No reactions in PMDG 737. Can move mouse but cannot push buttons nor do anything in cockpit? Old Bug?

Xbox series s.

Purchased the pmdg 738 with the skins (had the pmdg for flight sim x on pc).

Worked ok a few weeks ago.

Booted up today, informed me there were mandatory updates which I let it download.

All of a sudden (i have the hotas thrustmaster, keyboard and mouse all connected) it will not let me select any buttons inside the pmdg cockpit, with any controller, even the xbox controller.

Reset the xbox, plugged all out and back in - nothing at all.

All other aircraft are responding to all controllers.

:ok_man:

Just restart PC 2 times in a row and then enter Microsoft Flight simulator 2020 and it should be fixed. It worked for me

I have this same problem. Mid flight (1 hour into flight) I am unable to select any of the buttons in the cockpit. Keyboard and joystick buttons are not working. I can control the flight path and throttle with the joystick, but cannot lower gear or flaps. I had this once before, and it fixed itself after a few days, wish I knew how to get it working again, without having to exit the sim, and have a wasted flight! :worried:

Has the fix been published to MSFS store? Im getting this issue from the beginning, canā€™t do a thing. Apart from moving the reading lights :slight_smile:

Yep. The further you get into the flight more issues come up. I had the altimeter setting knob go crazy on me. Alarms went off. I hit standard and the knob went crazy. The trim wheel on the auto pilot the same. The cabin pressure knob. Then for some reason the throttles stop responding couldnā€™t move except manual. Meaning you had to move one by one with the mouse which is not good for landing.

Iā€™ve had the -700 and -800 since release and not once has this problem come up. The last couple of days this has happened on a regular basis every flight. The whole cockpit just locks up all of a sudden and there is no recovery. There is no way to finish the flight.

So whatā€™s the deal? Is this done on purpose so we make the switch to the 777? As far as I can see thereā€™s no workaround so far.

this is not just with the pmdg, it happens on other a/c as well, although on the pmdg it seems to be more prominent, i have a feeling that it started with su15, but im not sure
