Problem:
Since a recent update, ESC key and keyboard input is completely non-functional in the cockpit for ALL aircraft except the Fenix A320. Mouse camera movement still works. The simulation runs normally but UI is frozen/unresponsive.
System:
MSFS 2024 v1.7.27 (Steam)
Windows 11
NVIDIA GPU
WINCTRL URSA MINOR 32 Joystick
Affected aircraft:
❌ All default aircraft (Cessna 172 etc.)
❌ INIBUILDS aircraft
❌ PMDG aircraft
✅ Fenix A320 works perfectly
Already tried:
Disabled all overlays (Steam, Xbox Game Bar, NVIDIA)
Empty Community folder
Fullscreen mode
Disabled FSUIPC7 in EXE.xml
Disabled StreamDeck software
Reset UserCfg.opt
Disabled fullscreen optimizations + run as Administrator
Cockpit Interaction System only shows „Classic" or „Lock" – Modern option missing completely
Key observation:
The Fenix A320 uses its own input system and works fine. All other aircraft using the native MSFS interaction system are affected. The „Modern Interaction System" option is completely missing from settings.
Question:
Has anyone solved this? Could the missing „Modern" option in Cockpit Interaction System be the root cause?
