VR user response to SU8 Mid beta update

They say they will release a new build in the coming days. At first I thought this was good news for us VR users but then I read further.

So this problem WON’T be resolved in the coming few days?

  • While using VR, mouse over the panel or Garmin avionics locks up rudder: This is currently by design and only affects the Rudder Axis command. If you bind your rudders to another command (e.g. Rudder Axis Left), then you will be able to manipulate the rudders while your mouse is over panels. Our other suggestion is to move the mouse cursor off the in-flight toolbar, menus, and flight displays while you use your rudder. We understand this is not an ideal user experience and thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Rudder Axis Left? Is this an analogue axis or a digital (on/off) axis? If it is a perfect replacement for the currently used rudder axis, why make the 2nd suggestion?

What does the expression “this is by design” mean to you? To me, it means that the rudders failing to operate whilst mouse is hovering over toolbar windows is intentional and deliberate. What the f___?
