Want to enjoy the single player campaign but.. yeah bit hard when it doesn't move on.. Pilot just stays there in the arms up position.. am in vr. But can confirm also happens in NON VR for me.

Edit: UNLIKE the forced 'Accepted Answer' by EA (which I didn't accept mind you) Doing what some one suggested and changing from 'Mashed' to 'Hold' seems to have an impact on this issue.
