Mig-21 Loses Canopy

[dermarv03]

MT mission loads and this happens the last few days.  Sometimes I get placed in the cockpit with a loud thud and the canopy is already gone.  Then there is this. What is happening?  Happens with my created missions and with the training missions that come with the Fishbed.  Everything was fine earlier this week.

Have you checked your controls? Perhaps something got bound to the canopy jettison by accident?

As you probably figured it out, these two white protruding thingies on both sides of the cockpit are pistons responsible for canopy jettison. As razo+r said, double check if you ain't got this function assigned to anything on your HOTAS or keyboard.

Thank you both.  I didn't have anything bound to canopy jettison, but a thumb slider on my throttle which was set to eject was in the half-way position.  I'm an idiot.
