MSFS 2024 – A350-900 EFB limitations in VR Mode

[Changjun]

Hello everyone,

I’d like to ask whether other users are experiencing the same issue regarding limited EFB functionality in VR Mode on MSFS 2024 with the A350-900.

When running the simulator in VR Mode, several EFB functions appear to be restricted or non-functional.

Affected EFB functions

• Wheel chocks apply/remove

• External power connect/disconnect

• SimBrief import

• Fuel entry and apply

• Weight entry and apply

• Other related EFB interactions

Because wheel chocks cannot be removed and fuel cannot be loaded, it becomes impossible to operate the aircraft from the gate.

I’d like to ask:

• Are other users experiencing the same behavior in VR Mode?

• Is this a known limitation or an unintended issue?

• Are there any known workarounds or a full solution available?

Current system specifications

• CPU: Ryzen 9 9800X3D

• RAM: 64 GB

• GPU: RTX 4090 FE

• VR : Quest 3 (Virtual Desktop connect with Virtual Desktop)

Any feedback or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Hi. I am our resident VR disciple and can confirm all of these functions work without issue on the A350. 
My guess is you are moving too close to the EFB and that is causing an input issue as you're breaking "though" the input cursor plane. 
Try moving your head back a bit and see if full functionality returns.

That does sound like the issue.

It seems that, in VR, the cursor isn’t registering clicks properly at certain positions.

Since it does work when I'm very close, it’s likely that something is interfering with part of the EFB’s functionality.

As you mentioned, checking whether it still clicks properly when you move a bit farther back makes sense.

Given that the EFB is mainly used right before the flight, it looks like the flight itself should be fine for now.

Thanks for the response.
