[RESOLVED] After exit a table, PinballX does not close VPX reliable

[FRAQATTAQ]

Little update. I don`t know exactly what happend, but now pressing J when I play a table brings me reliable back to the PinballX menu. The only thing that I noticed is the following. Pretty often If I start the next table, the buttons like start and coin do not work. I have to remove my VR glasses, go to my mouse and leftclick on the active window for the game. Then everything works again in VR, too.

Yes, ! 
your log is now showing that you press the key which will let PinballX close VP instead of closing VP by yourself
I see that Exit emulator and quit PinballX is now the same key . Maybe that fixed the issue.
About VR not focussing.
Thats a common issue with VR.
For the discord VR team, I wrote a small program 2 years ago :
it's a lightweight app. Just run it once and it will go to your system tray

 

You can leave it there and when you launch Visual Pinball, it will set focus to the VP player .

If you click on the icon, it will bring the program to front and you see the logging.
Clicking on the X will close the program and minimize it, will hide it to system tray icon.

I hope you can now enjoy VR with PinballX

It looks like the ini file changed. In the previous ini file when you thought that exit and quit were both set to key J they weren't;

[KeyCodes]
quit=74
exitemulator=81

But they are now;

[KeyCodes]
quit=74
exitemulator=74

It's the change of the exitemulator key that has fixed your original issue.

@Mike_da_Spike

Thanks a lot. When I'm back from work later today I'll give it a try and let you know if it worked. 

@scutters

Thanks for additional explanation. 

The letter J on the keyboard was a random choice of mine. I just made sure that I chose a letter that was not in use already. Finally I guess I have to transfer this now somehow to my pinball controller so I don't have to use the keyboard anymore. I hope this won't cause any further problems.

Glad it is solved. Yeah program works for multiple users. And not just for PinballX. Also other frontend and even for users without a front end. PinballX is doing a good job as well, but this tool is bringing the vplayer for 30 seconds to foregrounf
