Question for VR users, keyboard/joystick become unresponsive

Question, on a long flight of more than 2 hours, I’ll switch over to Desktop mode and after a while the headset (HP Reverb G2) will go to sleep. When I come back to the flight, I’ll wakeup the headset and then flip FS from Desktop to VR mode. When I do this, the joystick and keyboard are non responsive, the mouse is OK but I’m unable to control the aircraft. The only key that works is the ‘esc’ key, nothing else. I can get back into Desktop mode and the joystick/keyboard are still not responsive. I can go into Settings/Controls, reassign keys and reassign button on the joystick without issues, go back to the flight, nada. Has this happened to anyone else? And if not, can someone try this? Curious To recover, I ctl/alt+del to end FS

Yes same here happened a couple of weeks ago the trigger for the bug was using the 787 though all other planes I tested are fine but a reboot of the sim is needed for me after it happens otherwise it locks all planes after sitting in the 787 cockpit.
An half fix i found was to load up the 787 as the 1st flight of any fresh load up then I could move about but then the engines wouldn’t burst into life, gave up in the end trying :upside_down_face:

Hi,
Happenned to me today as well ; joystick was not responsive. Even unplug / plug in did not work. Had to disable VR (ctrl + tab) and enable it again to make it work.

Yup I can attest also…the 787 was the culprit.
I thought I was going crazy. I lost operation of all control surfaces except ailerons
no autopilot or anything on.

I’ve had it happen to the 747 as well. Thanks for the replies, I’ll update my ticket

Hey! I am also having that problem with the 787 engines not working! Do you know of a fix?

@ picoplanetdev One thing I noticed was I was on external power and the engines would not start. I flipped the APU to start (with external power) and the engines started.. I also noticed in my Content Manager, all of the aircraft had updates waiting, so I’m downloading and installing now. See what happens.

Thanks, I will give that a try.

I dont no, I gave up and ill wait and try the beast at a later date.
