Altitude/vs knob and efis switch problem
-
I have been experiencing problems turning knob to select altitude and vertical speed. The knob lights up when mouse cursor on it but can't be adjusted. Sometimes if I pop out of vr and back in it works sometimes not.
Second problem is the eifis switch will not turn on the avionics. Worked at first but every flight for last few days it will not turn on. Switch lights up when mouse cursor on it but will not flip up or down.

Given your description, this sounds like a simulator problem, not a TBM problem. Have you ever experienced this problem with other aircraft? Many have noted similar things happen with the interactions and animations after long simulator run times, where pointing the camera in the wrong direction can cause the animations to lock up. This sounds like it might be related, since you're using VR.
I'm happy to take a look at a video if you want to share, but this doesn't sound like any kind of bug that my software could produce.

@Black-Square I haven't experienced this before on any other aircraft. I was going to download again and reinstall today to try that. Can you explain what you mean by "pointing the camera in wrong direction".. I want to experiment today to resolve the issue as it is impacting my enjoyment in my favourite aircraft so far.

I have found what is causing it but dont know how to resolve it. I have made a short video to demonstrate.

Very interesting! Thank you for making that video and explaining what you've seen. Does this happen with all the controls in the cockpit, or is it just those two? I've seen YouTubers who use lots of windows in VR with no problem, so I'm sorry that you're one of the unlucky ones.
Unfortunately, I still think this is very unlikely to be anything related to my aircraft, but I want to help you in any way I can. Please keep me updated if you learned anything else. Usually I have some recommend Discord server or forum for people to take their issues to, but this is an usual one. Are there any VR specific communities for MSFS that you might be able to ask?
Just to answer your question, sometimes the animation system can get stuck and not take any inputs, literally if your camera is looking one direction. Sometimes this happens to me while developing, and I have to restart the simulator. You can look directly at the panel, and nothing will work. Look out the side windows, and suddenly all the animations will catch up with any changes you've made. Look back forward, and everything will get stuck again. I don't think that's what you're seeing here, but it's possibly related.
