FlightGear unresponsive after keyboard input

Postby thomas_w » Wed Sep 23, 2020 3:35 pm

Hi there

I was running FG with the default C172 model. Everything seems to be working fine. However, from the moment I press any key on the keyboard, FG stops responding to any mouse or keyboard input. I cannot even select the tabs on the menu bars. FG is still running : the engine is running and I can hear the engine noise, the clock is running...etc. The system did not crash: I could still open other program and use my mouse and keyboard after FG becomes unresponsive.

Some information that may be useful:
Version: FlightGear 2018.3.6 and FlightGear 2020.1.3. This issue appears in both versions
Input devices: Only the mouse and the keyboard
Aircraft model: C172P. I did not install other aircraft nor other scenarios
Keyboard keys that trigger that problem: any of the keyboard keys triggers that problem
Keyboard: Dell USB wired entry keyboard
System: Windows 10 Pro Version 19041.508

I have tried plugging the keyboard into other USB ports. Still cannot solve the problem.

Any ideas? Appreciate your help.

Did you try any other plane? I'm not an expert, but that's what I would try (finding out if it's a FG problem or a plane problem).
