If a fix does not come soon, it would at least good to know what exactly is this light-sensor for and if we can safely disable it.

I think someone said above. You can just undock the window before enabling VR --> box disappears. I haven't noticed any negative consequences of this.

I understand, but I am still curious what this sensor is, considering that it seems that there is no functionality loss when it is disabled. 🙂

If you use the left mouse click with any of the shift, control or shift + control combinations it’s easy to move or resize the white window to nothing. If you change views it comes back but again very easy to move it or resize it to nothing.

i know the config mod works but for now a little patience for PMDG to fix this and anything else they have uncovered is reasonable with a very easy work around for now.

Now that it was just announced (7/27/18) that the Operations Center will be pushing updates to the PMDG 737NGX and PMDG 777, will there be a fix for the Light Sensor that is causing a "white box" to appear when in VR?

PMDG,

 

Any fix since this was posted more than a month ago? Should we regress to the previous version of v4?

Any update on this. I still have this problem and I’ve just moved to p3d4.4

For what aircraft? This has been fixed for the 744. For the rest of the planes a manual fix is needed

It's on the 777-200LR (and 777-300ER as well I think) and it doesn't have a "Light Sensor" entry in the aircraft config file on either models.

Not having a light sensor is not possible. Open a support ticket from the support portal (support.precisionmanuals.com) and will look at it.

it's in the 777 panel.cfg

window18=Light Sensor

the aircraft.cfg doesn't handle the cockpit panels, just the views.

Thanks Marc that's where I was going wrong. Found it in panel.cfg and working fine now.  Thanks guys.
