fixed "Launcher arm" only works correctly in a fresh helicopter, launches rockets on all subsequent activations

[K-dot-B]

Pressing the "launcher arm" button anytime after firing the first salvo will start launching rockets, regardless of weapon selector and safety settings. This will happen even after rearming the helicopter, so the issue makes it impossible to reset the new launchers.

In the attached track I performed these steps:

• preparing the weapons on the ground, launcher arm works as expected, indicator lights appear
• taking off, firing a regular rocket salvo
• pressing the launcher arm again starts firing rockets
• landing and rearming
• pressing the launcher arm fires the rockets from the new pods, even after turning off the weapon safety switch bar in the front cockpit

There is a problem with fire ctrl. S-5 and S-8 can be fired with the switch off.

@K-dot-B Hi, can you please confirm the issue is no more?

@Flappie Hello, unfortunately this bug is still here. I made a fresh track today in the latest version.

The Launcher Arm button fires rockets when pressed anytime after the first salvo is launched in the session, which makes it impossible to reset fresh launcher pods after a rearm.
