chromium

Hello,
I tried to reproduce the issue and, since the info available are not that much, I tried in this setup:
- Map Caucasus, Ka-50 III, Beslan airbase, daytime
- starting in cold & hot setup
- Once in cockpit, without doing anything else in specific, asked for changing HMD to NVG
- Once got the feedback from the ground crew, pressed H to activate. All went fine in both C&D and hot configuration start.
HW setup:
- Oculus Rift-S, using oculus app Ryzen 3600 CPU, nVidia 3090.
Attached there are mission, track, and log.

I bet something in specific is going on on your side, would you try my mission and send track & logs also? That might help a lot.

I also see from your log that you're loading a couple of hooks files, one of them is also failing:

I would suggest also to retry without these files active to be sure to avoid conflicts 🙂
