Same issue that the buttons in the bottom of the menu are cut-off and also sometimes not clickable. You have to scroll and then they are clickable. Often only the first menu item/reponse is visible.

I also have the same issue, every time.

I have the same issue and it makes ATC impossible plus communication with ground services for push-back, etc. I’m using a HP Reverb G2 while flying the B737Max. The ATC window appears very large and at the bottom the reply options are cutoff and cannot be accessed. Resizing the window does not help. I haven’t checked with other aircraft or in non-VR mode.

9

I have same issue, the buttons and options in the bottom of the menu are cut-off and also sometimes not clickable. The scroll down side bar is glitchy, can you make the button response window a bit wider it’s too narrow to see the options.

Same issue here. Mission and ATC windows are now too big. Options in ATC window are hidden

smae issue

12

Same issue as described, latest build as of today

13

Same issue, I believe it has been like this from release? As a side note, it shows the thumbstick icon to indicate the ability to scroll up and down in the menu using the VR controller thumb stick, but it doesn’t work

Hi all,

Can I ask if this was an issue previously before the SU2 Beta, or has it only materialised within the Beta builds?

I’m trying to search the Bug Reporting Hub > Virtual Reality (VR) category to see if we already have this issue reported previously.

Thanks

This, for me, is since the SU2 beta.

Only occurred since su2 beta for me. Since first build if recall correctly.

There used to be similar UI layout issues prior to SU2 (buttons halfway visible and co), but SU2 makes it far worse and plain unusable (whole list of possible atc answers is invisible most of the time).

It is to a point where i am currently writing a small package with a custom simplified ATC UI so i dont have to constantly switch in/out of VR.

Also in non vr mode, we still have weird layout issues with halfway visible buttons. Nothing like in VR but still pretty annoying.

I just pushed my custom package to github: simonferquel/msfs-vrfriendly-atc-ui.
It is a bit rought around the edges (e.g. resizing the panel is sometimes impossible for a reason I can’t figure) and it does not work in career mode.

The project sources are availble if anyone wants to contribute.

If you just want to give it a try, you can find a zip in the project releases to unpack in your community folder.
