The sim activates random key bindings without my input

[Pizzahut88]

I have been noticing that every time I begin a flight, my sim at random points will do things such as open the cockpit, put the landing gear down, things of that nature. I am not pressing any of my key binding for those on my HOTAS or keyboard. Not sure what the issue is! Thanks.

 

Happy Flying

Sounds like the infamous Foo pilot gremlins. ?

I’m randomly experiencing something similar that is very difficult to replicate. Sometimes when I fire both fire groups my canopy will open and the MP chat window will open. And sometimes when that happens my cannons won’t stop firing until I’m out of ammo.

 

I have carefully gone over my key bindings but I just can’t find a conflict. Oddly, the above only happens during a dog fight, not when ground attacking.

Any solutions. I came back to the game after some time and I experience the same thing.  In multiplayer Flying circus, when I get into dogfoght trouble , map randomly opens. And now when playing a SP in Mig-3 there was a random external view when I hit bf-109 over Staligrad. It is very weird.

I have managed to reduce this problem but not entirely eliminate it. I still sometimes have the chat window open when I am firing my guns, and occasionally my guns won’t stop firing. This all takes place in MP on the Finnish server (that’s where I fly almost exclusively, and I could never replicate the issue in SP).

 

To prevent my canopy mistakenly opening when firing machine guns and cannons, in game key mapping I changed Fire_All_Guns from default Space to LAlt + Space, and also changed Fire Weapon Group 1 from default Ralt + Space to Space. This allows me to avoid using any Ralt command when firing guns, which may be what sometimes caused my canopy to open and the chat window opening when I fired all guns using my two joystick buttons at the same time. Note that this also makes Fire all guns the same command as Fire weapon group 2, thus making my cannon button always fire all cannons along with machine guns - but I am fine with that to stop the issue with my canopy sometimes mysteriously opening during dog fights.
