Is there any way to remove the blue highlight from the buttons in VR when I’m pointing with the controller? It’s really annoying, and the trick of switching the cockpit interaction mode to "legacy" only works in 2D. I was able to fix it on the iniA350 by editing an XML file, but I can't find anything similar for the A380.

Hi,

I'm not entirely sure as I do not have a VR headset. I will forward this to the team for further clarification.

Thanks for your patience!

Thanks! I’m asking for something that should be equivalent to avoid the blue highlights in “Lock” cockpit interaction mode in 2D, because in VR it’s like the only interaction mode available it’s “Lock”, instead of “Legacy” mode that naturally don’t have the blue highlight.

Hi,

This may be a limitation of the sim, just waiting for some clarification on my end.

Thanks again for your patience!

I have the same problem but im not using VR. When I fly fenix it is ok but with a380 it is highlihted. Any help?

Hi,

Please ensure you have the Legacy cockpit interaction system set in the MSFS settings. I've attached a screenshot below!

Thanks 🙂

Thanks, but that’s not a solution for the issue. Because if I would like to use “Locked” interaction system I get the annoying blue highlight, and in VR there isn’t a “Legacy” mode, so the blue highlight stay there.

Thanks for the clarification. Seems like a sim issue then no?

Yes and no. In default works with blue highlight in locked mode, but the majority of third party aircraft like Fenix, BlueBird, iFly or PMDG keep the blue highlight away even in locked or in VR mode. In the iniA350 it’s possible to disable the blue highlight editing one .xml file called interactions or behavior or something like that, but I can’t find that file in the A380, maybe because is the MarketPlace version. Time ago in MSFS 2020 Fenix offers two separated interactions.xml files, one with the blue highlight and other one without it, because is a common sense in the sim community that this is an undesired effect.

Interesting, thanks for the clarification. I will forward this to the team for further clarification.

Appreciate you taking the time to explain!

Legacy interaction mode works normally in VR in the A350 as shown in these images - (note the cursor is not highlighting and using the action arrows vs the drag method)



Can you confirm you're in looking in the correct menu page - General>Flight Interface> cockpit interaction system.
You shouldn't need to edit any .xmls or use a mod to remove this.

Thanks Steve, but that because you’re using the mouse, if you grab your VR controller, like is supposed if you’re in VR, you will see the blue highlight independently of the cockpit interaction mode selected. And yes, we are talking about the correct menu setting.
