VR Controllers not working HP Reverb

[mhaviate]

Such an awesome plane. Controllers work for the MSFS menus but not for the cockpit switches. Must be some way to get it working? HP Reverb G2. Open XR.
Thanks

@mhaviate I was able to find a fix for this myself.

1. In windows VR settings activate VR by key press rather than putting headset on.
2. Assign a joystick key to activate VR in MSFS.
3. Run MSFS in windowed mode. I keep it small to reduce burden on the system.
4. Leave mouse pointer somewhere on the windowed MSFS and not pointed at the desktop.
5. Activate VR. (MSFS will still be visible on desktop monitor with mouse pointer in the scene)

Now the mouse and the VR controllers will be able to select things. If MSFS is minimized to the task bar, as normally happens when putting on the headset, then the mouse and controllers will not work.
