After leaving the hanger as I transition from the cockpit to the gunners position the game in VR crashes. The mirror on the desktop is still running the game but in the headset it's locked up. Tried re starting multiple times with the same results.

Mhm... that is one of the 'special' missions where some things are hardcoded into the game. It might not work with VR.
Could you try to load the cheat pilot and see what happens when you fly a skirmish with one of the YT transports and then switch to the gunner position. Does it still crash? If not you might just have to do that one mission without VR.

That fixed it. Played that mission in pancake. Thanks for the heads-up!

Did you check if you can enter the turret in a regular mission though? Because there will be other missions were you have to use the turret. I hope it's just that that hardcoded bit though.
