F15 random loss of pwr, engines and canopy at once

[Hankentanken]

Hi. This appears strange to me, though i am new to DCS. When playing (f15 campaign, but also other modes such as mp or editing) at random intervals the plane looses power, engines and sometimes the canopy opens. It can happen when im not touching the hotas, so not me pressing the wrong buttons.

 

Any ideas?

 

I changed my hotas, and also reinstalled the PC, about two weeks ago, didnt experience it before. Use a x56 v2 now.

Are you sure you don't have axis bound to another device? (Like to a steering wheel for instance). That could explain the sudden throttle input.

 

Still doesn't explain the canopy opening as I assume there's no axis bind for that in the F-15 (I wouldn't know as I pretty much never fly the F-15)

In the same vein it could be some controller conflict.

No other devices other than mouse and keyboard bound. But to clarify, its not a grafuall loss of pwr, its like an key on/off thing. From flying around to 'engine shutdown, displays go from green to off and canopy opening instantly.

Not quite sure what you lean, that there is something wrong with my hotas?

Sorry. I meant, perhaps several controls are bound to the same keys.

Could be, but in this instanse then it would have to be three diffrent things bound to the same key, however it can happen without me touching anything. IE flying to a waypoint, looking at my phone suddenly it happens.

Interference from your phone through your keyboard or mouse cable. I had this happen to me a couple of times, though not from a phone but a walkie talkie. If i had the radio too close to my usb keyboard it would stop qlab if someone was on the radio. this happened during show a couple of times before i found out what went on. annoying! :)

What does debriefing say?

[Hankentanken]

A bit of late response here, but debrief says nothing. Happend in multiplayer yesterday in a fight, sucks much more then in singleplsyer :(

[draconus]

I asked because debriefing should tell being hit or engine shutdown. Were you in prolonged negative G?

Save track or video next time. Cockpit shot at least. Check external view for possible damage.

Oh, at very low alt bird hit is a thing.

I found the solution, the x56 requires more power from the usb than my usb hub could deliver. Plugged it into my pc directly and that solved it. Common problem on google when i focused my search on the hotas and not dcs :)
