SU9 Workaround for random irresponsive switches

Featured Replies

Hi

I've logged this on the Zendesk and also the FS Forum but the 'VR Toolbar' issue (that got us VR users pulling our hair out last year) seems to be partly back.

It appears to be affecting a number of aircraft, not least the new JF BAe146 - but I have replicated it on other aircraft.  It is a bug in the base MSFS program.

Symptom

While in VR, and with the Toolbar open, you hover the VR mouse over a switch, button or knob and it lights up blue, but won't press, toggle or twist

Which switches does it affect?

Seems to depend on the aircraft.  For the 146, so far as I have found to date, it is the captain's FD toggle, the ILS frequency knobs and 3 of the Autopilot buttons...but it may be others too

On other aircraft I have found the same problem, but on different buttons and switches

Workaround

Once you have used the Toolbar commands you want - close it and the inoperative buttons and switches will immediately work again, even if the panels you opened from the Toolbar are themselves still open (eg ATC dialogue box/Map/etc).  It seems to be only the Toolbar itself that is causing the problem

 

Hope this reduces the stress and confusion from assuming something in the aircraft or piloting is wrong.
