Hi, folks. I've Googled and read through forums and still don't have an answer. I don't see anybody else even asking this question so I presume I'm doing something colossally stupid but I can't figure out what.
When FI first starts, I press a button to recenter. Then I get two panels. On the left panel, all the buttons are greyed out because it's "waiting for simulator." If I select Large Desktop View, on the right panel, I see my whole desktop including the running FSX but I can't interact with anything using the blue dot (and yes I have an "interact" button defined). When I click the interact button to select something in FSX, nothing happens. Same if I try to do it with the mouse.
The only way I can get a flight going is to take the headset off and use the mouse on the desktop monitor. That works for some reason.
So how do I interact with FSX in VR initially to setup a flight? I can't figure it out.
