Can't suddenly press buttons?

Featured Replies

Hi,

So im flying the TBM and after a while in the sim I can't seem to press any buttons? i can steer and press the quick menu but it wont allow me to press anything inside the aircraft??

How do I solve this problem?

 

Thanks in advance!

Had the same a few times now. By just pressing <esc>, (which brings you in an active pause) and resume the game brought back the working mouse.

Good Luck.

Lost the ability with the mouse right click and view option in the cockpit earlier, also my view was ever so slightly moving left.

 

Turned out it was my xbox controller (which I use for Drone cam), nothing was touching it, but as soon as I moved the right thumb stick and let go the mouse started working again - so it was like the game was seeing input from that rather than the mouse.

It´s not only on the TBM. I´ve got the same on the Caravan. Everything in the VC freezes.

I could bring the mouse back with two middle button presses.

I just had the same issue with Airbus. Lost all ability to interact with anything with the mouse. I ad to exit the flight because I could not figure out how to get it back.

Same here when it happened to me. Of course it took 40 minutes of clicking and trying all sorts of things to discover that double clicking my mouse wheel unlocked the cursor to become normal again.

None of the suggested fixes are working for me, suppose I'll have to wait until an official fix.

For those with multiple monitors, I  had that problem whenever focus was lost on the game monitor.  Left click the mouse there (even if you can't see it) and focus is restored to the game monitor , making all controls and keyboard available again. This never happened in P3D.

You guys are describing two bugs widely reported on the official MS Forums:

1. Virtual Cockpit buttons suddenly becoming unresponsive. Some people say this may start working again  randomly, in my case I did a save/load (with all the implications of that).

2. Losing controller control when mousing out of the Flight Sim window (even detached FS windows have this behaviour). For this there is no workaround.

 

I would suggest you make sure you report them to zendesk on your own, to make sure that Adobo/MS knows both are issues that need attention.
