GSX is not highlighted in the toolbar so it doesn't pop up and go into VR mode and it will not load. 

Please clarify what do you mean with "will not load". The menu won't enable itself, unless you left it enabled from the previous flight.

So, with "will not load", do you mean you expected to be automatically reopened as soon as you switch in VR ? Because it's not supposed to do that, you must open it manually on entering a flight and then, all subsequent opening/closing can be done using the GSX Hotkey.

I mean the main fs menu or toolbar at the top.  The recommendation from the other thread you merged with this one was to make sure you disable gsx in the toolbar before going to vr and then reenabling afewe you get into VR.

But like this post is reporting, the menus are broken. They are essentially invisible.  This only happens with GSX enabled. I'm not sure if you programmed some work around to keep the GSX menu open or to overwrite some UI element in MSFS. But GSX is completely breaking the main menu and toolbar in VR. When this occurs it also causes the sim to hang when exiting your flight.

So you're in VR with invisible menus. So exit VR to get the menus back and exit the flight back to main menu and it hangs going back. Infinite load screen. You have to force close MSFS.

I'm going to roll back to an older Pimax Play and reinstall and configure my crystal and report back here.

And it's precisely why I AM sure we haven't touched ANY stick MSFS file that I said it's not happening.

GSX doesn't break anything. Maybe you have installed *another* add-on that DO overwrite the stock UI files from MSFS ?

I tested it today again, no issues whatsoever. Pressing TAB shows or hide the main toolbar, as usual, and everything works normally. Please provide AGAIN precise, exact, reproduction steps, so I'll it try it again, maybe you are doing something I'm not.

That's the thing. The only Addon installed PMDG 737-800 and the A2A comanche.  I emptied my Community folder and reinstalled GSX and fired up the 787, 747, and a Cessna 172. No menus or toolbar.  I go and deactivate GSX and boom. Menus and toolbar work like they are supposed to.

Running the latest Windows 11 24H2 build running Pimax software version 1.33.

As I've said,  I tested this multiple times, and cannot reproduce it.

Something so obvious should be easy to reproduce it but, as I've said, not only I have the normal menu toolbar fully working, but I can even enter/exit from VR with CTRL+Enter multiple times, even in the middle of a Pushback, the menus keep working, and everything's working.
