See https://youtu.be/i1fBdhTaTyI how you can reproduce it with MSFS in safe mode.
Microsoft Flight Simulator Build version
MSFS 2024 tech alpha and 2020 1.36.2.0
Steps to reproduce
- Start MSFS in safe mode to avoid conflicts with community content
- Assign elevator and ailerons to a joystick within MSFS
- Load any stock aircraft with glass cockpit element (TBM 930 for instance) and ensure the assigned controlls work well
- Undock a glasscockpit gauge
- Start moving around your joystick continously so that you see the inputs on your VC
- Start moving the mouse cursor over the undocked panel while continuing to move the joystick around
- As soon as the mouse is over the undocked panel the control inputs are not received/accepted by the MSFS main window. The controls “freeze” on the position they’ve been when the mouse entered the area of the undocked gauge.
- Move the mouse cursor away from the undocked gauge while still moving the joystick will lead to MSFS catching up the movements and applying it to the in-sim aircraft.
Expected result
The assigned controls in MSFS work as long as the sim is running, no matter where the mouse hovers or which application is the active window. Like in P3D, XPlane, FSUIPC, AxisAndOhs, SpadNext, Mobiflight and all the other applications.
Actual result
Controls assigned in MSFS stop working when the mouse hovers over an undocked glass cockpit gauge.
Repro Rate
Every time (100%)
Hope that helps, and we get it fixed soon.
Disabled controls make the aircraft not flyable. Undocked panels are standard in larger home cockpit setups and this bug was confirmed by the developer of Popout Panel Manager for MSFS 2024 as well.
