guns fire on first launch of the day

[JimmyC]

When I first log in my guns automatically fire when I spawn on to the runway.. its been annoying but in the scenario..diabolical..
I do have a new stick..Gladiator.. it never happened with my old stick.
after the first sortie it does not happen again..
does anyone have this problem or ever had this problem..
its not what I want happening..
any thoughts/info would be great

Since it's a new stick, something might have changed in your controller mapping. If so, the strange thing is that it doesn't happen every time.

However, check your mapping for every controller. The main suspects are mouse and pedals, in the latter especially the none-middle-full positions of the toe brakes.

It's my secondary fire button..when I press it it stops firing
Then works as normal again.
It's just the first softie of the day...
I tried to sort it by upping a jeep in the MA.
Released troops in the vh.😃
It's a wee bit odd

Sounds like your secondary fire button is assigned to some weird controller.

I repeat my advice of checking all of the controller mappings, adding one more thing to check. As you know, there's several controller profiles available in AH. You'll have to check them all.

I have random weapon firing too when pressing the two different talk buttons.  It comes and goes.  Weird.

Beware of and odd default setting in the controls that sets a pedals to a min-med-max setting to fire the guns and look up.

Had this same problem in AH2 several months ago, it turned out to be my mapping had gotten scrambled up.

Premature gunfire is a bad problem to have... Glad you got it sorted!

[JimmyC]

Definitely..it was going off everywhere..any sniff of a con..left right and center..getting real messy..Glad I got the problem under control.
I believe in talking about this out in the open
.the more people talk about it the more it removes the stigma..maybe it will help others not feel embarrassed..its just a stick control management issue..it could happen to anyone.

[Dobs]

I find if you keep you hands off your stick it lessens the chance...

--- its just a stick control management issue..it could happen to anyone.

Exactly. The way I know about it is that it has happened to me a couple of times totally out of the blue.
