that can no longer be interacted with is to bind a key to it.
