Cockpit actions without reasons
-
Hi all,
during the last two months I have found some strange issues during my flights. The problems is that randomly some instruments in the cockpit do an action without any input by myself, for example:
The refuel door open
The HSI go off
FCR EXP mode is activatedSome times the combination of these actions and this happen abount 10 times during a flight of 1.30 hours.
I have BMS 4.33.3 (same issue with the 4.33.2), Hotas Cougar, MFD and Saitek rudders pedals, I have never found problems like these in 5 years of activity… I don’t know what to do.
Any suggestion? What can be the reason of this strange behaviour?
My key file is the original BMS FULL of the sim and I have the Dunc_DX configuration in my stick, emulation is on, less or more the same configuration from the beginning, sure from the 4.33 release.
Theater is the balcans, my goal is to try with Korea too, just to be sure that the problem is not related to the pit model.
Tks

HAHAAHAHAH!!! Nope, single seat!
-
anything new or changed hardware wise?
-
Something running in the back ground.
-
No, same hardware (Cougar + MFD + TrackIR + Saitek RP) and in background nothing running. I have tried a keylogger to find some possible key stroke in background but nothing….
-
my guess
keystroke contamination.
Some buttons sent unwanted keypresses from your input system
check each separately with viewer and assess randome keystrokes without pilot actionanother way to do it is to see which keystrokes/Dx are generated from the setup controler ui menu (you’ll see them popup) see where they are programmed and you find the culprit button

I’ve encountered similar issues lately. My first thought would be what RD says above, keystroke issues.
However I’m thinking it might be something else. Maybe important, but in my case I have other switches and stuff changing, so maybe unrelated to the OP’s problem.
In my case I have had numerous times that my landing light switch is set back to the on position without me touching it, and that my altimeter pressure reverts back to initial QNH instead of STD 1013 I set after passing TL.
I have to do some more tests but I think it might have to do with me taking screenshots. Since 4.33U1 and me having a 4K screen, when I trigger a screenshot my entire pc hangs for about 3 tot 5 seconds. I mean really hang, screen blocks, sounds stop, Jetseat stops, MFD extractions stop. For others in same MP flight they see me flying but when on my end it comes back t life, I jump to a new position and in tacview afterwards I then become a new item in the players list to chose from (the older me just disappears from that moment in time).
So maybe the screenshot, causing the hang, also causes a switches reset to initial commit-taxi state or something? Just thinking out loud… -

Since Update 3 that should no longer be the case.
From the changelog:
- Screenshots will now be encoded and saved asynchronously. This should get rid of the micropauses/stutters that happened when taking screenshots (which have been abused to “evade” missiles in MP). As a side-effect, the PNG size has been reduced, and the JPG quality has been increased. Note: currently only works for 32bit color settings, 16bit will fail with an on-screen error message but BMS will continue to run.

From the changelog:
Yes, I saw that, was excited about that. But not yet upgraded to U3 I’m afraid
If that was triggering the issue, then maybe my switch issues will be resolved too. -
As Red Dog was saying, most likely while your “Communicating” Are you using TeamSpeak in flight, or have you set/changed key press on your J-Stick for IVC.
At one time I was shutting down the engine while applying wheel breaks and using IVC at the same time,

Tks a lot to all, so what program or software interface I can use to check hotas cougar keystroke interactions? The thrustmaster viewer seems to show just the actions of the Cougar buttons….
For the screenshot issues I have not the same problem but consider that my resolution is lower, just about 2580x1900. I just have a freez of less than 1 seconds.

try the controller tab in the setup section

Falcrum,
I was having the same problem, except mine was the right hardpoint(which isn’t even on my HOTAS), landing gear, and canopy(thankfully, THAT one was on deck).
I tried the scattergun approach- I changed my malmare protection to Microsoft Essentials. I did that as even outside BMS I would sometimes notice uncommanded mouse clicks.- The problems were occurring in the Saitek x-55 throttle assembly that I use as gear lever/secondary switch panel.So, I played with the UI first to make sure the DX assignments weren’t messed up. Then did what I could to make the SST profile “clean”. Through trial and error I seemed to fix it(fingers crossed).
- If I hadn’t solved it, my next step would have been a complete keyfile replacement.

I just wanted to update that the problem seems to be solved. It turns out the problem was malware. Microsoft Essentials didn’t fix it, but SpyHunter did
