Switch from VR to PC Mode messes up flightplan / autopilot

[TheRealOli4D]

When in autopilot with a flight plan, for example a landing approach, and then switching to PC mode via “ctrl+tab”, the autopilot / flightplan gets totally messed up.

This is some very odd and super annying bug:
When you fly in VR, with a flight plan active, and then jump into normal PC monitor mode, the autopilot jumps back to an earlier waypoint!
Makes absolutelly zero sense.
Super strange.

The jumping back and forth between VR and PC monitor view is really great, but absolutelly unusable when it messes up the flight plan.

Regarding screenshot: I was actually flying with autopilot perfectly on line between ZH280, getting closer to ZH281…
As soon as I left VR via Crtl+Tab to enter PC monitor mode, the plane started turning around, adding that odd pink line you can see on the screenshot, flying away from ZH281 to do some super stupid curve to re-enter the whole approach at LSPA.
WTF?

Obviously a bug.
Has anyone found a solution to avoid this?

Thanks a lot

See Flight plan disappears when toggling VR mode

There is a work-around involving the VFR Map… Which has a bug report listed:

Turning VFR Map Toolbar Off then On resets flight plan to default

When the VFR Map toolbar is changed from OFF to ON it resets the current flight plan to the default flight plan for that flight. Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered: Detail steps to reproduce the issue encountered: Setup a flight plan in the World Map and press Fly Now. Once loaded enter a new flight plan, toggle the VFR Map Toolbar off then on, watch the flight plan change back to the original one you loaded the flight with. This behaviour also appears to occur…

The good news is Zendesk responded to my ticket today on this very issue to say it had been added to their internal bug tracker. So it will be fixed in some future update.

Closing this as a duplicate.
