(VR) Ability to disable auto switch to mouse/head mode

Sep 04, 2018 Wind Employment link
Hi. This maybe limited to just a few of us right now, but it is worth pointing out. I have bought a new controller for VO but the problem I am experiencing is sometimes if I put it down for a moment (about 5 minutes) the controller times out and puts itself to sleep if I am not using it. VO picks this up as device disconnected (probably because it is, nothing wrong here) but it then switches my control scheme to mouse mode and if I select "no" at the prompt when it reconnects (done it a few times by mistake by hitting the headset trackpad), then I have to restart VO or disconnect/reconnect the controller. Going into the control menu and setting it back to controller mode does not work

I understand why this happens by default, as you may have a battery die and then not be able to fly/dock but please can you add the option to disable this feature? Another problem is that I have been experimenting with different head tracking modes, and after this switch whatever mode I was in is set to OFF when I select yes on the prompt so I have to go into VR options every time and turn head tracking back on.

Hope this makes sense to you. But a simple option under VR to untick would be nice, so if my controller disconnects VO ignores it and just waits for it to reconnect. Thank you in advance for any consideration given to this.
