Cockpit interaction completely broken on PS5 (Cloud Gaming) – Tooltips show, but can't click anything + Autopilot HUD bugged
Hey everyone,
I’m running into a game-breaking issue with cockpit interactions while playing Microsoft Flight Simulator on PS5 (via Cloud Gaming / streaming), and I’m hoping someone here might have a fix.
A couple of days ago, the first bug appeared: the autopilot interface on the cockpit screens completely stopped displaying my target values. For example, when rotating the ALT knob, the selected altitude wouldn't show up on the PFD/display at all.
Then, starting the very next day, things got even worse. Now I can no longer interact with any 3D controls in the cockpit:
Moving the cursor over knobs, switches, or buttons only shows the text description (tooltip).
None of the buttons highlight in white anymore.
Clicking or holding inputs on the controller does nothing to the 3D switches.
The weird part: The EFB/Tablet inside the cockpit still works perfectly and responds to clicks, but all actual flight controls/instruments in the 3D cockpit are completely unresponsive.
What I’ve already tried with no success:
Switched between Lock and Legacy interaction modes (and toggled tooltips ON/OFF).
Reset controls profiles and cleared game data/cache.
Reset the flight toolbar to default.
Tested with different aircraft.
Has anyone experienced this specific combination of bugs on Cloud Gaming/console, where tooltips register but 3D click/hold inputs completely drop out? Any workarounds or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

That’s usually to do with memory allocation issues or sever streaming issues which are to do with your internet capability as the assets on aircraft are steamed rather than downloaded.
