SU25T canopy opens without controller imputs when missions start

When starting a quick or training mission in the air, the canopy opens without any controller or keyboard inputs from me. For missions starting on the ground this is not an issue as I can just close the canopy and fly the mission; however, for missions that start in-flight, when the canopy opens automatically it is torn away and mission cannot be reasonably flown which makes flying any training, instant action, or already included mission for this aircraft which starts in the air impossible to fly.

This problem also manifests in the SU25A, but none of the full fidelity aircraft I own (almost all of them). This problem does not manifest at any other time--only when a mission starts or after a training mission moves out of active pause in the SU25's.

Is there some change I need to make such that instant action, training and pre-set missions for the SU25's don't begin with mission opening the canopy?

I just tested Su-25T in Caucasus map. Instant Action Mission, 'Close air Support - Medium'. Canopy stays in place after air start and maneuvers like it should.
Open Beta, latest patch.

No mods.

Check your bindings for canopy opening, and controls.

Post a track if possible.

Thank you.

I did have the canopy bound to a switch on my throttle, and unbinding it seems to have solved the problem. I would have thought that whatever setting was in place for the aircraft at mission start would have stayed the same unless I made some input to that setting either through a bound switch or button or a keyboard command. Interesting. I also realized that I had not yet bound the canopy open/close control to the other FC3 aircraft I tested (not imagining that would be the problem) and when I did, I had the problem in those aircraft too. Canopy bindings now removed from all FC3 aircraft and problem appears solved.

I'm curious why binding the canopy open/close to a switch on my throttle resulted in the canopy opening without my changing the switch position when this doesn't happen with the full-fidelity aircraft I have the same switch bound to. Is it the fact that in FC3 aircraft there is not a separate "Canopy Open" and "Canopy close" setting but rather one "Canopy Open/Close" setting?

Turning off "Synchronize cockpit controls with HOTAS controls at Mission Start" in Misc. menu allowed me to rebind my canopy to the switch I had been using for that purpose in other aircraft without that action resulting in the canopy opening at mission start. Thanks again to everyone for the information and suggestions.
