Carb heat and filter levers moving without any input

Post by HE11DUDE04 »

So yeah this has happened since upgrading to p3d 4.4 and it was just the filter as i needed it one time so i put it on but every few mins i noticed it had gone back to off it happened one other time when it wasn't needed and it kept turning on but other than that it was fine. However, today after landing the carb heat was on i never turned it on and there isn't anything set to it in the control settings (I checked every device) so i'm not sure if this is just me or no one else has noticed but it is very strange. Let it be noted that there isn't any option to have the carb air filter set as anything (in my sim anyway) and i checked the input config.

Are you quite sure this isn't an inadvertent control input He11dude? For example, any chance carb heat is still mapped to the default 'H' key in Prepar3D, and this key somehow got pressed?

Thanks,
Nick

Sounds like there's still a control conflict somewhere. Anything mapped in the P-51 Input Configurator?

Thanks,
Nick

Its will be a mapping or setting issue. Can you please double check all your controls and mapping in sim, in the A2A Input config and in any other third party software you might be using such as FSUIPC etc.

thanks,
Lewis
