How to join CZ in VR with Horizons comms panel bug?

Hi all,

With the current bug which makes it impossible to tab around or do anything much in the comms panel when you look at it, could someone tell me how I can pick a side in a Conflict Zone when playing in VR in Horizons?

It's always been a little flaky for me - the two sides pop up in the comms panel, but I always used to have to do a bit of tabbing between sections, clicking into and out of chat, etc. before it would actually let me highlight and select a side. With the current bug, it's just downright impossible - I simply cannot select which side I want to fight for.

Any suggestions? I'm playing on PC using a PS4 controller, but I have Voice Attack so I could bind a keystroke if one exists which will let me pick a side.

I was playing VR in Horizons last night (only play in VR, and only play in Horizons), and able to join CZs no problem at all. Have done so many times since update 7.00 and 7.01 were release.
I don't use the "look to activate" function for any of my panels. I switched to manual activation of these a while ago when I found it easier to keep track of objects when turning my head when the panels didn't automatically pop up and obscure my vision - also made searching for asteroids with the PWA while mining much easier.
I use a HOTAS with a shift-state on one of my hat switches to turn on/off each panel, and turning on the comms panel to sign up for a side in a CZ has been working perfectly.
So perhaps just a manual toggle in the control config to turn the comms panel on manually?
I didn't actually know there was a bug currently...

Yeah, I'm trying to switch to manually triggered comms panel now, but I can't remember the key combination to open the HCS voice packs customizer in Voice Attack so I can find the command for it, and the HCS documentation is utterly useless so I can't find it anywhere.

There is a lot of swearing going on right now... :ROFLMAO:

Good luck - I could never bring myself to use Voice Attack, always felt like a goose talking to my computer (and was also sometimes gaming in a shared environment), so have every control mapped (some through shift-states) to my HOTAS.
The swearing helps...
