unable to reproduce Taking control randomly sets throttles to 50%

[FalcoGer]

Sometimes the throttle randomly jumps to 50% when hopping into an aircraft or when taking control from the front seat. It seems to be a one time thing, as in, if it doesn't happen the first time, it doesn't happen after that either.

I have double checked that no axis is assigned to the throttles for any of my controllers and it isn't so, both for PLT and CPG.

Track attached. Track is a hot start and should start with 100% throttle, which it does most of the time. Just sometimes it jumps to 50%. When replying the track it consistently goes to 50%.

Hi @FalcoGerdo you have the engine throttle set to an axis and, if so, is the synchronization option turned on in the Special options?

Yes I do have sync cockpit controls on. But still, no axis is actually assigned to the throttle/power levers. It shouldn't synchronize controls when there are no controls bound to it.

You can see the control bindings in the screenshot above. It's cut off on the right, but there is only "Mouse" left, which is also blank. The highlighted line is the throttles.

I've been seeing similar behaviour ever since the AH-64D got released.

There was another bug that may or may not have been fixed where sync cockpit controls would not honor "disabled" controllers being disabled. Make sure it's not that. But in my case, no axis was assigned, even on a disabled controller.

Just a hazardous guess on my part is that it might be a race condition in MT between loading the controls diff lua and synchronizing cockpit controls. Maybe it synchronizes controls before reading the diff lua file and actually set the correct bindings and instead sync to the defaults?

I still have that controller connected that has the weird axis that's shared between the left and right trigger, 50% by default. Maybe it's somehow using that. Hard to test though since it's random.

Hi FalcoGer

we can see it in your track, but we are unable to reproduce in a clean mission. We have tested on various machines including mine with controls sync on and off.

I just had the same thing happen yesterday when I went from the front seat to the back. The throttle lever I have bound was set to 100% during cold start and not touched again.
