Perfect flight ruined by this focus capture bug

Featured Replies

Normally I cut Asobo a lot of slack. But right now I am fuming. A perfect flight from DAL to TPA completely ruined because of this idiotic behavior of the Xbox controller to light up and capture random items at the worst possible time. I was on a half mile final with the PMDG 737, perfectly setup to land after a flawless flight, and lo and behold, somehow the RESET button on the 737 panel is captured by the hidden (apparently), formerly banished, invisible white dot, and totally locks up any action of the controller, including the throttles, the control surfaces, and the ability to move the camera. And the only way to free everything is to hit the escape key on the keyboard, stop the flight, and resume? And of course, at that point your approach is completely ruined.

What genius designed this behavior?

Like I said, I am normally super supportive of the developer, having an IT background and understanding how complex this software is, but this just makes me madder than you know what. Yeah, I know, first world problems, but give me a break.

There have been several "strange" design decisions that defy logic since 2020.
