redtail Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) This has been causing me issues for awhile now and I have finally narrowed it down to the option to ..Hide on-screen text. I've been able to reproduce this problem (bug) numerous times. I have to keep that box un-ticked. With the box ticked, the only way to start the mission is to hit the pause key a couple of times, which can be a challenge while in VR. See attached pictures.

Sent from my SM-T835 using Tapatalk 2.5.6 OB (latest update), Standalone. No other mods. I was able to duplicate the issue on two different PCs running Win-10 (latest build). One is my main desktop PC, i7-7700, 32gb, 2080ti. The other is a gaming laptop with a 2070 GPU.

hornblower793 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I have just replicated this on my machine as well - I also fly VR and have found that pressing Escape (which I have mapped to a button) to bring up the pause / resume menu also works.

I will drop Hollywood a support e-mail asking him to look at this thread / issue Thanks. It was driving me nuts and although not a show stopper, I was determined to troubleshoot and identify the culprit. It pays to have a second machine to test these issues on. ~Redtail~ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower793 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Hollywood will look at this but it is part of the hiding on-screen text There is a simple voice-activated workaround and that is to add a daisy-chained VA command in another VA profile linked to VAICOM which 'presses' pause a couple of times. Imaginatively, I called mine 'Start mission' and it works like a treat with no need to fumble for keys Windows 11 Home ¦ Z790 AORUS Elite AX motherboard ¦ i7-13700K ¦ 64GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 memory @ 5600MHz ¦ Samsung 990 Pro 1TB SSD for OS, Samsung 980 Pro 2TB SSD for DCS ¦ MSI GeForce RTX 4090 Gaming X Trio 24GB ¦ Virpil WarBRD base with VFX grip, Thrustmaster A10c and F/A-18 grips ¦ VKB Gunfighter Mk4 and MCG Pro ¦ Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle ¦ VKB STECS Throttle ¦ Virpil TCS rotor base with Shark and AH-64D grips ¦ MFG Crosswinds ¦ Total Controls Multi-Function Button Box ¦ Pimax Crystal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your workaround is a good idea. I'll try it ~Redtail~ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzger Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 +1 on this issue, very annoying. Disable hiding on-screen text works, however pressing pause then hit briefing and fly only works for SP missions. MP with slots you don't get the screen to select a slot.

Not only MP, but also custom made SP missions with multiple client slots. I made a few basic SP practice missions like that and this was driving me nuts, until I figured out the culprit. ~Redtail~ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
