solved VR offline

[brianzinn]

The experience when controller 3d model is not available (ie: offline or slow to load) does not seem to degrade gracefully and offer a workable controller (ie: forward ray with no model and working buttons).  Maybe an option like "allowControllerInteractionWithoutModel" would be better, but it feels like this:
https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/blob/master/src/Gamepad/Controllers/babylon.windowsMotionController.ts#L109
should be:

if (this.browserGamepad.axes) {
    if (this.browserGamepad.axes[2] != this.trackpad.x || this.browserGamepad.axes[3] != this.trackpad.y) {
        this.trackpad.x = this.browserGamepad["axes"][2];
        this.trackpad.y = this.browserGamepad["axes"][3];
        this.onTrackpadValuesChangedObservable.notifyObservers(this.trackpad);
    }

    // Only need to animate axes if there is a loaded mesh
    if (this._loadedMeshInfo) {
        for (let axis = 0; axis < this._mapping.axisMeshNames.length; axis++) {
            this.lerpAxisTransform(axis, this.browserGamepad.axes[axis]);
        }
    }
}

Likely something else is involved here, so need to investigate more to find the underlying cause for sure, but I was unable to demo my project offline!  In the future I will set the MODEL_BASE_URL for all models and store locally.   Has anybody else had trouble with VR controllers offline?  A cursory look at the code seems to have fallbacks on everything...

MODEL_BASE_URL is supposed to be used for this specific case. So if this is not working I would like to get a repro as it should work

[brianzinn]

The repro is just to not have a model loaded, so load this in WinMR:

Can you create an issue on the repo? Would like to track this one
