Tried that. It was already set OFF.
Further investigation. When AAO started with sim, after a while it seems to lose focus and my xTouch mini becomes unresponsive. If I then exit VR and simply bring AAO to the front, it all works fine again for a while. Starting AAO manually, I do not ever have this issue. Any other things I can check?
Whenever I choose AAO to be started automatically with MSFS2020, my xTouch Mini invariably becomes unresponsive after a short while and I have to close and manually restart AAO. If I chose not to start AAO automatically, but start it manually after the sim has loaded, I never get this issue. Any ideas?
