I noticed that VR issues were not addressed such as the sizing of the cockpit. "I also can't seem to sit up in the cockpit without my head sticking out the ceiling or the window. It is as if the cockpit is not sized correctly," when flying in VR.  Will this VR issues be addressed or is there a workaround?

There's a bug with the Direct-To buttons for the GTNX units in v1.1.0. Discord user Slartibart has found the fix:

> `GTNXi` needs to be replaced by `GTNXI` in the file `objects/525_CLICKABLES.obj`
> Looks like the commands, eg `TDS/GTNXI/DTO_1`, are case-sensitive.

Pending an official update, this can be fixed by the user. Back up the file first, then open it with any good text editor e.g. Notepad++, then find and replace GTNXi with GTNXI. Any problems, replace your modified .obj with the backup and try again before asking for official support.

The above fix worked like a charm, thanks!

2 other very minor things I noticed.

- When you turn the avionics switch on, you hear the "minimums" call out.  Not sure if that's normal.

 - Passenger briefing volume is extremely low, almost nothing.  I've tried all sound sliders, and the volume slide control on the left console, nothing helps

I'm ready to believe the "Minimums" callout is a feature of the radalt, not any of the Gucci RNAV upgrades, and it does play that callout on self-test... however if so the self-test takes place instantly and that's a bit immersion-breaking for me. Two ways to fix it:

• Turn the radalt bug all the way down/counterclockwise, as it's the radalt needle finding itself suddenly below the bug that triggers the callout
• Back up and edit fmod/CJ525.snd with a good text editor, search for "minimum", you'll find a block of five lines relating to this callout. Put a # at the start of all five lines to comment them out. This disables the callout completely though (but perhaps the aircraft owner didn't specify this option)

The third way is to use some fmod-fu to make the callout activate when on the approach or when testing the radalt by moving the bug, but not on power-on, but that is beyond the scope of _this_ thread
