No, N/A ??? I don’t have any custom scenery installed.

Brief description of the issue:

This is weird. I’ve spawned several aircraft at airport PATK (Talkeetna Alaska), at any parking spot. When I do so, none of the cockpit controls work. Can’t move my yoke, nor use my mouse to flip switches or move throttles. Did this with Asobo Bonanza, Black Square Bonanza, Black Square Caravan. In same FS2020 session, I’ve spawned plane at other airports, everything works fine. Back to PATK, frozen. Rebooted computer, did not fix. Probably related, but a couple of times I’ve spawned a flight here, but aircraft is “invisible”…I’m just sitting on a tarmac with no plane. Restarted flight, plane is there, but still has frozen controls. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this before.

Adding to the mystery. I flew from a different airport (PAHV) to PATK. Landed fine, taxied off the runway to the parking area. At that point none of my controls worked. This is bizarre!

If you have the Rolling Cache enabled, have you tried after emptying it?

Yes, have it enabled. Cleared it, retried, same behavior.

6

If you disconnect your yoke, are you able to use your mouse to flip switches or move throttles ?
Disable all other types of addons (empty community folder) and make a test again, it is not necessary an scenery addon that could cause a conflict.

Further clarification: my yoke, separate side-stick, rudder pedals all don’t respond, nor do mouse clicks on any control.

Re: clearing Community folder: I’m getting a new PC in a week. Since this is such an obscure problem at a single remote airport, I’ll wait until I get that set up to see if I can repro.

Brand new gaming machine, problem solved! Able to spawn at PATK with no issues, so we’ll call it a “curiosity”. I’ll mark this as solved, though I see Feedback was logged.
