• I use a different flow, I am going into VR prior to starting and do the walkaround in VR. Upon entering the cockpit I cannot interact with anything. If I switch into menus several times, eventually the mouse will start working again, but it’s several times in and out.

I was able to get the mouse back to normal by switching from VR to 2D and back to VR in flight.

Although it may work by switching from 2d to 3d, the problem I have is that when I switch to VR, I have a black screen blocking my view which will not dissapear until I go into menus and then back out again. And then mouse doesn’t work. :frowning:

Same issue, makes VR almost unusable. How could this not have been found during testing? It truly boggles the mind.

Along the same lines, sometimes if I change settings while using VR when returning to the flight I get a CTD.

Same for me as OP. Truly frustrating. Hard to believe testing of VR in the sim was so poor given all the misleading hype from spokespeople about VR in 2024.

+1 same problem for me.

Same here!! When basic stuff doesn’t work, it is Very frustrating. Lot of hours adjusting/tweaking. Sad indeed!!!

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• Pimax Crystal Light. Mouse clicks will be enabled for ~ 2 minutes then all clickable options become unuseable. need to exit VR mode and/or go to settings and conduct a random search under control tab to re enable clickable zones in cockpit.

I also have the exact same issue I have a Pimax Crystal and run a Ryzen 7950X3D with Nvidia 4090 graphics card.

I have the same problem.

Though a better workaround than switching to 2d then back to VR is to hit escape again to go back to the menu options, but then hit escape again to go back into the flight. Do not use the mouse to click anything on the menu screen. Just ESC to go to the screen, and then ESC back into the flight. I think my mouse has worked with the cockpit controls every time after doing this.
