REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
-
In free flight, select either the Standard or Fairings variant of the Piper PA-28 (the issue affects both models)
-
Select a parking spot at any airport. Set the weather to clear skies & the time to daytime (just for convenience)
-
Start the flight. Either with the mouse or a peripheral button, remove the chocks to confirm that the “Interact” control binding is correctly bound & interacting with the aircraft. E.g. on my system, this binding is assigned to the “A” button on my Xbox controller.

Actual behavior: Nothing happens.
