I could not find a way to join either the Common or Coalition voice chat rooms while playing DCS in VR. I confirmed I was in a voice chat enabled server, and brought up the voice chat window by pressing Ctrl-Shift-Tab. I could see the window in the upper left with "Push to Talk", plus the Common and Coalition chat rooms, but in VR there does not appear to be a way to interact with that window. I suspect I needed to click on either the Common or Coalition rooms to enter it, but the visible cursor does not interact with that window, only the clickable cockpit. Is there some other way to enable interaction with that window? Or is there a hotkey to enter one room or the other? Was playing with a friend who was not running VR, he was able to enter a room. Everything seemed to be set up correctly but that was a show stopper for me.

I'd agree with this suggestion. I'd also love to see more campaign missions that don't involve a 70NM ingress/egress to get from your home airbase to the AO. I realize that this might be more realistic, but I internally groan every time I pull up a mission briefing (not just in your campaigns) and see a long cruise segment. I almost always set it on autopilot and crank up the time compression, or even put on autopilot and go do something else for 5 minutes. Once in awhile long flights are fine, but it's nice to get up in the air and right into the action. On a side note, I finished TEW 3.0 last night and the entire thing is just phenomenal. I've been flight simming since the days of Microprose, and this might have been one of the best single player sim experiences I've ever had. Really well done, thanks. I'm looking forward to all your future projects.

I had the exact same problem. Same situation, same result. I ended up circling for awhile, and finally the two F-16s (Colt) started attacking. Once that happened, Overlord started talking on 302.5 and the rest of the mission proceeded normally. That first check-in with Overlord didn't work though.
