if you are both having a similar issue, I'd suggest joining the Virtual Desktop Discord and posting the issue there.

Do you have another program open on the desktop, underlying the area you've shown? I had a similar issue where I couldn't click menus (when I tried to click on a particular menu item I would get a Window Out of Focus error.) By reducing the window to the tray it resolved the problem. The other thing you could try is a complete repair of DCS through the Updater module to make sure you don't have a corrupted file somewhere.

In the Special menu, turn both to on and set the dead zones in that menu to Zero. Then in Axis tunings play around with a small dead zone for pitch and roll.

I found a post a few days ago that recommended turning both on, but setting the dead zone to zero on the Special menu page. Then setting a small dead zone for each axis in the Control section. I set a small, 3-5% dead zone on each axis and saw a noticeable improvement on mine.

I too have been interested in OpenXR Toolkit, but this advice on the Github site has stopped me; "AS OF 2024, SUPPORT FOR OPENXR TOOLKIT IS DISCONTINUED. THERE IS NO NEW DEVELOPMENT AND NO TECH SUPPORT OF ANY SORT. THE DEVELOPER DOES NOT RECOMMEND TO INSTALL/USE OPENXR TOOLKIT, AS IT IS KNOWN TO CAUSE ISSUES WITH MANY OF THE NEWER GAMES RELEASED IN SINCE 2024" Any comments on the above statement?

I just placed an order through the Winwing USA web site. The order had no added Tax. Are you sure you're not on the Global shipping site?

Right Hardpoint power on should be: LCtrl -LWin - W. Off is LShift - LWin - W.

@NIGHTHAWK1 I'm curious if you're using a link cable or Virtual desktop? I haven't been able to get hand controls to work well with either method, but Virtual Desktop seems to be a little better. I've been using HTCC but even that has detection issues with pinch control movements.

As far as I know, Virtual Desktop is through a wireless connection, regardless whether or not a link cable is used. The link cable in this situation will keep the headset charged and that's about it. That said, I came across the video linked below that describes how to hook the Quest 3 directly into a wired router and use Virtual Desktop. I just ordered what I need to try this so it will be next week before I know whether or not it will work.

Who makes the stand that you're using?

If DCS crashes, there should be files that end in .crash and .dmp. Otherwise. you should have a log file called DCS.log and dcs.log.old (the previous version of the last dcs.log file.) Both can also be opened by using Notepad++.

Have you checked for any crash logs in the Saved Games/Logs folder? I've recently had issues with DCS failing to load and found that it was another program causing an Access Violation error. The Logs can be opened with Notepad++.

Did you make sure your developer account setting are active?

Don't know if you're still having issues, but I was just able to get hand tracking working in DCS while connecting via link cable. First, in order to turn on the Devoloper Runtime Features, Meta - in their infinite wisdom - requires a Developer account. You can get the account either by setting up a business or by submitting ID verification. I chose the latter and it took about 48 hours to get back the approval. Second, I've found an app by the same developer who does Openkneeboard called Hand Tracked Cockpit Clicking (HTCC.) This app gives you a cursor in the cockpit for both hands (as long as you hand is visible to your headset cameras. You can then use finger gestures to flick switches and turn knobs. (It will take some getting used to.) If you go this route, make sure to read - and then re-read - the instructions for setting it up on the web site. If you need help, the developer has been very responsive through the Discord channel. Meta, and by extension DCS, certainly doesn't make this VR stuff plug and play.

What link cable are you using?
