This was a constant issue in VR for me until yesterday. Esc/restart/continue worked each time, so I assume it’s a threading issue at load, but that’s just an assumption. Testing a new vanilla install today. Will report any new issues.
First flight, jumped in the 208, no changes, no installs, got the Ready to Fly button, all good. Perfect flight.
Second flight, Cessna Longitude, no Ready to Fly button, and no multiplayer labels. Esc, restart, continue, Ready to Fly button displays fine along with mutliplayer labels. Will test for multiplayer related settings.
