loss of control input in VR

[Avalanche110]

This is an odd problem that has been happening for a while.

Flying in vr, if I Alt-tab back to the desktop. then back to DCS, I loose controller inputs in the sim. everything is still working normally, its like the input commands are not being sent to the correct application. Its been an issue for me for at least a couple of years, I just avoid changing windows when flying VR. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if there are any possible solutions. This is not module or terrain specific. 

on the log provided. it was a free flight on kola with no other units, scripts etc. I lost all buttons on hotas controls, axis commands working ok. voice attack commands not working, keyboard inputs not working.

Fresh DCS install, no mods, lots of winwing controllers, voice attack, Pimax crystal.

Hi. Is this something you willfully unplugged during game? (it happened 5 minutes before you exited the mission)

It's probably another app which takes exclusivity over your devices. Close all unneeded apps then run DCS, Alt+Tab twice, then see if the issue goes on.

If the above does not help, read these:

Thanks Flappie.

yes the eye chip is what I alt tabbed to disable. (Eye tracking for crystal)

I’ll try the solutions you provided.

thanks
