Delay in App, can’t progress to other scenes – DJI Virtual Flight Review

So I’ve connected the motion controller and googles (and FPV drone) updated the firmware, updated apps... but there is a crazy lag of like 6 seconds every time I start the first timed trail before the simulation of the drone even starts moving forward... it starts engines, rises, and then finally shows the circular site guide and moves forward... as I lay on the trigger. I can’t get past a slower speed range... so I’ve only getting one star on the first sim at best and can’t move to any of the other sim scenes because you need a certain level of star points to unlock them... what’s up with this thing.
