Fsx crashes when "interact" button pushed

Hello,

I have the following problem:

When I start a Flight in FlyInside (Oculus Rift, FSX) with certain Addon Aircraft, it works at first for maybe 10 to 30 seconds. Sometimes more, sometimes less.
Then the screen freezes for a few seconds and the game crashes.

I tried this on two different Operating Systems (Win10 and Win7 64bit) with the following Hardware and it didn't work:

Geforce GTX 970
Intel Core i5-3570K
8GB RAM

Thanks for any help!

Dima

Ok I found out that the crash only appears when I push that "interact" button to interact with the cockpit.

But still it is kind of unpredictable. Most times it crashes in the moment I push the button. Maybe 2 or 3 seconds later. Sometimes it does not happen at all.

Is that a known issue? Does anybody know a solution?

Thanks again for any help.

Could you let me know which add-on aircraft this is with? Sounds like a compatibility problem we can fix on our end ;)

Thanks for your reply!

I don't think that the addon planes are the problem, because I had that with the vanilla DG800 Glider too.
At the moment I only have the trial version.

What controller are you using and what Button have you assigned as the interact ?

Any chance you could both e-mail me, dan@flyinside-fsx.com ? I'd like to learn more about these interaction crashes.

I noticed the same thing. The problem was fixed by making sure the FSX window on my monitor was the focus. I just lift my headset and click on the FSX window on my monitor as part of my preflight. A related issue was losing focus again because of clicking something on my taskbar while mousing around the cockpit. This was largely mitigated by moving my taskbar to the side of my monitor.

Also, when the FSX window on my monitor is not the focus, I can't activate the mouse in cockpit to click on something; I never see the cursor. I guess the others haven't gotten this far who have the problem cuz they press the interact button first thing.

This is a very good tip, thank you for the info regarding window focus+interact. I'm going to take a look and see if that's consistent and how it can be fixed :)

Thanks,
Dan

Hi
Has their been any progress on this? I seem to have the same problem. FSX 9 times out of ten seems to get a fatal error & restarts (in non VR Mode) whenever I press the interact button.
I've tried to make sure that fsx is always in focus (but sometimes I press the button accidently), however I still get a fatal error. This is really starting to become a
problem for me now, as I doing longer flights in VR.
